Wouldn't that be skewed however, since the demographics of Twitter are going to skew as far away from ST veterans as possible?

I mean, 37% of Twitter users are between 18-29. That means Voyager ended when they were pre-teens. Enterprise -- with its rather small audience -- ended when many were at most teens. Of course there's going to be a sizable amount of first-timers in that universe, a lot of them hadn't gotten past Disney Channel yet the last time ST was a thing on TV.

Just seems like Twitter is too demographically skewed to draw conclusions from in terms of the audience overall.
