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 185 interactions against 1.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.01%. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 1.65% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.585% 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 14:00 UTC, and Friday 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 71K interactions, about 384x 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. 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 156,282 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 25,969 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 Friday 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 video100% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link0% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 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 1533 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.

    2016 trend? How about *2006* trend? 20 years ago, I founded Hot Air, the first conservative Internet daily broadcast website. Self-funded. Fiercely independent. 3-minute Adobe Flash video segments taped in my basement would take all night long to render. The first Iphone wouldn't be released until 14 months after we launched. Yes, too ahead of its time. Such is my fate...

    You can trust my 30-year track record on immigration and criminal alien crime spree reporting. AND you can trust my 10-year record of investigative reporting on the Oklahoma criminal justice system. What @libsoftiktok and the conservative social media mob are telling you about Okie judges and Kufi Asare is wrong. This is a FEDERAL sovereignty problem, not a "liberal judge" problem--and FEDERAL laws governing admissibility and deportability of both illegal AND legal aliens have long been on the books to fix it. P.S. When is @DHSgov gonna give us the full story on how Asare got here and stayed here? #Corruptahoma #OpenBordersInc
