The population segment most active on Twitter is the Millennial, young people between 18 and 34, who represent 63.6 % of the total population of Twitter.

Therefore, we can conclude that Twitter is an established and stable social network, which has a loyal base of followers who will be here over time.
Furthermore, these users do not only act on this platform according to their interests, but also interact with advertising on Twitter, whose ads they don’t tend to consider intrusive, unlike what happens in Facebook.
