Early reading. We have captured 7 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 1.4K interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.129%. Posts are seen about 71K times each, and 1.98% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.52% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.77 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 57% carry an image or video and 29% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 39K interactions, about 28x its own typical post. Only 7 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 37,701 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 104,204 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 20:00 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.

    Russell Westbrook getting Michael B Jordan to narrate his retirement video is such a flex. Also a flex: being a first-ballot Hall of Famer who did it 100% his way, for 18(!) years. Russ's approach didn't sit well with everyone - but it was always genuine. After all, Why Not? https://t.co/foVWSmLtNN

    The Warriors decided not to trade for Jaylen Brown because they felt he wouldn’t be able to carry the franchise after Steph Curry retires, per @loganmmurdock “Should they have gotten in on the Jaylen Brown sweepstakes? The Warriors had an opportunity to trade for the former Celtic before the deadline in February, but couldn’t build an organizational consensus that Brown would be the right player to carry the Warriors beyond the Curry era.” (Via https://t.co/BDyLWUZLRB)

    Giannis responds to people who say he should’ve married a model: “I’ve heard so many things. ‘Why is Giannis with this wife? He could be with a model. Not one model but ten!’ But I am with my wife because she tells me the truth. She loves me, she will tell me whenever I do anything wrong. She will tell my kids the truth. I know that she will kill for my kids and she would even kill me for them. I know that she won’t let my kids get a big head, and that’s the most important thing for me. I am in love. I am in love with her. As a woman and as a mother.” (Via Anesteathepodcast) ❀

    Can it really be ring-chasing if you already have four rings?? Or if you joining the team is *the reason* they become a title contender? As we heard from LeBron after the Olympics, what he’s actually chasing is the chance to play for big-time stakes again. https://t.co/Tc0RTeqs0z
