This week I did something that saved me a lot of effort: I told Grok Bot, “Look through my original posts and reposts on X from the past 30 days, and tell me what kinds of posts people are reading and what times are safest to post.” It pulled the data and laid out the results for me.
It pulled 119 posts from the past 30 days: 91 original posts and 28 reposts. Total views were about 19,500, while the median views per post were just 114.
The biggest surprise was that the top three were all long-form posts: the tokenized stocks post from 10/15 got 1,432 views, the comparison of Binance and Hyperliquid stock perpetuals from 10/24 got 1,192, and the post from 10/17 about a tenfold fee difference for the same order book frontend got 1,072. All three got more than 9 times the median, while the most-viewed short post, about Solana Alpenglow, got only 600.
I cross-checked the numbers for the top posts against the raw data returned by the X API, and only wrote this after confirming they matched. It’s easy to reproduce: just paste the sentence above as-is. No need to export a CSV or install an analytics plugin. The numbers should always be based on what you pull from your own account at that moment; other people’s screenshots are only a reference.
The most useful takeaway for me is straightforward: short posts keep everyday visibility up, but only long-form posts get over a thousand views.
