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:
The Giants were reported to have signed arguably the 2 best free agents on the market. They ended up with neither. You cannot make this stuff up.
Good morning to Brandon Crawford, Giants shortstop
If the Giants land Judge they could play an all hometown outfield of Aaron Judge, Mitch Haniger, and Joc Pederson
this weekend I thought the Giants would sign Aaron Judge and Barry Bonds would be in the Hall of Fame The lesson, as always: never have optimism. never have hope. never think good things will happen.
Who here is looking forward to the Giants finishing second for Shohei Ohtani next year?
