Revision as of 20:50, 6 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 survey (survey; 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).

It is also worth noting that in the case of many columns, if any data pertaining to the channel in question is completely deleted, the most recent entry will be preserved instead of the cell being emptied (for example, if a channel completely removes its description, its entry prior to deletion will be preserved).

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	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.

Topics	Automatic	Various topics in the form of Wikipedia page titles	All Tables	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	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	All Tables	- Several secondary topics can be listed if applicable.
Music Genre	Manual	See tags	Music Video Tables	Music Video Table	- 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	Music Video Table	- Day and month can be omitted if they are unknown.

Languages	Hybrid	The language(s) used on the channel in the form of ISO 639-3 codes	Other Language Tables	Other Language Table	- 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	Plant-based 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	Plant-based 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	Plant-based 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	Plant-based 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 (Trend)	Automatic	A rational number in the form of a percentage	Intact Tables

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).

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.
Quasi-vegan User	The channel's owner lies in a gray area between vegan and non-vegan; perhaps they only claim to be "plant-based," or perhaps they claim to be vegan, but participate in activities widely considered non-vegan. 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.
English Language	All of the channel's videos are in English.
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).
Unclassfied	A placeholder for channels that have not been assigned a proper section code yet.
