Posting timing
This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Sunday 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 | 63% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 26% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 63% 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.
- 26% 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 224 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

how do you guys talk to your computer if you’re in an open office environment? it feels weird & socially awkward to do so for me, is there special equipment ppl have for this? i cannot voice dictate anything in the office esp since it sounds cringe. when i’m home alone, it’s amazing & i just go absolutely ham & say anything / everything that comes to my mind.

Please watch this - Nathan and David couldn't agree about Elizabeth Holmes lying or being genuine- so they turned this confusion into the central thesis of YCSE neither could the cast. I think Elizabeth has an ultra focused RDF that only works 1:1 via eye contact. And in the movie we're all seeing the effects of this causing a dissonance between those affected and those who aren't. https://t.co/cbxiZFru8m

Hey @bot, this is not cool. Grok Bot just connected to my @XMoney account without me asking, and the revoke access button on the pop-up didn't even work. I had to dig through settings to remove it myself. https://t.co/YsrxQiJYjm
