“The pilot survey for KnowYour Meme yielded less than 100 participants, but the current survey had over 3,700. It can be assumedthat the results may be more indicative of those who frequent Equestria Daily (specifically those whoread the Nightly Roundups) and not of those in the community. Furthermore, it should be taken into account that as a part of Internet culture, many of these findings from the sample could be similar to those who are also a part of Internet culture, but do not identify as bronies, and may not be indicative of only the brony community. However, the authors believe the data is accurate for the survey.”
