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.

RT @MSF_uk: The UK govt's approach to migration is cruel and inhumane. The absence of safe routes and the criminalisation of people seeking safety force more people to risk their lives at sea – with devastating effects. RT or QT this to tell @SuellaBraverman we need safe routes
