According to a study by researchers at MIT, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon and The University of Southampton entitled 'Who Gives a Tweet?',  merely 36% of Tweets are appreciated by followers. Participants of the study rated a total of 43,738 tweets posted by 2,014 users, and only liked 36% of all the tweets they rated. Meanwhile, they did not like 25% of them and gave the other 39% a 'neutral rating'.
