This will not be worked on because each individual's search terms will be different. I only created this issue to inform everyone of this bug. However, once I have more information on how to avoid this, I'll draw out some guidelines.

Saw someone suggest the idea of updating the video description rather than searching for the comment that matches the SEARCH_TERMS. We could append a small stats comment at the top of descriptions making it look it:

14k 👍 1.5k 👎
=============
I'm not a fan of YouTube removing the dislike count from all videos, so I decided to put the discount like back on my own channel with a little bit of code.

Message to YouTube: I did all of this using your APIs and your documentation, so please don't ban me. Lol thanks.

And split by the first instance of ============= when we want to update only the stats portion

I fixed the SEARCH_TERMS issue, at least for myself. I don't want to go the description route considering most people don't read the description. And I'd have to put it at the bottom since I have obligations to put sponsored links at the top. Also, the video gets re-indexed every time the description changes. Not sure what this effects, but could hinder SEO. I'm also too scared to overwrite my descriptions lol.

I suggest you pin this issue then
