  • From Ranking Algorithms to New Media Technologies 2018, Vol
    Article Convergence: The International Journal of Research into From ranking algorithms to New Media Technologies 2018, Vol. 24(1) 50–68 ª The Author(s) 2017 ‘ranking cultures’: Investigating Reprints and permission: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav the modulation of visibility DOI: 10.1177/1354856517736982 in YouTube search results journals.sagepub.com/home/con Bernhard Rieder University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Ariadna Matamoros-Ferna´ndez Queensland University of Technology, Australia O` scar Coromina Universitat Auto`noma de Barcelona, Spain Abstract Algorithms, as constitutive elements of online platforms, are increasingly shaping everyday sociability. Developing suitable empirical approaches to render them accountable and to study their social power has become a prominent scholarly concern. This article proposes an approach to examine what an algorithm does, not only to move closer to understanding how it works, but also to investigate broader forms of agency involved. To do this, we examine YouTube’s search results ranking over time in the context of seven sociocultural issues. Through a combination of rank visualizations, computational change metrics and qualitative analysis, we study search ranking as the distributed accomplishment of ‘ranking cultures’. First, we identify three forms of ordering over time – stable, ‘newsy’ and mixed rank morphologies. Second, we observe that rankings cannot be easily linked back to popularity metrics, which highlights the role of platform features such as channel subscriptions in processes of visibility distribution. Third, we find that the contents appearing in the top 20 results are heavily influenced by both issue and platform vernaculars. YouTube-native content, which often thrives on controversy and dissent, systematically beats out mainstream actors in terms of exposure.

Introduction Search history. It is an excellent way to peer into someone’s mind and see what they are thinking at a particular moment in time. In a court room, search history can be used to show intent (mens rea). There are plenty of examples where search history has been used in court to establish a defendant’s intent. Probably the most gruesome was the New York City Cannibal Cop trial, where prosecutors used the accused’s search history against him. Of course, there is a fine line between intent and protected speech under the First Amendment. Over the past month and a half I have published a couple of blog posts dealing with Google Assistant and some of the artifacts it leaves behind, which you can find here and here.
