Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 3 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 823 interactions against 446K followers, an engagement rate of 0.184%. Posts are seen about 259K times each, and 0.318% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 57.9% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.13 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 3 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 254K interactions, about 308x its own typical post. Only 3 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

Been watching the entire World Cup. I'm confused. Why was no VAR used twice on the England/Ghana match. Goalie tackle and the Ghana near breakaway late 70s minute. Help?

Daniel Naroditsky would have turned 30 today. It's been 3 weeks since his passing and I still cannot believe that this is the new reality. Every day I wake up with mixed emotions, sometimes more sad, sometimes more angry. I'm not a performative influencer and generally would keep these things to myself, but this whole situation feels so awful. He impacted the lives of so many people, both online and offline. He had such a bright future ahead of him. I hope we the people of the chess world never forget everything that made him exactly who he was. I truly think that there will never again be a person with such eclectic, high-level skill, mixed with wit, humor, and a sophistication most of us can only dream of having. Call your parents. See your friends. Stay strong.
