Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 217,635 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 21,696 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 15:00 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: 15:00 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 video49% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link37% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 49% 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.
  • 37% 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 284 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.

    🚨 BREAKING: Vivek Ramaswamy tells the Fake News outrage mob to SHOVE IT, he's NOT backing down after posting an ad of Amy Acton's mom calling her a liar "You never start a fight — but if you find yourself in one, you FINISH IT...They've attacked ME. They DEFAMED my mother to media SILENCE." "Yet at the same time, they'll trot out anything to attack a Republican." 💯 "The fact of the matter is I am running against somebody who is crazy, unstable and DISHONEST." "If they actually believe these are unfair attacks, you know what my opponent would be doing? She'd be agreeing to show up on a debate with me, as I agreed to on CNN and NBC!" There is no reason for @VivekGRamaswamy to apologize to these country-destroying Democrats. Acton has refused EVERY live debate invitation in the Ohio governor's race — including CNN and NBC affiliate WLWT — while hiding from unscripted questions and running millions in personal smears against him and his family! Amy Acton is getting the Kamala treatment. She must lose at all costs.

    Closing the Kennedy Center, the official national memorial to John F. Kennedy, unless and until the name Donald J. Trump is added to it isn't the act of a president. It's the act of a petulant child. https://t.co/CdWehPLoMH via @NYTimes
