People still aren't appreciating how big some publishers are on TikTok. The Mail Online had 250 MILLION engagements on the platform last month, with this one alone getting 20 million. Even compared to the halcyon days of ridiculous Facebook engagement, that's crazy.

Looks as if Budweiser is showing you can still bring in the engagement on Facebook with the right kind of content. Their Clydesdale Super Bowl ad has almost a million engagements on the platform, significantly outperforming other channels.

Kendrick got a huge chunk of the attention last night at the Super Bowl, getting between a quarter and a half of the total engagement, depending on what platform you're looking at.

Engagement with The Atlantic is through the roof this year compared to the same period in 2024, and that's even before today's story on the Yemen war plans group chat has a chance to run its course

The only place that the "50 countries are at the negotiating table" is really making any headway with regards to tariff news is on X.

Fair to say the term "panican" hasn't taken off like some of Trump's previous nicknames, most of the top posts across all networks are people mocking it.

Remember how big the Yemen groupchat story felt at the time? Tariffs news is making it look tiny in terms of engagement and awareness — just a much bigger story from the media and public's perspective. This intuitively makes sense, obviously, but interesting to see it in graphs.

Fox News has seen a big engagement increase with its news articles in the last few months, hitting weekly highs it hasn't seen for at least two years, per @newswhip data.
