The answer to the lack of information on the real size of an audience isn't to base it on social media. It's to accept you have no idea how big or small the audience is.

> How do you think Infinity Train got a chance at a full series?Other pilots with a lot less people campaigning on the internet got full series. The reason pilots are made is so that a network team can decide if they want to produce more. Most pilots aren't public in the first place. There are tons of metrics this is based on. Demonstrated interest is obviously one of them but you or I have no real access to any real statistics on interest besides the youtube views on the pilot.
The networks themselves obviously know something that isn't demonstrated by twitter or /co/ when they decide to spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars creating a new season of It's Pony. They wouldn't do that if it wasn't popular.
