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.

Topical Analysis:
RT @tonyschwartz: "The US response will be studied for generations as a disastrous, failed effort. What's happened in Washington has been a fiasco of incredible proportions. We are witnessing one of the greatest failures of governance and basic leadership in modern times." https
RT @KevinMKruse: I'll say it again: When America was rocked with massive antiwar protests in the wake of the Kent State shooting in 1970, not only were protesters still allowed at the Lincoln Memorial, but President Nixon even made a late-night trip there to talk with them perso
RT @pbump: Alabama's governor declined to order a statewide shelter-in-place because the state is "not California." In terms of rate of growth and confirmed cases per population, it's worse. https://t.co/GleeoIvO5T
RT @DrIbram: “History is calling the future from the streets of protest. What choice will we make? What world will we create? What will we be? There are only two choices: racist or anti-racist.” My latest @TheAtlantic. https://t.co/s1xDTurhpS
RT @theferocity: I wrote an essay for @GQMagazine: “Sometimes, I can’t help but feel that our grief is all this country will let us own. And though I’d very much like to pass onto you something other than this ghostly pain, America, it’s all you deserve.” https://t.co/ZIEN486B
