Final Project: Method

  Method: 

The person I am planning to collect data from is my favorite social media influencer/vlogger, Kylie Ross. Kylie has two platforms that I follow which are Instagram and Youtube. I am personally not super big on Youtube, but I love to watch Kylie’s vlogs so I do like and subscribe to her Youtube channel. Since I am not very familiar with Youtube and Kylie Ross is the only person I am subscribed to, I thought it would be interesting to collect data from her Youtube channel.

Recently, in one of Kylie’s Instagram stories she mentioned how there are obviously haters and internet trolls, but that she found Youtube to be the absolute worst for her. With that being said, I want to analyze her critical comments on Youtube. I am going to choose five of her most popular vlogs. I am curious to see if these people have an actual username, a profile picture, and if they have commented on multiple of Kylie’s blog posts. The difference between an actual username and not an actual username is that an actual username will be a first and last name (ex: Kylie Ross), and an example for not an actual username would be something like - “BigBadDinosaur”.

Final Project: Literature Review

  Literature Review: In today’s society it is so easy for someone to hide behind a black screen and comment horrific things on your social media, and this is simply not okay. Cyberbullying has been a huge problem since social media became popular. Anyone can talk about someone behind their back but it is another thing to publicly shame someone for the rest of their followers to see, let alone to see it for yourself. Sadly, internet trolling is common on social media because it is easier for a stranger to deliberately judge you without you knowing who they are. Internet trolls will provocate anyone maliciously to make them feel good about themselves and to get a rise out of you. With that being said, this online behavior can cause severe problems to the user they are being critical to. These major problems could result in things like suicide, depression, physical harm, and psychological effects.       The reason I chose this particular topic itself is because rec...
