Each bar is one day, in date order; its height is how many main posts (originals, quotes and articles; not replies) went out that day. This chart counts posts per day rather than listing each post. May 2–3, 2026 read zero for every account we track: a gap in the data.

Views are as of Nov 8, 2026. Follower counts before today are his own posts (self-reported); X does not publish follower history. Views cover part of his posts, not every one; the post counts per day are complete.
Their own numbers, checked
He posted a milestone almost every few hundred followers, plus a payout list and two month-by-month breakdowns. We checked what can be checked against the public posts and daily post counts:
| What he said (self-reported) | What the data shows (fact) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| "Started January 27, 0 followers" | No main posts in all of 2025; first main post Jan 28, 2026 | Holds (one day apart, perhaps a reply first) |
| "133 days later, we've reached 10K" (Jun 9) | Jan 27 plus 133 days is Jun 9 | Holds on the day count |
| "159 days ago" (Jul 5), "67 days" (Apr 4) | Both dates match | Holds |
| "73 days ago, I started from 0" (Apr 13) | Jan 27 to Apr 13 is 76 days | Off by a little |
| Jun 4: "Month 1 +1,700 / Month 2 +2,800 / Month 3 +2,500 / Month 4 +2,500" | Jun 30 version: "+1,700 / +2,500 / +2,300 / +2,200 / +2,200". Months 2–4 are each 200–300 lower; each version adds up to his total at the time, 9.5K and 10.9K | Does not hold: the same months have two sets of numbers |
| "Month 1: +1,700" | On Feb 28 he said 2.4K after 30 days; on Mar 3, "Jan 28 ➝ Feb 28: 0 to 2,500" | Does not hold: two numbers for the first month, 1,700 and 2,400–2,500 |
| "5,000,000 impressions" in 14 days (Feb 14) | He said 6.3M at 30 days (Feb 28); the meme alone, posted in that second half, had 709,876 views | Doubtful: days 15–30 added only 1.3M, far less than the first two weeks |
| X payouts $8,614.51, in ten amounts | The ten add up to exactly 8,614.51; his earlier totals ($3,128 on Apr 27, $4,269.88 on May 17, $5,308 on May 25, $7,541.84 on Jun 22) each equal a running sum of the same list | His own figures agree with each other; X's dashboard can't be seen |
| "No hacks. Just posting, replying, and showing up every day" | Main posts on almost every day from February; in the first 90 days, 6.8 main posts and 169.0 replies a day | Holds. Note the replies: about 25 for every main post (calc) |
