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 54 interactions against 510K followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Posts are seen about 12K times each, and 0.456% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.34% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 50% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.5K interactions, about 158x 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 205,374 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,897 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 04:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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: 04:00 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
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.
  • 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 171 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.

    And yes. I stand by my comment that the trade deals being announced are largely garbage because they are so uncertain with no mechanisms for enforcement or even any idea of how to make them happen

    tonight @ScottJenningsKY sank to disingenuously playing with facts when he threw my April recession comments at me. When I made them @realDonaldTrump had imposed 130% tariffs on China. Today’s 15-20% tariff rates are bad but manageable. Sad Scott Sad you sank to that

    These trade deals: no process, no monitoring, no enforcement, no direction on how they will be implemented, etc. Frameworks are fine if there is a realistic chance that they will come to fruition. In five years time, let’s see how much of these deals have actually happened.

    Precisely how did Canada’s ad misrepresent Reagan’s views on tariffs. Someone tell me please. Reagan’s 1987 radio address and subsequent actions show he was a free trader who used tariffs surgically. I can’t see the ‘fake’ or misrepresentation.

    Remember the quote by John Maynard Keynes “ when the fact change, I change my mind; why, sir, What do you do?” April Tarrifs 130%. July’s Tariffs 15%. Er…. @ScottJenningsKY if you can’t see the difference, shame.

    This from @business “key details are scant for those who have (trade deals) — including potential exemptions, investment promises and potential changes to rules of origin. For @realDonaldTrump it’s all about the headline number around 15%. Which gives an av 17% tariff - the highest since Smoot Hawley in 1930

    When did it become completely socially acceptable to sit and watch videos or have video calls with the speaker on instead of headphones. Everyone seems to be doing it now. At least 4 people guilty here in the business lounge at BCN

    I cannot recall any time when Fed and White House are at such brutal loggerheads. Just because we keep saying this is unprecedented should not diminish the significance and gravity of the situation.
