Annotation

To track rising agreements in video interaction, this study uses Kress's (2010) concepts of prompt and response to explore how video responses are linked to one of YouTube “Most Responded videos.” Interactants' creative appliance of the video response option enables multimodal text production via copy and pastes, and videos are frequently connected as replies neglecting the responded video meaning, but this is broadly accepted and doesn't impede communication.
