Abstract

This study aimed to reinvestigate four political roles and impacts of internet—mobilization, reinforcement, equalization, and normalization, focusing on the case of politically-themed stocks on YouTube. Results indicated that YouTube was useful in terms of increasing specific candidates’ visibility, which might lead to popularity. However, such visibility does not always have a remarkable impact. For a better understanding of the impact of societal issues, multi-directional and multi-modal approaches might be needed.
