Early reading. We have captured 2 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 1.5K interactions against 5.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.025%. Posts are seen about 445K times each, and 0.337% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.49% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.07 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% 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 2 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 37K interactions, about 25x its own typical post. Only 2 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 204,491 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 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 video100% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link100% 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.
  • 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 109 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.

    17 years. Hard to believe. For nearly two decades, so many of you have been on this journey with me. You’ve watched, supported, traveled across the world to meet me, shared your stories with me and continued to show up year after year. I’ve never taken that for granted. So I wanted to create something truly special for you. You’ve ask me for years. So here it is. 🙏 Introducing the only official limited-edition Daylight Ring collectible — created for you guys as something you can wear, keep, and hopefully have for years to come. And because I wanted this to truly be something from me to you, I’ll be personally hand-signing every collector box ordered. Every single one. This collection is only available for three weeks, and once it closes, it’s gone. Limited quantities available. Get yours now at the link in my bio or at https://t.co/tv8H7aITWU To everyone who has been with me from the beginning — and everyone who joined somewhere along the way — thank you. This one's for you. With love and gratitude, Ian
