max_comments takes thread_count,total,replies_per_thread,reply_pages. Passing just one value left the rest unset which caused yt-dlp to fetch only 1 comment. Now passes 20,20,0,0 to fetch 20 top-level comments with no replies. Also switch --no-download to --skip-download. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
