Please cite the following paper when using this dataset:N. Thakur, V. Su, M. Shao, K. Patel, H. Jeong, V. Knieling, and A.Bian “A labelled dataset for sentiment analysis of videos on YouTube, TikTok, and other sources about the 2024 outbreak of measles,” arXiv [cs.CY], 2024. Available: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2406.07693AbstractThis dataset contains the data of 4011 videos about the ongoing outbreak of measles published on 264 websites on the internet between January 1, 2024, and May 31, 2024. These websites primarily include YouTube and TikTok, which account for 48.6% and 15.2% of the videos, respectively. The remainder of the websites include Instagram and Facebook as well as the websites of various global and local news organizations. For each of these videos, the URL of the video, title of the post, description of the post, and the date of publication of the video are presented as separate attributes in the dataset. After developing this dataset, sentiment analysis (using VADER), subjectivity analysis (using TextBlob), and fine-grain sentiment analysis (using DistilRoBERTa-base) of the video titles and video descriptions were performed. This included classifying each video title and video description into (i) one of the sentiment classes i.e. positive, negative, or neutral, (ii) one of the subjectivity classes i.e. highly opinionated, neutral opinionated, or least opinionated, and (iii) one of the fine-grain sentiment classes i.e. fear, surprise, joy, sadness, anger, disgust, or neutral. These results are presented as separate attributes in the dataset for the training and testing of machine learning algorithms for performing sentiment analysis or subjectivity analysis in this field as well as for other applications. The paper associated with this dataset (please see the above-mentioned citation) also presents a list of open research questions that may be investigated using this dataset.

This is a dataset of videos and comments related to the invasion of Ukraine, published on TikTok by a number of users over the year of 2022. It was compiled by Benjamin Steel, Sara Parker and Derek Ruths at the Network Dynamics Lab, McGill University. We created this dataset to facilitate the study of TikTok, and the nature of social interaction on the platform relevant to a major political event.

The dataset has been released here on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7534952 as well as on Github: https://github.com/networkdynamics/data-and-code/tree/master/ukraine_tiktok

To create the dataset, we identified hashtags and keywords explicitly related to the conflict to collect a core set of videos (or ”TikToks”). We then compiled comments associated with these videos. All of the data captured is publically available information, and contains personally identifiable information. In total we collected approximately 16 thousand videos and 12 million comments, from approximately 6 million users. There are approximately 1.9 comments on average per user captured, and 1.5 videos per user who posted a video. The author personally collected this data using the web scraping PyTok library, developed by the author: https://github.com/networkdynamics/pytok.

Due to scraping duration, this is just a sample of the publically available discourse concerning the invasion of Ukraine on TikTok. Due to the fuzzy search functionality of the TikTok, the dataset contains videos with a range of relatedness to the invasion.

We release here the unique video IDs of the dataset in a CSV format. The data was collected without the specific consent of the content creators, so we have released only the data required to re-create it, to allow users to delete content from TikTok and be removed from the dataset if they wish. Contained in this repository are scripts that will automatically pull the full dataset, which will take the form of JSON files organised into a folder for each video. The JSON files are the entirety of the data returned by the TikTok API. We include a script to parse the JSON files into CSV files with the most commonly used data. We plan to further expand this dataset as collection processes progress and the war continues. We will version the dataset to ensure reproducibility.

To build this dataset from the IDs here:

Go to https://github.com/networkdynamics/pytok and clone the repo locally

Run pip install -e . in the pytok directory

Run pip install pandas tqdm to install these libraries if not already installed

Run get_videos.py to get the video data

Run video_comments.py to get the comment data

Run user_tiktoks.py to get the video history of the users

Run hashtag_tiktoks.py or search_tiktoks.py to get more videos from other hashtags and search terms

Run load_json_to_csv.py to compile the JSON files into two CSV files, comments.csv and videos.csv

If you get an error about the wrong chrome version, use the command line argument get_videos.py --chrome-version YOUR_CHROME_VERSION Please note pulling data from TikTok takes a while! We recommend leaving the scripts running on a server for a while for them to finish downloading everything. Feel free to play around with the delay constants to either speed up the process or avoid TikTok rate limiting.

Please do not hesitate to make an issue in this repo to get our help with this!

The date can be compiled into a user interaction network to facilitate study of interaction dynamics. There is code to help with that here: https://github.com/networkdynamics/polar-seeds. Additional scripts for further preprocessing of this data can be found there too.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, TikTok generated around 186 million downloads from users worldwide. Initially launched in China first by ByteDance as Douyin, the short-video format was popularized by TikTok and took over the global social media environment in 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, TikTok downloads peaked at over 313.5 million worldwide, up by 62.3 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019.

              TikTok interactions: is there a magic formula for content success?

              In 2024, TikTok registered an engagement rate of approximately 4.64 percent on video content hosted on its platform. During the same examined year, the social video app recorded over 1,100 interactions on average. These interactions were primarily composed of likes, while only recording less than 20 comments per piece of content on average in 2024.
              The platform has been actively monitoring the issue of fake interactions, as it removed around 236 million fake likes during the first quarter of 2024. Though there is no secret formula to get the maximum of these metrics, recommended video length can possibly contribute to the success of content on TikTok.
              It was recommended that tiny TikTok accounts with up to 500 followers post videos that are around 2.6 minutes long as of the first quarter of 2024. While, the ideal video duration for huge TikTok accounts with over 50,000 followers was 7.28 minutes. The average length of TikTok videos posted by the creators in 2024 was around 43 seconds.

              What’s trending on TikTok Shop?

              Since its launch in September 2023, TikTok Shop has become one of the most popular online shopping platforms, offering consumers a wide variety of products. In 2023, TikTok shops featuring beauty and personal care items sold over 370 million products worldwide.
              TikTok shops featuring womenswear and underwear, as well as food and beverages, followed with 285 and 138 million products sold, respectively. Similarly, in the United States market, health and beauty products were the most-selling items,
              accounting for 85 percent of sales made via the TikTok Shop feature during the first month of its launch. In 2023, Indonesia was the market with the largest number of TikTok Shops, hosting over 20 percent of all TikTok Shops. Thailand and Vietnam followed with 18.29 and 17.54 percent of the total shops listed on the famous short video platform, respectively.

Trending on TikTok

We are probably all familiar with TikTok. People tend to spend hours each day scrolling through the millions of videos which are uploaded every single day. Not to mention the uploaders who are giving anything to get as many likes and followers as possible. But what makes one TikTok video a true hit or a miss? I give you an opportunity to figure this out ;)

I scraped the first 1000 trending videos on TikTok, using an unofficial TikTok web-scraper. Note to mention I had to provide my user information to scrape the trending information, so trending might be a personalized page. But that doesn't change the fact that certain people and videos got a certain amount of likes and comments.

I transformed the data into usable csv files and attached the actual videos as well.

What's in the files

Videos.zip This file contains the actual 1000 trending TikTok videos. Each filename corresponds to the id key in the trending.json file.

trending.json The raw scraped dataset. I figured splitting up the dataset resulted in messy errors. For example: a user might have one avatar while posting a video and another while posting the next video. This resulted in multiple users with the same name, id etc. except for the avatar. So I decided to post the raw data and I will show you how to translate this multi-level JSON structure to a single DataFrame in my first Notebook.

Inspiration

So what does make a TikTok video a true hit? Is it the moment when a video is uploaded? Or perhaps the amount of followers is an important factor? Maybe the hashtags or even the music being used?

So... are you the one who unlocks the mystery?

We used TikTok’s built-in account analytics to download and record video and account metrics for the period between 10/8/2021 and 2/6/2022. We collected the following summary data for each individual video: video views, likes, comments, shares, total cumulative play time, average duration the video was watched, percentage of viewers who watched the full video, unique reached audience, and the percentage of video views by section (For You, personal profile, Following, hashtags).
We evaluated the “success” of videos based on reach and engagement metrics, as well as viewer retention (how long a video is watched). We used metrics of reach (number of unique users the video was seen by) and engagement (likes, comments, and shares) to calculate the engagement rate of each video. The engagement rate is calculated as the engagement parameter as a percentage of total reach (e.g., Likes / Audience Reached *100).

During the fourth quarter 2024, approximately 20.6 million TikTok accounts were removed from the platform due to suspicion of being operated by users under the age of 13. During the last measured period, around 185 million fake accounts were removed from fake accounts removed from TikTok.

How many people use social media?

              Social media usage is one of the most popular online activities. In 2024, over five billion people were using social media worldwide, a number projected to increase to over six billion in 2028.

              Who uses social media?
              Social networking is one of the most popular digital activities worldwide and it is no surprise that social networking penetration across all regions is constantly increasing. As of January 2023, the global social media usage rate stood at 59 percent. This figure is anticipated to grow as lesser developed digital markets catch up with other regions
              when it comes to infrastructure development and the availability of cheap mobile devices. In fact, most of social media’s global growth is driven by the increasing usage of mobile devices. Mobile-first market Eastern Asia topped the global ranking of mobile social networking penetration, followed by established digital powerhouses such as the Americas and Northern Europe.

              How much time do people spend on social media?
              Social media is an integral part of daily internet usage. On average, internet users spend 151 minutes per day on social media and messaging apps, an increase of 40 minutes since 2015. On average, internet users in Latin America had the highest average time spent per day on social media.

              What are the most popular social media platforms?
              Market leader Facebook was the first social network to surpass one billion registered accounts and currently boasts approximately 2.9 billion monthly active users, making it the most popular social network worldwide. In June 2023, the top social media apps in the Apple App Store included mobile messaging apps WhatsApp and Telegram Messenger, as well as the ever-popular app version of Facebook.

How much time do people spend on social media?

              As of 2024, the average daily social media usage of internet users worldwide amounted to 143 minutes per day, down from 151 minutes in the previous year. Currently, the country with the most time spent on social media per day is Brazil, with online users spending an average of three hours and 49 minutes on social media each day. In comparison, the daily time spent with social media in
              the U.S. was just two hours and 16 minutes. Global social media usageCurrently, the global social network penetration rate is 62.3 percent. Northern Europe had an 81.7 percent social media penetration rate, topping the ranking of global social media usage by region. Eastern and Middle Africa closed the ranking with 10.1 and 9.6 percent usage reach, respectively.
              People access social media for a variety of reasons. Users like to find funny or entertaining content and enjoy sharing photos and videos with friends, but mainly use social media to stay in touch with current events friends. Global impact of social mediaSocial media has a wide-reaching and significant impact on not only online activities but also offline behavior and life in general.
              During a global online user survey in February 2019, a significant share of respondents stated that social media had increased their access to information, ease of communication, and freedom of expression. On the flip side, respondents also felt that social media had worsened their personal privacy, increased a polarization in politics and heightened everyday distractions.

The global social media penetration rate in was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2028 by in total 11.6 (+18.19 percent). After the ninth consecutive increasing year, the penetration rate is estimated to reach 75.31 and therefore a new peak in 2028. Notably, the social media penetration rate of was continuously increasing over the past years.
