Determining the individuals who have positively reacted to a YouTube comment is not a directly available feature within the platform’s native interface. YouTube provides an aggregate count of likes received on a comment, but it does not offer a breakdown of specific user identities associated with those likes. This functionality differs from other social media platforms where user-specific feedback on comments is readily visible.
The absence of this feature maintains a level of user privacy on YouTube. While content creators can identify commenters, the identities of those who simply liked a comment remain anonymous. Historically, YouTube’s design has prioritized public channel and video metrics over individual user interactions, focusing on broad engagement rather than granular data sharing. This approach aims to protect viewers from potential harassment or unwanted attention based on their comment interactions.
