Early reading. We have captured 6 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 1.2K interactions against 390K followers, an engagement rate of 0.304%. Posts are seen about 65K times each, and 1.83% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 16.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 26K interactions, about 22x its own typical post. Only 6 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 66,536 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 56,995 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 08:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects

  • 50% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 179 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    This is an outright lie from @SkyNews. They hounded my daughter at home, just days after The Times published where my family live. Despicable behaviour from the media. https://t.co/cNfZ6Rmzb4

    Meet Count Bin Face . This isn't some amateur having a giggle . This is an accredited BBC comedy writer who's anti brexit and wants to rejoin the EU according to reports. Clacton votes 70% to Leave The EU . Kemi seems very supportive of BinFace. Kemi along with others are ignoring this very relevant by election, 12,800 people voted Tory in Clacton in 2024, they're probably Brexiteers . Just dumped and ignored by their own party and a leader happy to mock the election 🤦. They say they'll stand in the next one 🧐 but that's presuming Farage is found guilty .. As yet he's under investigation, so innocent until proven guilty . Any one smell kangaroo droppings?

    Reform'ssacking of Dan Jukes and James Orr has been quite clever as it's diverted most of the media attention onto what the two advisers said on the C4News film, and diverted people from how Farage was deeply implicated by the video as well. The BBC fell for this especially.

    I think Nigel Farage calling these close allies “contractors” may prove a huge political mistake. Dan Jukes in particular will know a lot of insider things and he has been left with nowhere to go.

    One thing in Nigel Farage’s speech really resonated with me. We indeed do not have enough people in politics who have been given £5m gifts by other people. This experience would be so valuable to good government if only it were more widely shared.

    Was there anything that Dan Jukes and James Orr knew and gave assent to that Nigel Farage did not know and give assent to?

What is Daniel Finkelstein's engagement rate on X?
Daniel Finkelstein (@Dannythefink) has an engagement rate of 0.304%, based on the median interactions across 6 original posts from the last 30 days against 389,741 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
