Abstract

This dataset contains 32 screenshot-based artifacts captured from the X/Twitter account @Awk2000 (Yeet), documenting its function as a secondary citation and attention-routing node within contemporary livestream commentary ecosystems. The archived posts reference and embed livestream clips, social media posts, and media segments involving gaming creators, streamers, influencers, and public figures. The screenshots preserve platform interface context, timestamps, engagement metrics, and embedded media as encountered at the time of observation. Screenshots were used intentionally to mitigate the volatility of platform-native content, including deletion, modification, algorithmic suppression, and loss of interface affordances that are not retained in text-only captures. The dataset is descriptive and archival in nature. It does not evaluate the accuracy, intent, or ideological orientation of the referenced content, nor does it assert causal influence. The artifacts are provided to support digital ethnography, platform studies, media archaeology, and research on secondary citation dynamics, reactability, and attention routing in livestream and influencer-driven media environments.
