Early reading. We have captured 7 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 326 interactions against 423K followers, an engagement rate of 0.077%. Posts are seen about 17K times each, and 1.96% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.92% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.37 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 43% carry an image or video and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 179K interactions, about 548x its own typical post. Only 7 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 37,214 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,785 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 13:00 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.

    We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old. We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

    As I have reported several times and now acknowledged by the Governor of California...Gavin and his wife are under federal investigation... what he failed to tell you... This began during the Biden Admin. Kind of a big detail.

    Ever since USAID was defunded and thousands of NGO contracts were cancelled, left wing parties are losing in Central and South America. Right-wing presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori just won the Peru election. This continues the trend of other countries rejected socialism. https://t.co/08d5a0kRU1

    This is grief. The very sight of Elmo and Cookie Monster on air today made me start crying. Elmo then wiping away my tears. I have no idea why that happened at that moment. The sudden sorrow and jarring sense of loss come out of nowhere. https://t.co/q0xDr3md5Z
