Brony population

[SXCJ40 125]

equestria daily gets over 2 000 000 page views every 2 days, and many fans of the show don't look at equestriadaily very often

While it sounds reasonable, you did not account for the town-to-town differences between many places. Your school might be skewed for, while the number is actually much smaller. But it might be that you are in a bad situation and there are far more.

 

Actually, I believe that the city I live in is fairly typical. Kansas City, MO has about 450,000 people. Also, the school I go to has 1100 students.

I would say city vs the country is already a good example. The city folk will be more into technology and thus have chance of being on the internet then the people in the country.

[Proailurus 214]

I knew it was a lot but wow...

Also, I looked up "shipping" on YouTube and one about MLP FiM was the first one, lol

DAng.... That's a lot of people...

[Fghik 360]

Arm yourselves.
In three years the internet will divide. Ponies vs AntiPonies.
Expect many casualties.
We will fight the real way. The good way. The only way. With swords; fists; and gentlemanly gloves, monocles, and tophats.

Bring it on AntiPonies. BRING IT ON.

[Jokuc 8,174]

**Types "winter" in the youtube search box** wow! It's.. Wonderful :')

[Starswirl the Trixie 975]

I got on a computer that I have never done anything pony on, went to Youtube, and tested.

 

Winter Wrap Up is truly the top result for "wint-". Huzzah!

 

Sadly, I have yet to find Bronies among my friends. People don't even know what a Brony is; once, someone took my iPhone when I wasn't looking. They began to look through my internet history, and then loudly announced that I was looking at pages entitled "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". I quickly got my phone back, dismissing the ponies with "Someone told me to look at that."

 

Out of the 6ish people who were around me, only one seemed to have even heard of our fanbase, and he only knew it because a science instructor had shown him the "Physical impossibilities of MLP" video.

 

If I don't want to wear a pony shirt in public, any advice to finding Bronies?

[Ezynell 2,037]

Type in "Manliest" then after that, search "Manliest song ever"

Wear a pony shirt in public!

 

But, seriously, take some risks. I'm lucky enough to have fairly open-minded friends that really know what I'm normally into (martial arts, shred guitar, dark aesthetic, etc.), and they know when I'm really being serious about something. All it took for me to convince some of my friends is to get them to watch the Discord episodes. Being Star Trek fans, they loved the fact that Q was in it and had to know more about this crazy show we all love.

 

But yeah, take risks; it's the only way to discover your next brony friend, but please don't blame me if it all crashes down!

[Kraznor 33]

According to Wikipedia, the monthly viewership was at 4 million by the end of season 1. And that is only via conventional broadcasts and stuff Hasbro has tabs on (so no YouTube, torrents, or livestreams). I myself have only been in on this for just over three weeks, and I've talked to friends who say they have siblings/other friends who are also into the show, so it seems to have spread really quickly over the last 15 months.

 

Really though, the answer is: not big enough. This show deserves everyone's attention. Not saying be pushy about it, but I'd advise against hiding it as well.

[Spark 101]

Well, a couple weeks ago, I turned one of my friends into a brony. I suspect that this has been happening with many of us, and with the size of the brony community, the growth of bronies must be amazing.In fact, I'm surprised i only found out about it through the internet on accident.

[I used to be a stranger 7,994]

My high estimate would be 1.5 million globally.

About 50% of such are the vocal group that declare themselves bronies, while the other 50% are much quieter about it. Less than 25% of it are interested in clop-etc. grimdark, violence or other deviant interests within the brony purview.

 

My esitmate would be 3-5 million for actual viewership of the show in the capacity it was designed for eg: little girls. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that there are probably in the realm of 750,000 parents who watch the show as a consequence, who may or may not also be bronies themselves.

[JhonHipster 124]

bronys are a major force of the internet, i suspect there are about 500,000 bronys worldwide, ive already explained in great detail how ive gotten that number many times before so im not going to explain it again

[Marcusaralius76 150]

There are a LOT of them. well over a million. Possibly 2.

[Ethereal 32]

hmm. imma ask the all knowing google.

me: hey google, how many bronies are there?

google: hmmm, at least 20 000.

[Nordica 180]

This is a very hard question, thus I felt the need to ask someone I could trust. Someone that would know the answer to every question..

 

So I asked Santa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dayum! So few. We must be a very active bunch!

[Bendy 1,821]

How many bronies are there? I'd guess a few million, but what do you think?

 

Also how fast do you think are fandom is growing and how big do you think it would become?

 

 

 

Note: Couldn't find a thread here talking about this using search.

[Veiled Enigma 389]

I would guess a couple hundred thousand, one million at most.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Does it matter? I personally think that we shouldn't grow much more, so many people ruins the novelty of being that standalone who watches a show for little girls. I've heard some "veteran" bronies claim that it you became a brony in 2012the, you hardly count as a brony, more of a follower. Personally, don't know, din't care. I have my brony forums witha great community, my brony griends,my brony video game servers, my brony art and music, and that's enough for me

Those bronies, my good man, are what we call "Hipsters".
