Computers in one of the network companies at PT. Estrada uses the Fortinet operating system. The final result expected through this implementation is to comprehensively see the capabilities of the firewall on Fortinet in overcoming the problem of blocking social media applications and streaming platforms during working hours. Blocking the application in question is the ability to filter web processes such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. In the tests carried out, web filtering was able to block applications on social media and streaming platforms, which proves that the performance of web filtering is quite good. In analyzing web filtering performance, use the office hour rule tool by carrying out the rule schedule in the Fortinet network and displaying all the information in detail. The final result obtained in the network application filtering simulation process using Fortinet is that every network sent cannot be entered (blocked) on both social media applications and streaming platforms.

This study aims to develop a sentiment classification method for YouTube user comments related to the game Love and Deepspace using the Naïve Bayes algorithm, focusing on improving the text data processing and understanding user perceptions. Comment data were collected through scraping from YouTube videos, followed by preprocessing including text cleaning, normalization, stopword removal, stemming, and translation into English. Initial labeling was conducted using TextBlob, then the data were randomly sampled for training the Naïve Bayes model. Evaluation involved comparing sentiment distributions and visualization using Word Cloud and bar charts. The Naïve Bayes model achieved an accuracy of 77.36% in sentiment classification. The sentiment distribution shows differences between TextBlob (positive: 1,011, neutral: 1,312, negative: 575) and Naïve Bayes (positive: 901, neutral: 1,627, negative: 370), with Naïve Bayes being more conservative. The Word Cloud visualization identifies dominant words such as "bang," "game," and "main," while the bar chart shows the largest proportion of neutral sentiment. Naïve Bayes is effective for sentiment classification on informal comment data, with significant differences from rule-based methods like TextBlob. This research contributes to the development of text data processing techniques and user perception analysis, as well as opening up optimization opportunities with other algorithms like SVM for better accuracy.

This research examines digital charity practices within Christian media communication on YouTube, focusing on two distinct donation formats: marapthon live stream donations (e.g., 24‑hour fundraising events) and sermon‑based donations (offerings collected during or after online worship services). Despite the rapid growth of faith‑based online giving, a critical problem remains: the absence of an integrated system that aligns these two donation models with Christian values of transparency, accountability, and community stewardship. Existing platforms often treat live marapthon and sermon donations separately, leading to fragmented donor experiences and inefficient fund utilization. Therefore, this study aims to develop a conceptual framework for an integrated digital charity system by comparatively analyzing media communication strategies in both donation contexts. The proposed method is a netnographic comparative analysis, involving systematic observation of YouTube comments, chat logs, and video descriptions from 10 Christian channels (5 marapthon‑focused, 5 sermon‑focused) over six months, supplemented by semi‑structured interviews with content creators and donors. The main findings reveal that marapthon donations emphasize urgency and real‑time social proof, while sermon donations rely on theological framing and pastoral trust. The synthesis proposes a hybrid system architecture incorporating real‑time donation tracking, automated acknowledgment, and weekly theological reflection modules. In conclusion, integrating both models into a single development framework enhances donor engagement and aligns digital charity with Christian communication ethics, offering practical guidelines for church‑based YouTubers and platform developers.

The rapid development of digital media, particularly YouTube, has encouraged personal branding practices among content creators in the gaming sector. This study analyzes how Tobias Justin constructs his personal branding through the Jess No Limit YouTube channel using Montoya's (2002) eight-component personal branding theory, namely specialization, leadership, personality, distinctiveness, visibility, unity, persistence, and goodwill. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, data were collected through online observation of 15 videos published between 2023 and 2025, digital documentation, and digital footprint analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's (1994) interactive model. Findings reveal that Tobias Justin's personal branding is built through consistent specialization in Mobile Legends gameplay, an authentic and humble personal narrative, a relaxed yet persuasive communication style, and sustained positive audience engagement. Audiences actively reinforce his image as a professional, inspiring figure, demonstrating that personal branding is a dialectical process involving creator presentation and collective audience validation. This study concludes that effective digital creator branding is shaped by value consistency, technical competence, and strategic audience relationship management, not mere popularity. Comparative research across gaming creators or platforms is recommended to extend generalizability.

This study aims to analyze the symbolic meaning of the mangulosi tradition in Toba Batak traditional wedding ceremonies using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected from visual media such as YouTube and TikTok, supported by informants familiar with Toba Batak culture. The findings reveal that meaning in the mangulosi tradition is constructed through three levels of signification: denotation, connotation, and myth. At the denotative level, mangulosi is understood as the act of giving ulos in a wedding ceremony. At the connotative level, ulos and the ritual process convey symbolic meanings such as blessings, protection, harmony, and the strengthening of social and kinship relationships. At the myth level, the tradition reinforces the cultural ideology that marriage is considered legitimate when it receives recognition and blessings from family and customary authorities. Quantitatively, the findings show that artifacts are dominated by visual connotative meanings (40%), while ritual actions emphasize non-verbal (30%) and verbal (20%) meanings. Therefore, the mangulosi tradition is not only a ceremonial practice but also a medium for preserving cultural identity and social values within the Toba Batak community.

This study aims to develop a storytelling-based learning media in the form of a YouTube video to support students’ understanding of narrative text based on their learning needs. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE model, focusing on the stages of analysis and development. The data were collected through a questionnaire as part of the needs analysis to identify students’ responses toward listening and repetition activities, as well as the difficulties they face in understanding narrative texts. The results show that students generally respond positively to listening and repetition. However, they still experience difficulties in understanding the storyline and vocabulary. The findings also indicate that students need learning support in the form of audio, visual elements, and vocabulary assistance. Based on these findings, a learning product was developed in the form of a YouTube-based digital storytelling video entitled “Learn Narrative Text Through Fun Storytelling (Listen, Repeat & Retell)”. The video integrates storytelling, repetition, vocabulary explanation, and speaking practice to support students’ comprehension. Due to time limitations, this study was limited to the development of a prototype and has not yet included expert validation. Therefore, future research is recommended to conduct validation to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed product.
