Early reading. We have captured 5 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 2.2K interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.182%. Posts are seen about 72K times each, and 3.03% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.01% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.27 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 5 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 20% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 18K interactions, about 8.5x its own typical post. Only 5 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 212,925 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,436 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 01:00 UTC, and Monday 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: 01:00 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 video100% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 100% 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.
  • 0% 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 262 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.

    Elon Musk on why tunnels became reality: “Everyone thought it was a joke. We made it a company” The idea behind The Boring Company is actually simple physics and geometry: Cities are becoming vertically 3D with massive skyscrapers and dense urban centers, yet transportation systems are still mostly trapped in 2D surface streets That mismatch creates unavoidable congestion A fully 3D transport network with tunnels running beneath cities could theoretically scale to almost any traffic level while dramatically reducing surface congestion Elon says there’s still enormous opportunity in tunneling and surprisingly only few companies taking it seriously

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 2.2K interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.182%. Posts are seen about 72K times each, and 3.03% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

Posting runs at about 0.27 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 5 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 20% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 18K interactions, about 8.5x its own typical post.

Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.182%, The Boring Company sits above the 50th percentile of the 212,925 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
