i think like most things you can have data and try and work out what your remote audience wants but the truth is people change, adapt, get caught up in the distraction economy and end up into other things, life gets in the way, i'm happy if people still comment, people click to follow or even if they just lurk and say hello when i'm at an event -- sometimes just writing get's things off my chest, why not do it somewhere you can get a few cents! :)

i remember getting into twitter in 2006, really early days, like now a decade later with 10,000 followers, only 2/3000 engaged people but i get little traction there now, audiences change and move into other things but the data robot engines still use it to cross reference, brands too, especially when you want to be a brand advocate, being searchable across the web has benefits! :)
