Engagement
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 1.4K interactions against 291K followers, an engagement rate of 0.483%. Posts are seen about 43K times each, and 3.26% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 14.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.4K interactions. 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 23:00 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 | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -8% | -9% to -7% | 41K |
- 100% 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.
- 0% 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 68 characters, which falls in the under 80 characters band. Across the catalog, posts under 80 characters run 8% below 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.

Drop whatever you're doing, folks 🚨 Whenever I suspect that the Sports Reference sites couldn't possibly add any more features, I'm invariably proven wrong. Today I'm happy to introduce You People™ to Sports Reference Hub, a customizable new dashboard that you can populate with your favorite teams (from across the entire Sports Reference ecosystem!) to see what they did yesterday, who the key players were, what they're doing today, and what they'll be doing tomorrow. Right next to your favorite team widgets (Mets and Yankees for me) are customizable leaderboards and even an "on this date" widget so that you instantly know whether any given day is the anniversary of something momentous in your favorite team's history. If you love baseball history as much as I do, that feature alone is worth signing up for immediately. Hub serves as a customized jumping-off point, quickly giving you access to the information you care about most, and pointing you in the right direction if you want to dive deeper on any of the specific Reference sites. Creating a Hub account is completely free, but you have the option of an ad-free Hub experience with a paid Stathead subscription. (As a proud #SportsRefAmbassador, I've got you covered there, too, chief; save 20% on an annual Stathead subscription with the promo code NOTGAETTI.) I'm not being remotely hyperbolic when I say that you will use this thing every single day and absolutely love it.
Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.
