Image Tracking Analysis Report

The following comments were selected to represent the range of voices, dialects, and sentiments active in this dataset. They are reproduced as collected; no content has been altered.

English translations generated by AI. The original text is shown below each translation, in whatever language it was written.

144 mentions of Ramadan show the month is a primary focal point for the conversation. 141 mentions of Islam and 111 mentions of Muslims carry negative sentiment toward the channel, showing that people link the content to negative views of these concepts.

Dominant Sentiment is the tone of the items that mention the entity. Where the classifier recorded sentiment toward the entity itself that is used; otherwise the item's sentiment toward the subject stands in, so the column reads as "how the people who brought this up felt", not "how they feel about it". Mixed means the leading tone led the runner-up by less than a fifth, and the same margin applies to Dominant Stance. Dominant Stance counts only the items that named this entity as what they were for or against, which is a much smaller group than the items that took a stance on the subject as a whole: the two columns can point opposite ways without either being wrong.

• Negative runs 27 points ahead of positive.

40% of the analysed items (comments) use Modern Standard Arabic, while 25% use Levantine, making these the most engaged speech communities. Gulf-speaking commenters are the most critical, as 65% of Gulf items are negative. This is 22 points higher than the 43% of negative items among those writing in Modern Standard Arabic.

The conversation is dominated by high intensity emotional responses, where moral condemnation serves as the primary vehicle for criticising the channel. This pattern reveals a polarised narrative strategy where users employ extreme ethical judgments to delegitimize the content, contrasting sharply with a smaller segment of deep personal affection.

Frame descriptions

This dataset consists of 3,968 analysed items (comments), comprising 100 posts and 3,868 comments from YouTube. Because all data comes from one platform, the set cannot show how the conversation compares across platforms or if it runs elsewhere.

The counter-narrative is dominated by Moral Condemnation, driven by 326 distinct voices who utilise aggressive language to attack the subject's character and upbringing. This is supported by a fragmented set of critiques focusing on Provocation And Ragebaiting (129 distinct voices) and Political Critique (90 distinct voices), with users frequently accusing the channel of hypocrisy and anti-Islamic sentiment.

5 qualifying counter-narrative clusters -- each meets the spec's 3-element rule (≥2 distinct voices, ≥3 items, shared framing).

One account generated 280 engagement and carries an ANTI stance with negative sentiment. Another account produced 208 engagement and carries a PRO stance with neutral sentiment. A third account generated 187 engagement and carries an ANTI stance with negative sentiment.

Ordered by engagement. The account that wrote the most is Voice_11, with 66 of the 3,968 comments (1.7%) and 53 in engagement -- volume and reach are not the same thing here.

Share of Voice: each account's engagement as a percentage of the engagement recorded across every item in this dataset. Engagement = likes + replies + shares. It is a share of the reactions these items drew, not of how much of the conversation an account wrote: the comments column is that.

Ramadan and Islam draw the most attention with 144 and 141 mentions respectively. Several entities share a positive dominant sentiment, including Jaafar Tuk and Algeria. Several entities share a negative dominant sentiment, including Islam, Muslims, and the West. These mentions show the conversation focuses on religion and the relationship between the Arab world and the West.

Ramadan (رمضان) dominates by volume. Muslims (المسلمين) carries the most opposition.

Dominant Sentiment is the tone of the items that mention the entity. Where the classifier recorded sentiment toward the entity itself that is used; otherwise the item's sentiment toward the subject stands in, so the column reads as "how the people who brought this up felt", not "how they feel about it". Mixed means the leading tone led the runner-up by less than a fifth, and the same margin applies to Dominant Stance. Dominant Stance counts only the items that named this entity as what they were for or against, which is a much smaller group than the items that took a stance on the subject as a whole: the two columns can point opposite ways without either being wrong.

893 items carry an ANTI stance (22.5% of dataset). Samples below, in English translation where the analysis produced one. They are reproduced as collected and are not edited: the opposition in this conversation includes insults and sectarian language, and removing it would misrepresent what was said.

2 signals detected across 3,598 items.

Context: dataset averages 11.8 items/hour across the collection window (2 weeks).

Four accounts posted the same message multiple times, including one account that posted 11 near-identical messages. Eight bursts of activity occurred over seven days, with 23 accounts posting within 30 minutes during the largest peak on 24 February. Six of these bursts happened shortly after a post was published, which often happens when a real audience arrives to watch a new video. A person should check if the repeated text comes from a single person sharing their own view or from different accounts following a script to determine if this activity is coordinated.

This audience, consisting of the people who wrote 3,868 comments across 100 posts, frequently uses Moral Condemnation (30% of items) and Political Critique (16% of items) to attack the presenter's persona and the channel's production quality. Because the authenticity risk is MEDIUM -- with the scanner counting repeated text from one account and bursts of posting -- the editorial team should review these flagged indicators to determine if the negativity is driven by a small number of repetitive users before deciding on specific moderation rules. The team should also note that while 32% of the dataset raised Social Awareness and 30% raised Religious Faith and Trials, these are prevalent themes of discussion and not necessarily requests for more content. Decisions regarding the channel's tone should balance the 27% of stanced items that are PRO with the 40% that are ANTI, as these represent a value dispute over the presenter's style and the channel's framing.
