A typical post picks up 16 interactions against 43K followers, an engagement rate of 0.037%. Posts are seen about 2.8K times each, and 0.579% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.36% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 27 posts sampled, 63% carry an image or video, 41% are part of a thread and 26% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.8K interactions, about 359x its own typical post.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 217,635 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 21,696 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Sunday 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: 18:00 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
Image or video63% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link26% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 63% 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.
  • 26% 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 224 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

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.

    how do you guys talk to your computer if you’re in an open office environment? it feels weird & socially awkward to do so for me, is there special equipment ppl have for this? i cannot voice dictate anything in the office esp since it sounds cringe. when i’m home alone, it’s amazing & i just go absolutely ham & say anything / everything that comes to my mind.

    Please watch this - Nathan and David couldn't agree about Elizabeth Holmes lying or being genuine- so they turned this confusion into the central thesis of YCSE neither could the cast. I think Elizabeth has an ultra focused RDF that only works 1:1 via eye contact. And in the movie we're all seeing the effects of this causing a dissonance between those affected and those who aren't. https://t.co/cbxiZFru8m
