Comparative sentiment analysis on starbucks boycott related to Israel's genocide using svm, naïve bayes, and knn methods
Main Article Content
Abstract
The #BoycottStarbucks movement emerged in response to allegations of Starbucks' involvement in supporting the genocide carried out by Israel in Palestine. This research aims to analyze public sentiment towards Starbucks regarding its alleged involvement in the Israeli genocide. Data was collected through crawling English-language comments on a YouTube channel named Firstpost, which discussed the boycott of Starbucks. Three classification methods used were Naive Bayes, KNN, and SVM. The research findings indicate that the SVM model had the highest accuracy (82%) compared to Naive Bayes (75%) and KNN (56%). The distribution of sentiment in the comment data was dominated by neutral sentiment (44.5%), followed by positive sentiment (37.3%) and negative sentiment (18.2%). However, positive comments were also significant, indicating support or interest in the boycott movement. The hypotheses proposed supported the finding that public sentiment towards Starbucks tends to be negative and supportive of the boycott movement regarding its alleged involvement in the Israeli genocide. The research also concludes that various public opinions are reflected in neutral, positive, and negative comments, indicating that the boycott of Starbucks still attracts significant attention and discussion.
