Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 1 original post 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 149 interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Posts are seen about 37K times each, and 0.407% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.20% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.53 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 9.9x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nivea, #grammys, #maskedsingersa. Only 1 original post 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -8% | -9% to -7% | 41K |
- 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 65 characters, which falls in the under 80 characters band. Across the catalog, posts under 80 characters run 8% 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.

Shoutout to heterosexual men who are genuinely comfortable in their sexuality. Men who can exist around gay men without treating homosexuality like it’s contagious, or thinking that being seen with us somehow puts their own sexuality up for debate. And I think that’s part of what I want Awkward Dates to normalize: heterosexual men and homosexual men existing in the same space without either person having to perform a role. The gay guy doesn’t have to become the “gay bestie,” the handbag or the entertainment. And the straight guy doesn’t have to become defensive, hypermasculine or immediately assume, “he wants me.” Sometimes two men with different sexualities can literally just… vibe. Laugh. Talk shit. Respect each other. Exist. Because being comfortable around a gay man doesn’t make a straight man less straight. And being gay doesn’t mean we want every straight man we meet. Please. We have types too. 😭😂❤️

This is nothing to be ashamed of. Life is about peaks & troughs. If anything, you’re smart for knowing when to adjust before life forces you to. All the best!

I cannot put into words how I feel right now. 🥹❤️ Firstly, THANK YOU Vuyo Biyela for being sooooo COOL! You don’t understand what you’ve done, not just for me, but for a conversation I believe this country needed to see. THIS is why I created #AwkwardDatesZA . To entertain, yes. To make you laugh, absolutely. But also to create moments that challenge how we see each other and show that sometimes… we really can just coexist. And the response? INSANE. 130k views in the FIRST 24 Hours. YouTube records broken. 100k views per day (4 days later) But beyond the numbers, it’s the conversations that have moved me the most. (Swipe through this post and see for yourself.) This is bigger than a viral episode for me. This is impact. NOW THIS IS AWKWARD DATES! ❤️🔥

Going forward, I think award ceremonies should seriously consider one simple rule: no show, no award. If the recognition matters, showing up to receive it should matter too. #SAMA32

Minister @GaytonMcK, we need to have a serious conversation about the state of South Africa’s arts and entertainment industry. What is happening? Our award shows are declining. The entertainment value is declining. Corporate investment seems to be disappearing. And yet South Africa has EVERYTHING it needs to produce world-class entertainment! Haibo we have the talent, creatives, performers, producers, technical skills and technology. We were supposed to be building an industry capable of becoming Africa’s Hollywood and competing on the global stage. As someone in the entertainment industry who grew up watching the SAMAs, it’s genuinely disappointing to see where we are today. With the amount of talent in this country, there is simply no reason our biggest productions shouldn’t look and feel world-class. So where is the investment? Have corporates stopped believing in the industry? Is funding not reaching the people actually creating the work? Where is the money going? I don’t think we’ve hit rock bottom, but this should be our turning point. Minister, we need you to step up. Bring government, broadcasters, corporates, artists, producers and creatives to the same table and figure out how we rebuild this industry. Because the talent is here. The skills are here. The ideas are here. We need the industry to match them. And at this point, please establish a Malanga Commission of Inquiry into the entertainment industry because haibo 😭😭😭 something is not connecting. #SAMA32

Guess who’s on Awkward Dates tomorrow? (Hint: he’s always fighting and shouting on some podcast. He knows a lot about the music industry in South Africa and when he was 4 years old he told his mom not to vote for Nelson Mandela ) https://t.co/cSS5J57FSE
