Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 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.

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 | 58% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 42% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 58% 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.
- 42% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 255 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.

If you voted for the Big Beautiful Bill, please don’t get on here and express righteous indignation that the debt is now $40 trillion. Anyone with a room temperature IQ knew that cutting taxes and increasing spending was going to balloon the deficit.

I want to live in a country filled with people who immediately recognize how sad and pathetic this is, and reject Trump for being such a needy little weirdo. https://t.co/RKGw2wly4o

Dear @WhiteHouse: If what trump is saying is true, then why did only about 8 ships pass through the Straight of Hormuz yesterday compared to about 130 to 140 prior to the Iran War? Also, why would trump need to hide in a catering truck like a coward? https://t.co/H0he0e08Td

🚨Holy shit. Donald Trump just ruined any chance for Republicans to win the midterms. “TRUMP: “I don't want to hear about affordability.” That quote should haunt Republicans all the way to Election Day. #RepublicansStarveUS https://t.co/2OPD2yMnrg
