Why Audience Demographics Matter

Understanding who follows an account reveals the type of influence they hold. Accounts followed primarily by users with few followers indicate broad, mainstream appeal. Those with many high-follower followers have greater potential for content amplification through secondary sharing.

Account age distribution also tells a story: a follower base with many new accounts might indicate recent viral growth, while established followers suggest long-term, stable influence. Geographic data helps understand the cultural context and timezone spread of the audience.

Indeed; there are 3 kinds of surgeons: surgeons who operate and thus unfortunately experience complications, surgeons who do not operate so do not suffer complications, and surgeons who may not be completely honest https://t.co/N8UyBichcN

As I have previously stated on @Twitter there are 3 kinds of surgeons- surgeons who operate and therefore unfortunately experience complications, surgeons who don’t operate so can’t have complications, and disingenuous surgeons. https://t.co/ag6eJOSTmh
