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 117 interactions against 318K followers, an engagement rate of 0.039%. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 1.11% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.32% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.43 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 5 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.7K interactions, about 14x 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 204,956 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday 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: 00:00 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
Outbound link0% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length--3%-3% to -2%54K
  • 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 124 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below 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.

    congrats to the Cursor founders and team on the $60B acquisition to SpaceX this is one of those moments where I’m both genuinely excited for the team and kicking myself lol we were around the edges of Cursor in a bunch of ways, but I didn’t do enough to earn the chance to work with the founders directly it's still been cool to see the Z Fellows network show up around the company: the President of Cursor did Z Fellows I invested in the the COO of Cursor's pervious company Cursor acquired a Z Fellows alum company in an all stock (great) acquisition we were introduced to the founder of Cursor by the founder of Etched (Z Fellows alum) big L on my part that we didn't get a chance to work with the Cursor founders but excited for them, the team, and what's next :)

    Robert Wachen (@robertwachen) dropped out of Harvard at 21 with $10,000 in a bank account. Three years later Etched has raised $1B+, is valued over $10B, and has signed $1B+ in customer contracts. He's 24. His explanation for why it worked: "We were absolutely not the best people in the world to solve this. We were the only people willing to." More below in this talk he gave to hundreds of interns.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 117 interactions against 318K followers, an engagement rate of 0.039%. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 1.11% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.32% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.43 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 5 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.7K interactions, about 14x 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.

What is Cory Levy's engagement rate on X?
Cory Levy (@cory) has an engagement rate of 0.039%, based on the median interactions across 5 original posts from the last 30 days against 318,238 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.039%, Cory Levy sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,956 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.
Does @cory have real engagement?
There is not yet enough sample to rank this account against others of its size.
When does @cory post?
Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.43 posts per day across the measured window.

Keep going
