What Makes A Video Radicalizing? Identifying Sources of Influence in QAnon Videos
<|reference_start|>What Makes A Video Radicalizing? Identifying Sources of Influence in QAnon Videos: In recent years, radicalization is being increasingly attempted on video-sharing platforms. Previous studies have been proposed to identify online radicalization using generic social context analysis, without taking into account comprehensive viewer traits and how those can affect viewers' perception of radicalizing content. To address the challenge, we examine QAnon, a conspiracy-based radicalizing group, and have designed a comprehensive questionnaire aiming to understand viewers' perceptions of QAnon videos. We outline the traits of viewers that QAnon videos are the most appealing to, and identify influential factors that impact viewers' perception of the videos.<|reference_end|>
