Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 217,745 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 21,722 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 12:00 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: 12:00 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 video63% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link38% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 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.
  • 38% 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 183 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.

    WOAH 🚨 Lead Anchor at CNN Jake Tapper comes out and admits THEY ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t really President and calling the shots He says there was an elite inner circle of advisors who would make the decisions and “steer the country.” He gives the names of the people in that group Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions “Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.” Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from within the Biden administration, as the name would suggest is a tightly held group of senior advisors — these were the individuals that help steer the government.” The mainstream media was in on the coverup. How are there no consequences for these people

    My 9 year old was fine on Thursday - laughing, running, joking. Then he wasn't. He got sick on Friday - just another virus we thought. Saturday he woke up talking complete gibberish to us - "get to the ER" we thought. 11 hours in the ER, and he was getting worse: - Delirium - Hallucinations - Then seizures Sunday - 30 electrodes strapped to his skull. Neuro surgery was consulted. We came very close to intubating him and having a drain put into his skull. Thankfully it didn't come to that. Graham got viral encephalitis - an infection from a common virus that went to his brain and put pressure on his neurons. He's turned a major corner, and its now day 12 of being in the hospital away from his brothers, friends and dog, Koda. He is better, and will continue to get better, but slowly. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to help and offer prayers. Thank you for understanding my absence and quiet from your lives. Here is a page I put up so anyone can follow along as he recovers: https://t.co/pdn4ciSAG7 Hug your kids, and of course, Light that fire! Mike
