Every's Thesis Conference on X: Data Analysis

How Every's Thesis conference played out on X from October 27 to November 10, 2026.

Key findings

Every and its speakers drove three quarters of views on X: 634,000 of 839,000. Dan Shipper (Every's CEO) and Andrew Ambrosino (OpenAI) alone account for 36%. The community contributed 17%, across 131 accounts.
November 5 was the clear peak: 416,000 views, or 285,000 without Ambrosino's post, against a daily average of 39,000 in the nine days prior and 14,000 after. Activity fell sharply over the weekend (75 posts on Friday, 21 on Saturday, none on Sunday) and did not recover through November 10.
When the community posted, praise for the event and discussion of the talks were the most common topics (39 posts each). Others included going to the event (25), the stream (20), and the design (16).

The most viewed post was Ambrosino's "masterclass conference from @every," at 130,392 views, 16% of the total. Without that post, the total is 709,000. That post alone accounts for more than half of the Speakers row.

The 131 community accounts have 1.22 million followers combined. 24 have more than 10,000; 2 have more than 100,000. All but 2 posts are in English; the rest are media or links only. The four livestreams on X showed about 7,050 views on November 9. There was no YouTube stream.

Methodology

I pulled the public X posts about the conference from October 27 to November 10 using SocialData and worked through them with Claude Code. Claude Code wrote the Python scripts behind every number, filtered the posts down to the ones about Thesis, removed bots and off-topic content after checking each account, read each community post and sorted it by topic, and ran independent review passes to verify the figures and quotes. Because X search doesn't return all posts, every figure here is a minimum. The data and the script behind every number are on GitHub. The text was written with Spiral.
