Command to archive only metadata #13

Can you add a new command or flag to the IRC but to only archive the metadata (plus comments) of a specified list of YouTube videos?

Do you have some examples of the videos you would want to use this for?

On the long term I do still plan a crawl of metadata/subtitles/comments of all YouTube videos.

A very long list of YouTube videos that are not particularly in danger, but their comments may be, for example, a playlist of videos related to 9/11, WW2, or other historical events, as YouTube may disable comments on all of the videos to prevent violent comments, discrimination, and racism. YouTube videos that have not been marked as “Made for kids” but appears to be a kids video at first glance may also work. A large playlist filled with random videos could work as well.

Also, videos that have been archived by ArchiveTeam, but the comments have not been would make use of the command.

We archive all comments for a youtube video if we archive the video.
