Sometimes I'd like to see comments that mention a specific keyword, but currently yay only removes items with certain keywords.

There is a workaround with regular expressions: ^((?!keyword).)*$

Sure, that workaround should work. And I don't come up with such a use case. Why don't you just find the keyword in page? I'm curious if there is enough demand.

Youtube does not load all the comments at once, you need to scroll the page. The extension also removes unnecessary comments and forces YouTube to upload new ones
