Just out: with @ekborra, @ocoromina and @andairamf, we analyzed 570M URLs from video descriptions to better understand how YouTube channels are making money. Results show a lot of heterogeneity between countries and categories. https://t.co/vsWoGsizYX

Allemaal hartstikke leuk die protesten.

Maar heb na al die tijd nog altijd geen antwoord op de vraag waarom uitgerekend deze drassige postzegel per se de koeiencapital van Europa moet zijn.

RIP academic Twitter API.

Access has been discontinued. It is hard to square Twitter's actions with the self proclaimed commitment to transparency and regulations like the #DSA.

The actions also remind us of the academic over-reliance of Twitter for research. But still 🤯

Alette Schoon and Henri-Count Evans oriented the Winter School participants to the use of Digital Methods Initiative’s 4Cat. This open source tool scrapes and sorts data from social media platforms, such as TikTok, 4chan, Instagram and Tumblr. We ❤️ 4Cat #digimethods2023

Yay for Research Software Engineers! Many are academics and do this mostly for love. Some want it to be a career but academic institutions often don't see the benefit

@ResearchSoftEng is doing great work so that the research software you need continues to be developed
