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 130 interactions against 2.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Posts are seen about 72K times each, and 0.179% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.59% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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 258K interactions, about 232x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law. https://t.co/MsYeKrQeft

If you can’t see that Michael Jackson was a paedophile after watching @danreed1000 ‘s film you are being wilfully blind. And if you are campaigning against it you are actively colluding in the silencing of victims.

Last night, Israeli settlers attacked my house with stones, they came at 4 am to throw stones and make fire on my family land, chanting about the death of my brother, and wishing that I will die too or killed. Before that Israeli army came to make sure that I am alone in the house. It is the reality of the Israeli occupation and apartheid.

Sean Penn in the house! Or rather, me in Sean Penn’s house! The Hollywood acting legend and adventurer invited me up to his Malibu hideaway to talk Trump, Zelenskyy, Jack Nicholson, Madonna, punching photographers, jail time, smoking, and much more. It was a big thrill to do, only our second LTP “field interview” and our first in America. Watch or listen on Spotify!
