• Abstract: After the COVID-19 pandemic caused internet usage to grow by 70%, there has been an increased number of people all across the world using social media. Applications like Twitter, Meta Threads, YouTube, and Reddit have become increasingly pervasive, leaving almost no digital space where public opinion is not expressed. This paper investigates sentiment and semantic relationships among comments across various social media platforms, as well as discusses the importance of shared opinions across these different media platforms, using word embeddings to analyze components in sentences and documents. It allows researchers, politicians, and business representatives to trace a path of shared sentiment among users across the world. This research paper presents multiple approaches that measure the relatedness of text extracted from user comments on these popular online platforms. By leveraging embeddings, which capture semantic relationships between words and help analyze sentiments across the web, we can uncover connections regarding public opinion as a whole. The study utilizes pre-existing datasets from YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, and more. We made use of popular natural language processing models like Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) to analyze sentiments and explore relationships between comment embeddings. Additionally, we aim to utilize clustering and Kl-divergence to find semantic relationships within these comment embeddings across various social media platforms. Our analysis will enable a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of online comments and will investigate the notion of the internet functioning as a large interconnected brain.

  We run a large-scale survey at an online newspaper to gather daily self-reports of affective states from its users. We compare these with aggregated results of sentiment analysis of user discussions on the same online platform. For both platforms, we find strong correlations between text analysis results and levels of self-reported emotions.

  We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation. Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content. The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.

Offered by the same company, TikTok and Douyin are popular examples of such new media that has become popular in recent years. The hypothesis that they express cultural differences together with media fashion and social idiosyncrasy is the primary target of our research.
