Abstract

For as long as we can remember, when we purchase any item, the first thing we tend to do is look for an opinion from the salesman, friends, or even previous consumers, and in the age of technology, it has become even easier for one to gauge out a review from the comments under a product. This is Sentiment Analysis. It is very widely used for trend analysis for companies to see if their products are selling or not. It is used in customer service and during elections to see which candidate is more favourable. That is the case for YouTube videos too. Usually, the most viewed videos show up at the top and the lesser viewed videos at the bottom. In this paper, we have set out to find the sentiment of the comments of top five videos (based on views) under the recipe for ‘Rasbora’, a Bengali delicacy, to see if the most viewed video is actually the one with the most positive sentiment and to discuss what factors play a part in a video gaining more views and the problems faced in analysing the sentiment of the comments under a YouTube video.
