“You Know What to Do”: Proactive Detection of YouTube Videos Targeted by Coordinated Hate Attacks

"Also note that /pol/, though a very good example of a tightknit community used to coordinate and disrupt other social groups, is not the only community responsible for performing raids against YouTube videos. Other Web communities, e.g,. Reddit [54] or Kiwi Farms [20] also regularly take part in raiding activity"

As part of future work, we plan to use deep-learning methods to fuse audio, video, and metadata into a single classifier. We also plan to look into raids from other communities, such as Reddit, Gab.ai, and Kiwi Farms.

Finally, it might perhaps be tempting to dismiss the relatively low occurrence of raids, vis-a-vis the number of ` YouTube videos posted every day, as being a niche problem. On the contrary, harassment and bullying on YouTube are widely recognized as a serious issue by authorities on the matter [47], and news reports are filled with ghastly stories [50] and advice on how to deal with hateful and harassing YouTube comments in particular [15, 26].

The closest we have ever done any “coordinated hate attacks” on any “YouTube videos” is just us tuning in in some performance actor’s streams or some lolcow videos like CWC but even then we’d rather discuss video content here.

Fucking hell, that one guy tho....

"Wanna come in? I won't eat your skin."

Just fucking unfortunate that is.
Also, protip: if you're gonna wear a suit? Maybe shave. 14 day neckbeard plus suit is gonna read "parole hearing" every time.

The only coordinated attack I have on these dumbass videos is to coordinate my mouse to attack the close button.

The YouTube comments section makes KF look like a Mormon tabernacle.

These people are fucking idiots.

Exactly. If I found an interesting video I'm much more inclined to share it here rather than actually engage in the comments section. I probably haven't left a YouTube comment almost ever. The only ones I have left are on friends videos.

There's a familiar face. This is the guy who co-authored the 15-page UN /pol/ paper, complete with a 3 page appendix of rare papes, and got effectively $50,000 in grant money to do so. Not that he's the primary author, it's hard to tell when most of the other guys posted are contributors on it as well: Jeremy Blackburn, Nicolas Kourtellis, Gianluca Stringhini, Ilias Leontiadis were all on that paid shitpost.

again, these guys are getting paid to skim "The Dark Web for normies" and write a thin review on them with an academic flavor to it. And here we are, doing the heavy lifting for free!

How do they distinguish legitimate attention versus a coordinated "attack"?

If the attention is not how they desire, it's an attack.

We instigate coordinated mockery and finger pointing

Everyone knows @Alan Pardew organises our raids in the secret forum.
