Frontiers | COVID-19 Induced Misinformation on YouTube: An Analysis of User Commentary
03.03.2022 — Several scholars have demonstrated a positive link between political polarization and the resistance to COVID-19 prevention measures.
Several scholars have demonstrated a positive link between political polarization and the resistance to COVID-19 prevention measures. At the same time, political polarization has also been associated with the spread of misinformation. This study investigates the theoretical linkages between polarization and misinformation and measures the flow of misinformation about COVID-19 in the comment sections of four popular YouTube channels for over 16 months using big data sources and methods. For the analysis, we downloaded about 3.5M English language YouTube comments posted in response to videos about the pandemic. We then classified the comments into one of the two following categories by applying a supervised Natural Language Processing classifier: (1) fake: comments that contain claims and speculation which are verifiably not true; and (2) legitimate: comments that do not fall into the fake category. The results show that the level of misinformation in YouTube comment sections has increased during the pandemic, that fake comments attract statistically more likes, and that the ratio of fake comments increased by 0.4% per month. These findings suggest that once introduced into an online discussion, misinformation potentially leads to an escalating spiral of misinformation comments, which undermines public policy. Overall, the results signal alarming pandemic-related misinformation and, potentially, rising levels of affective polarization. We place these results in context and p…

JMIR Infodemiology – COVID-19 and Vitamin D Misinformation on YouTube: Content Analysis

Background: The “infodemic” accompanying the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic has the potential to increase avoidable spread as well as engagement in risky health behaviors. Although social media platforms, such as YouTube, can be an inexpensive and effective method of sharing accurate health information, inaccurate and misleading information shared on YouTube can be dangerous for viewers. The confusing nature of data and claims surrounding the benefits of vitamin D, particularly in the prevention or cure of COVID-19, influences both viewers and the general “immune boosting” commercial interest.Objective: The aim of this study was to ascertain how information on vitamin D and COVID-19 was presented on YouTube in 2020.Methods: YouTube video results for the search terms “COVID,” “coronavirus,” and “vitamin D” were collected and analyzed for content themes and deemed useful or misleading based on the accuracy or inaccuracy of the content. Qualitative content analysis and simple statistical analysis were used to determine the prevalence and frequency of concerning content, such as confusing correlation with causation regarding vitamin D benefits.Results: In total, 77 videos with a combined 10,225,763 views (at the time of data collection) were included in the analysis, with over three-quarters of them containing misleading content about COVID-19 and vitamin D. In addition, 45 (58%) of the 77 videos confused the relationship between vitamin D and COVID-19, with 46 (85%) of 54 videos stating that vitamin D has preventative or curative abilities. The major contributors to these videos were medical professionals with YouTube accounts. Vitamin D recommendations that do not align with the current literature were frequently suggested, including taking supplementation higher than the recommended safe dosage or seeking intentional solar UV radiation exposure.Conclusions: The spread of misinformation is particularly alarming when spread by medical professionals, and existing data suggesting vitamin D has immune-boosting abilities can add to viewer confusion or mistrust in health information. Further, the suggestions made in the videos may increase the risks of other poor health outcomes, such as skin cancer from solar UV radiation.
