This study covers the influence of positive and negative titles of YouTube videos on user behavior regarding views, likes, dislikes and comments. For this purpose, daily records of the top trending YouTube videos in Germany were analyzed. It was found that positive terms have positive influence on liking and viewing trend videos. Negative terms have influence on disliking and commenting. Furthermore, it was examined which words were used most frequently in successful and not so successful trend videos. This study shows that YouTube is being utilized for the consumption of entertainment series, music videos and sports content. In addition, videos with Turkish titles make up a significant part of the best placed YouTube videos in Germany. These results were obtained via chi-squared tests and word clouds.
