Make sure for privacy's sake that you only include that which the creator has made public themselves on their YouTube channel, even if other information is easily found on a linked website (unless you have their consent or intend to write a short important disclaimer). We'll make it clear how creators can email in to get information taken down, but also remember to use your best judgement.

Revision as of 23:06, 2 November 2019

Main Page: Vegan YouTubers

We are seeking volunteers to help fill in information about channels within the vegan YouTube directory. On this page, you will find a synopsis of how the directory is formatted, and instructions on how to update any data that must be obtained manually. To see an example of a table in the middle of updating click here.

We've also created a survey for vegan YouTube content creators so that their answers can be tabulated to help people understand where others stand on key issues that are useful with regards to discussion and progession as a movement.


Instructions

Step 1: Copy a table from the In need of updating section to work on and email activistjourneys@gmail.com to let me know so it can be taken off the wiki to prevent others from doing redundant work.

Step 2: Open up Google sheets and paste.

Step 3: Turn link sharing on for the file and email it when you're finished.


Data Types

Help is appreciated in filling in as little or as much of information as you feel comfortable (namely, it is perfectly accetable to cover only certain columns/channels, or to fill in content types and music genres without additional specifiers).

Make sure for privacy's sake that you only include that which the creator has made public themselves on their YouTube channel, even if other information is easily found on a linked website (unless you have their consent or intend to write a short important disclaimer). We'll make it clear how creators can email in to get information taken down, but also remember to use your best judgement.

The table below describes the properties and purpose of columns within the directory. The "Method of Acquisition" column serves to indicate whether the data in question is obtained via an automated process (automatic), from volunteer input (manual), using a combination of the first and second (hybrid; for situations where automatic acquisition is only possible occasionally/in certain specific scenarios), or by recieving answers to the quiz (quiz; this information can also be inputted by volunteers if it is publicly available, but in that case, a note must be made in the "Consent" column).

Column Name Method of Acquisition Possible Values Appears in Which Comprehensive Tables Appears in Which Specialised Tables Further Explanation/Notes
Title Automatic The name of the channel All Tables
Canonical ID Automatic The string of text found in the channel link of the format "https://www.youtube.com/channel/[Canonical ID]" All Tables - All channels have such an ID; channels that are deleted, whose custom ID is known, and whose canonical ID is unknown and unrecoverable using external sources such as SocialBlade and WayBack Machine are not listed in the main directory and are documented elsewhere.
Custom ID Automatic The string of text found in the channel link of the format "https://www.youtube.com/user/[Custom ID]" All Tables - Many channels have no such ID and will therefore have this field left blank.
Created Automatic The date (in YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format) on which the channel was created All Tables
Section Automatic See sections All Tables - Generated when sufficient information is entered into the "Vegan Status," "Channel Status," "Content Category," "Channel Activity," and "Language" columns.
Content Category Manual Vegan, Music, Other All Tables - This is one of the five columns that determines the section in which a channel is placed; see section information for definitions of each value.
Channel Status Automatic Intact, Empty, Deleted All Tables - This is one of the five columns that determines the section in which a channel is placed; see section information for definitions of each value.
Channel Activity Hybrid Active, Inactive All Tables - This is one of the five columns that determines the section in which a channel is placed; see section information for definitions of each value.
Vegan Status Manual Vegan, Quasi-vegan, Non-vegan All Tables - This is one of the five columns that determines the section in which a channel is placed; see section information for definitions of each value.
Topics Automatic Various topics in the form of Wikipedia page titles All Tables - Generated by YouTube's algorithms; although not the same as "Primary and Secondary Content Type," which are determined manually using our own tags, it can still be helpful when filling in those columns.
Primary Content Manual See tags All Tables - Only one primary topic can be listed (this can, however, include several additional specifiers with parentheses where applicable).
Secondary Content Manual See tags All Tables - Several secondary topics can be listed if applicable.
Music Genre Manual See tags Music Video Tables - Several genres can be listed if applicable.
Musical Debut Manual The date (in YYYY-MM-DD format) that the artist or group started producing music Music Video Tables - Day and month can be omitted if they are unknown.
Musical Retirement Manual The date (in YYYY-MM-DD format) that the artist or group stopped producing music Music Video Tables - Day and month can be omitted if they are unknown.

- Left blank if there is no explicit evidence that the artist or group has stopped producing music.

Location Hybrid The user's region of residence in the form of an ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code All Tables
Languages Hybrid The language(s) used on the channel in the form of ISO 639-3 codes Other Language Tables - The full list of language codes is extremely large; to find the correct code(s), use text search (CTRL+F) or refer to channels in the directory that already have this data.

- If more than one language is used on the channel, list them from most to least used.

- This is one of the five columns that determines the section in which a channel is placed; exclusively English channels are placed in different categories than those with at least one other language.

Attitude Towards Veganism Manual Anti-vegan, Pro-vegan Quasi-vegan and Non-vegan Tables - Leave blank if unclear or neither.
Ex-vegan Reason (Short) Manual One or a few words that succinctly describe why the user abandoned veganism Quasi-vegan and Non-vegan Tables - Naturally, this can only apply to channels with the ex-vegan tag in their "Vegan History" column.
Ex-vegan Reason (Long) Manual One or several sentences that describe in more detail why the user abandoned veganism Quasi-vegan and Non-vegan Tables - Naturally, this can only apply to channels with the ex-vegan tag in their "Vegan History" column.
Vegan History Manual Never Vegan, Ex-quasi-vegan, Ex-vegan Quasi-vegan and Non-vegan Tables - Naturally, only "never vegan" and "ex-vegan" can be entered to quasi-vegan tables.

- It may seem strange to have a "Never Vegan" category, but this is to keep track of channels that appear frequently in searches for vegan content, but only produce it from a non-vegan perspective.

Subscribers (Quantity) Automatic A non-negative integer All Tables - Left empty if the user choses to keep their subscriber count hidden.
Subscribers (Trend) Automatic A rational number in the form of a percentage All Tables
Views (Quantity) Automatic A non-negative integer All Tables
Views (Trend) Automatic A rational number in the form of a percentage All Tables

- If an entire video (or a portion of it that makes at least one coherent point) is uploaded without changing its original progression (including edits that involve the addition of subtitles or application of a filter), then it qualifies as reposted content.

- If the video is edited in such a way that involves changing/interrupting its original progession, adding media from other sources added to it, or extracting a small clip from it in such a way that strips it of its context (often for comedic purposes), then it does not qualify as reposted content.

Deleted Content Hybrid Yes, No All Tables - Leave blank if it is unclear from available information.

- If you know where any deleted videos can be obtained, we will gladly preserve them in the Deleted Videos Archive.

Amount of Channels Automatic A positive integer All Tables - This is a count of all the channels that are owned or co-owned by the user, and is therefore the sum of the amount of links in the "Other Channels" and "Collaborative Channels" columns, plus one (to account for the channel in question itself).

Collaborative Channels Manual A list of full links All Tables - Includes any channels co-owned by the user in question.
Contributive Channels Manual A list of full links All Tables - Includes the channels of the users who have contributed to at least one video on the channel in question, in addition to the channels that contain at least one video to which the user in question has contributed.

- Only planned contributions count; namely, videos such as responses and critiques do not count, but discussions and debates between several users do.

Information

This provides definitions for all of the terms used in the table above.

Category Definition
Intact The channel has at least one video.
Empty The channel has zero videos.
Deleted The channel no longer exists.
Vegan Videos At least 50% of the channel's videos pertain to veganism.
Music Videos At least 50% of the channel's videos are songs; this overrides the "Vegan Videos" category in cases where the channel mainly produces vegan-related music.
Other Videos At least 50% of the channel's videos belong in neither the "Vegan Videos" nor the "Music Videos" category.
Vegan User The channel's owner claims to be vegan, and there is no evidence to the contrary. This term applies to collaboration channels comprised of at least one vegan member.

This term applies to collaboration channels comprised of at least one quasi-vegan member and no vegan members.
Non-vegan User The channel's owner is unambiguously a non-vegan/malzoist/carnist. This term applies to collaboration channels comprised of exclusively non-vegan members.

Other Language At least one of the channel's videos is in a language other than English.
Active The channel's most recent video is no more than 60 days old (unless the channel has a clearly regular upload schedule where the time period between the release of each video is greater than 60 days).
Inactive The channel's most recent video is more than 60 days old (unless the channel has a clearly regular upload schedule where the time period between the release of each video is greater than 60 days).
