A typical post picks up 8.8K interactions against 12M followers, an engagement rate of 0.076%. Posts are seen about 285K times each, and 3.08% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.47% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 41 posts sampled, 12% carry an image or video and 10% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 279K interactions, about 32x its own typical post.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,424 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,888 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 16:00 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.

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: 16:00 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
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 12% 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.
  • 10% 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 410 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above 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.

    If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability. It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change. I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

    31 out of 32 NFL owners are billionaires. 26 out of 30 NBA owners are billionaires. 26 out of 30 MLB owners are billionaires. Your tax dollars helped build their stadiums. But today, the average person canโ€™t afford the price of a ticket to a sporting event. That must change.

    Last year, Jeff Bezos sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring while his real tax rate was less than 1%. Under my 5% billionaire wealth tax, Mr. Bezos would owe $12.7 billion & still have $240 billion left over.

    Dolly Parton was one of the great entertainers of our era. She was not only a talented musician & songwriter, but a lifelong philanthropist and advocate for literacy, education, LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare and disaster relief. Her music and humanity touched millions. She will be sorely missed.

    Last night, Donald Trump, our pathological liar-in-chief, said: โ€œEvery single promise I made to you as a candidate, Iโ€™ve delivered on. Iโ€™ve delivered on everything.โ€ Really? Well, letโ€™s go down the list. Since becoming president again, Trump promised: โœ… $5,000 DOGE dividend checks. A lie. โœ… $2,000 tariff dividend checks. A lie. โœ… $1,000+ checks by repealing ACA subsidies. A lie. โœ… A 10% cap on credit card interest rates. A lie. โœ… โ€œThe lowest drug prices in the world.โ€ A lie. โœ… $2 a gallon gas. A lie. โœ… An end to inflation โ€œstarting on Day One.โ€ A lie. โœ… An end to โ€œendless wars.โ€ A lie. And now, after all of those lies, Trump wants you to believe that he will give every American adult a $5,000 check - but only if the Republicans win the midterms. No. I donโ€™t think so. The Trump Administration is not about helping working families. Itโ€™s about giving a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 1% and throwing 15 million Americans off the health care they have. https://t.co/fRn9DVCbux
