Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 4 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 161 interactions against 524K followers, an engagement rate of 0.031%. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 1.03% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.97% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.17 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 26K interactions, about 159x its own typical post. Only 4 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 15:00 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.

I’m sorry, but pulling this obvious little stunt against J.D. Vance, whose wife just gave birth, when Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen in weeks is absolutely absurd. What are we even doing here. https://t.co/zGXSfTG5jq

You published an article attacking J.D. Vance for being “AWOL” because he went to a meeting with House Republicans on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, and the whole article was based on a single quote from one butthurt anonymous senator who had nothing to do with the meeting anyway, and now you’re acting like a victim because everyone saw through the stupid little op and called you out for it. Like I said originally: it’s all so tiresome.
