Toxicity Breakdown by Video (Top 10)

Average toxicity scores across comments on each video — bars show how commenters' language scores on each toxicity dimension.

Constructive vs Toxic

Each point is a comment. X-axis = toxicity, Y-axis = average constructive score (affinity, compassion, curiosity, nuance, personal story, reasoning, respect).

27,099

Toxicity & Constructiveness Over Time

Monthly average toxicity vs constructive scores — track how discourse quality shifts around key events.

Discourse Quality Score by Video (Top 10)

Composite score = avg constructive - avg toxicity, computed from comment-level Perspective API scores. Green bars = net constructive discourse; red bars = net toxic discourse.

Discourse Quality Score by Channel (Top 10)

Same composite score aggregated by channel — based on comment toxicity/constructiveness scores, not the channel's own content. Which channels' comment sections foster constructive vs toxic discussion?

Anytime I go it's for a couple weeks max, so no big deal. Trump isn't requiring anything that wasn't required for any other country visiting for more than 30 days or more.

We were in lockdown with Covid yet the liberals opened the doors wide open for immigrants. This made no sense. Time for change, vote conservative.
