I could go through each post, look at the tags and who shared it, then sum all the followers for both. So technically, yes, but it would take so long, no significant number of data could ve taken in a time frame small enough that it wouldn't change pretty significantly while I did the sum. Nor would I know how to account for overlap. I'm sure there is some sort of code that could do it, basically a web crawler, which are used on lots of social networks, but I couldn't make one.
