This research seeks to understand the ways B/Vi people communicate by scrubbing through videos on YouTube of B/Vi commentators.
Key Points
The method used to find the videos is searching for “visually im-paired” or“blind” and “vlog”, “vlogs”, “vlog-ger”, “vlogging” or “blog”
Researchers found that most B/Vi people are talking about awareness.

Many researchers have used vlogs as a means of identifying communities of video bloggers (vloggers). Nevertheless, little is still known about how BVI vloggers interact through vlogs in video-based social media. To fill the gap, we identified BVI vloggers and types of the vlogs they produced by analyzing videos on YouTube. Also, we found how BVI vloggers were connected with each other through vlogs. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt utilizing vlogs to understand the community of BVI people on YouTube.},
