Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,261 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 14:00 UTC, and Saturday 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: 14:00 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 video50% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link13% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 50% 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.
  • 13% 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 302 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.

    What is this "banana ball" Ben Johnson is talking about? Look at the angle Tory Taylor strikes this punt. It starts outside towards the sideline, but then comes all the way back inside the hashes. Hard to track, especially with this kind of hang time. Huge play. https://t.co/X5CCeOJqea

    Lane Kiffin continues to make a strong case against the SEC's move to nine conference games. More losses, more beat-up teams and less roster depth in the transfer portal era. His biggest point? SEC teams are being punished in the rankings for playing tougher schedules. Hard to argue with him on this one.

    Tesla Cybercabs are all over Austin right now. Two years ago they showed this on a closed track. Most people called it vaporware. Today they're on every corner in downtown Austin. No steering wheel. No pedals. No human behind the wheel. The car sees through cameras. AI makes every decision. Mass production is underway. September 3, 2026. The first day fully autonomous vehicles launched in a city without a steering wheel, without manual controls, driven entirely by neural networks running on camera data alone. @Tesla @elonmusk
