To close out the year, let's take a quick look at the YouTube channels linked by the banned Internet Research Agency accounts. There are a total of 51790 tweets in English containing YouTube videos in the dataset provided by Twitter.

When one looks solely at the number of tweets linking to each YouTube channel, the situation looks relatively benign: a lot of music-related sites with a few mainstream news sources thrown in for good measure. Looking at amplification tells a different story, however. . .
The set of channels the IRA chose to retweet others tweets of is more interesting. A variety of far-right YouTube channels (such as @PrisonPlanet/Paul Joseph Watson's) as well as a couple of the official RT channels make the list of frequent fliers.
Finally, here are the YouTube channels the banned IRA trolls were most effective at amplifying (as measured by retweets of the banned trolls' tweets). Project Veritas tops the list; pro-Assad ex-Infowars employee @PartisanGirl's SyriangirlPartisan is also interesting.
