Early reading. We have captured 1 original post 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 18 interactions against 434K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Posts are seen about 3.7K times each, and 0.486% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.853% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 346 interactions, about 19x its own typical post. Only 1 original post 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 41,462 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 89,920 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    I asked @thebradmontague about his creative process. He gave me a soundtrack I still use. He said, “I ask, ‘Am I creating FOR love or FROM love?’ FOR love means I want adoration and the work will be empty. FROM love means I’m creating out of overflow and the work will be full.”
