“怎么样？“了解YouTube上的Incel社区
"How over is it?" Understanding the Incel Community on YouTube
摘要：
YouTube是迄今为止全球最大的用户生成视频内容的主机。唉，该平台也因托管不适当的，有毒的和仇恨的内容而受到抨击。一个经常与分享和发布仇恨和厌恶女性的内容有关的社区是非自愿独身者（Involuntary Celibates），这是一个表面上关注男性问题的松散定义的运动。在本文中，我们开始分析YouTube上的Incel社区，重点关注该社区在过去十年中的演变，并了解YouTube的推荐算法是否会引导用户观看与Incel相关的视频。我们收集Reddit内Incel社区上分享的视频，并对YouTube上发布的内容进行数据驱动的表征。除此之外，我们发现YouTube上的Incel社区越来越受欢迎，在过去十年中，与Incel相关的视频和评论数量大幅增加。我们还发现，当用户从一个非Incel相关的视频开始时，YouTube的推荐算法在五跳内向用户推荐一个Incel相关的视频的概率为6.3%。总的来说，我们的研究结果描绘了一幅令人震惊的在线激进化图景：不仅Incel活动随着时间的推移而增加，而且平台也可能在引导用户转向这种极端内容方面发挥积极作用。
英文摘要：
YouTube is by far the largest host of user-generated video content worldwide. Alas, the platform has also come under fire for hosting inappropriate, toxic, and hateful content. One community that has often been linked to sharing and publishing hateful and misogynistic content are the Involuntary Celibates (Incels), a loosely defined movement ostensibly focusing on men's issues. In this paper, we set out to analyze the Incel community on YouTube by focusing on this community's evolution over the last decade and understanding whether YouTube's recommendation algorithm steers users towards Incel-related videos. We collect videos shared on Incel communities within Reddit and perform a data-driven characterization of the content posted on YouTube. Among other things, we find that the Incel community on YouTube is getting traction and that, during the last decade, the number of Incel-related videos and comments rose substantially. We also find that users have a 6.3% chance of being suggested an Incel-related video by YouTube's recommendation algorithm within five hops when starting from a non Incel-related video. Overall, our findings paint an alarming picture of online radicalization: not only Incel activity is increasing over time, but platforms may also play an active role in steering users towards such extreme content.
