Additionally, the popularity of the videos was evaluated using the Video Power Index. Upload sources were categorized as academic institutions and individual users.
Results: Group 1 (low and medium quality videos) had 234 (70.9%) videos and group 2 (good and excellent quality videos) had 96 (20.1%) videos. The average views, likes, and comments in group 1 were 20589±23552 , 86±113 , and 28±31, respectively, while in group 2, they were 25571±24541 , 174±198 , and 49±42 , respectively. When the two groups were compared, no correlation was found between the length and quality of the videos.There was no difference between the groups in terms of the number of dislikes Additionally, the VPI values in group 2 were statistically higher than those in group 1 (p = 0.003).
