Early reading. We have captured 1 original post 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 598 interactions against 4.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.014%. Posts are seen about 952K times each, and 0.063% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 21.7% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.07 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 230K interactions, about 385x its own typical post. Only 1 original post 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 36,261 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,137 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 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.

    The federal government shutdown threatens SNAP benefits for 40 million Americans this week. We’re launching an Emergency Food Response to help: delivering 1 million free meals through 300+ food banks, and waiving delivery and service fees for 300k grocery orders for SNAP recipients. It’s a stopgap, not a solution. But help is needed now. Read more: https://t.co/o460jyeENQ

    Thanks to @POTUS and @RepJasonSmith, millions of Dashers may soon get a tax break on their hard earned tips. Following advocacy from 40K Dashers, including dozens in DC last week, the House’s budget bill is an important step in making #NoTaxOnTips a reality. https://t.co/EiMTnMVai9
