Cool! - Nice idea! A package with more custom activities for YouTube could really be popular, hope you can expand on this and add more functionalities, because this works as described! :)
PS: Don't even try to pick a random comment from Gangnam Style because that would make for a very tired robot!

This is a kind of fun workflow (maybe useful for some folks) that will fetch a random comment from any video picked from YouTube.The steps are very simple:Step 1: Get the URL of the Video from which the comment is to be fetched.Step 2: Get your YouTube Data API Key.If you already have one, you are good to go.If you don’t, follow these simple steps mentioned in the document attached. It only takes 5 minutes. Provide the Data obtained from both steps above to the workflow.in_VideoURL – URL from Step1in_APIkey – API key from Step2in_SearchString – (Optional) If this string is provided, only comments containing this string will be considered for selection.&nbsp;Note:<ul><li>in_SearchString matches comments with the same case, Upper and Lower case only.</li><li>The time taken by the process to pick a random comment depends on the number of comments a video has. If there are numerous comments, the process will take longer time.</li></ul>
