Public Perception of Kanye West

Welcome! I kindly invite you to take part in my survey on the public perception of Kanye West.


My name is Rugilė Vaidachovičiūtė, I am a second-year New Media Language student at Kaunas University of Technology. I am conducting a research study which aims to compare and analyse the comment sections of two YouTube videos featuring Kanye West: one showcasing his live performance and the other capturing his chaotic presidential rally debut. The goal is to investigate and understand the differing perceptions of Kanye West's public image and behaviour as expressed by viewers in the comment sections. However, to gain a more thorough understanding, I would appreciate your assistance. You can easily contribute by taking a couple of minutes to answer the provided questions. Participation in this survey is completely voluntary, and you may choose to withdraw from it at any time. All answers are confidential and will be used for research purposes only. Once again, thank you.
