Probably duplicate of #12989

Yeah ^^.

I don'tt think we can confirm this is a duplicate of #12989 since that one doesn't mention anything about comments from an old video persisting onto the new video. They might be related, but it's not guaranteed.

wait, this is totally different from my #12989, I also can reproduce this consistently, the only difference is I don't change videos in newpipe, I watched documentaries, so it is less noticeable. Yes confirm this is another bug.

On second thought, I am going to close this a duplicate of #12989 and use #13031 instead to track the bug of comments from previous video persisting.
