Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining the audience appeal of a video hosted by a video hosting service. A video hosting service receives user rating information and user source information about a user who watches a video. Users were not exposed to the video by the video hosting service are included in an “early audience” group, and users who were exposed to the video by the video hosting service are included in a “late audience” group. The video hosting service then calculates a sentiment metric for the early audience and late audience, where the sentiment metric indicates how much the users in each group liked the video. Based on the early audience and late audience sentiment metrics, the video tracking module determines whether the video has a wide audience appeal or a narrow audience appeal.
