Double or triple negatives and how to transform them into a grammatical sentence

Dear all,

today I heard in a video (by a native English speaker) this sentence: "None of the videos on my channel no longer have any comments".


It obviously isn't grammatical, but how can I transform it into a grammatical sentence? Especially if I don't want to completely omit any of these bold print segments?


Thank you so much.

I'm surprised that a native speaker would say that! Nevertheless, I wouldn't say that it is ungrammatical. I'd just say it is silly, awkward, clumsy and hard to understand.
