At the end of 2025 I did some analysis of how Jimmy’s social accounts were performing and all links, to previous reports, are at the bottom of these new posts.

Earlier statistics related posts had a lot of caveats and explanations on them that were getting repetitious. To improve efficiency, I’ve moved all of that text to a Reporting page (hidden from search engines) so that I can link to it from within posts.

If you want to know more about why some comedians are not included in reports, how I gather the data, which I stated with 100+ names and am now down to only 29…then see here.

BTW – apologies to Andrew Schulz. I keep spelling it Shultz and don’t want to redo all of the spreadsheet images (I knew someone of that name, years ago, and have a mental block). Will change for next time.

X – Most Subscribers

In column AA we can see that, so far in 2026, the deleting of accounts has somewhat stabilised. Ricky Gervais released his new Netflix special and this gave him a bump of 102,313 – which completely went against his account’s trend in 2025 (column AB shows that he had previously lost -776,840).

The figures at the bottom show that, collectively, there is growth of 448,544. However, that doesn’t mean they won’t drop again as the deletes have seemed to slow down before and then shot up again.

AB is a comparison to October 20^th because that was my baseline, before the purging started.
