    1. @nightwillow I know that there have been a few attempts to gather data, but it's all been flawed because it's been done as anonymous internet-based surveys that only really circulated some corners of the fandom itself.

      1. @scribuskrueger well the wikipedia page says that it is currently at 4 million views/month, so I'll go with that.

        1. @nightwillow Sounds good. Wonder what the stream viewers amount to? Nielson doesn't count them.

          1. @scribuskrueger well I'm using this for an essay on Bronies. I am also going to cite view counts on Youtube videos. can you help me find the really popular videos of Episode 1? they seem to all be gone

            1. @nightwillow I think they may have been part of what got taken down in one of the faux-Hasbro attacks.

              1. @scribuskrueger yeah, that's what I thought. now, the most popular vid for Ep1 is only in the 100k range for view count. ugh

                1. @nightwillow Did you see @ponydude2143 's link recently? That might have useful numbers.

                  1. @scribuskrueger the philly meetup thing? don't see how that helps

                    1. @nightwillow Nah, this one: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/combined-season-one-viewcount.html?m=1 Though, it's from September '11 so it might be missing the big old Episode 1 counts...

                      1. @scribuskrueger @ponydude2143 thanks. that's a great statistic to use! got a pretty good rough draft.

    2. @ponydude2143 I remember Basil's stream had over 1,000 viewers for the finale last season.

    3. @ponydude2143 Yeah, I don't know if/how they could have data for the streams. Impressive work someone put into the channel numbers, though.
