My Africa Brings you all the scenes you really want to watch! Newsworthy, interesting and the funny parts MINUS the boring rest of a long Parliament sitting. Parliament “To represent the people, and to ensure government by the people in fulfilling our constitutional functions of passing laws and overseeing executive action”. The Constitution affords all South Africans the right to see and hear what happens in Parliament. For the last 7 years and for the benefit of subscribers and the community “My Africa” search for sequences that are newsworthy, interesting, funny etc. From a, sometimes long and boring, Parliament sitting allowing the community the opportunity to choose which sequence they find interesting and want to watch. As a result “My Africa” adds significant value to those effected by the exceptionally high cost of Data and Pay TV. Also “My Africa” allows the community to comment and contribute to discussions in a meaningful manner and take the stories and the debate forward.

How We Collect Data of Travel YouTube influencers in South Africa

We use an advanced automated system to collect YouTube influencer profiles by regularly monitoring the YouTube database. Our system identifies the profiles of South Africa-based YouTube influencers within the travel niche by focusing on the following key metrics:

  • Relevance to travel: Our system analyzes each influencer's username, bio, and posts to confirm that their content is related to the travel niche.

  • Location Verification: Our system checks for the inclusion of city or country names in profiles, and where necessary, we analyze flags, localized posts and profile bio data to confirm the influencer's location in South Africa.

  • Public Profiles Only: We exclude private profiles, even if they are South Africa-based and publish travel-related content. Our system only extracts the public profiles of influencers.

  • Sufficient Number of Posts: Our system picks the influencer accounts that have a consistent history of posts. It proves that the influencer is active and engaged in their content.

  • Minimum Follower Count: Our system prioritizes South Africa-based travel influencers with a minimum of 5,000 followers.

By analyzing these key statistics, our system automatically identifies the most relevant travel influencers located in South Africa, extracts the data, and adds it to our database. The information is then processed, verified, and classified to ensure accuracy and relevance.

How Our Algorithm Identifies Travel YouTube Influencers in South Africa

Heepsy uses an Al-powered algorithm to identify the most relevant travel YouTube influencers in South Africa.

Identifying Influencer Location in South Africa:

  • Profile Location Information: First, we check if the influencers profile explicitly mentions city or country. If the profile contains certain specific cities from South Africa, or any other reference to South Africa, we automatically mark the profile as South Africa-based.

  • Bio and Content Analysis: If no explicit location is mentioned, our system scans the influencer's bio for any references to South Africa, such as cultural symbols, language spoken within South Africa, or location- specific hashtags that could indicate the influencer's connection to South Africa.

  • Use of Flags and Emblems: In cases when the influencer doesn't mention a specific city or region, we look for flags in the bio that indicates South Africa or any related symbols suggesting origin from South Africa.

  • Localized Content: We analyze the influencer's content for any localized posts that show landmarks from South Africa, events, or local cultural references. This can help us identify their location and target audience within South Africa.

Identifying travel relevance:

  • Identifying Key Terms: We begin by searching for specific travel-related terms, such as 'travel' or any other industry terms in an influencer's name or bio.

  • Expanding with Synonyms and Variations: Our algorithm recognizes related terms within the industry and other travel specializations. We also account for variations, ensuring a comprehensive view of the influencer's expertise.

  • Multilingual Detection: To ensure a global reach, we use an Al-based multilingual sentence transformer to detect influencers in different languages, so we don't miss out on valuable travel voices around the world.

  • Strict Category Match: A profile qualifies for travel only when its name or bio contains a travel term, or when its content is classified in the travel category. A single loose word in a caption is not enough.

  • Ranking the Matches: Profiles that qualify are ranked by follower count: the category match decides who is on the list, and followers decide the order.

Only YouTube profiles that match the travel category and that we have identified as based in South Africa are eligible for this list.
