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.
