Connect the channel once. "price?" under any of your videos gets your public answer within seconds; the same keywords are answered in live chat while you stream.
YouTube has no DMs, so ViralDM does not pretend: the reply is public, in your words, posted from your channel under the viewer's comment (comments.insert), and in live chat through liveChatMessages while a broadcast is on. ViralDM polls your channel's own videos for new comments, matches the keyword, and posts the reply; rude comments can be held for review with comments.setModerationStatus. One OAuth scope (youtube.force-ssl), one connected channel, nothing scraped.
