Dr. Abdul El-Sayed engagement report
@AbdulElSayed - 365K followers on X
Measured over 37 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 19, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.1K interactions against 365K followers, an engagement rate of 0.885%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 96% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 57K times each, and 5.39% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 15.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 68% carry an image or video, 5% are part of a thread and 30% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 34K interactions, about 11x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's engagement rate beats 96% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 91% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 23:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 68% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 30% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 68% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 30% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 164 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason. https://t.co/PDIecPkYcl

President @BarackObama showed me something in myself I might never have seen without him. I’m humbled to have his support in this fight. The Affordable Care Act will have laid the groundwork for guaranteed healthcare, and I'm honored to pick up his baton and finally pass Medicare for All.

DHS posted a racist graphic attacking "Mr. Singh," a last name that many Sikh Michiganders carry proudly. It is unacceptable to demonize and profile entire communities. No Michigander should be targeted simply because of their name. Hate and bigotry will not stand.

Gas is $5/gallon. Rather than stop this immoral war in Iran which is causing it, Donald wants us to…start supporting Russia? Tariffs on Canada but money for Russia. Jeez. @MikeRogersForMI, do you support Russia, too?

Yesterday’s bond market selloff is a a ringing alarm bell about the future of the economy under Trump’s mismanagement. Treasury bonds are the pillars of America’s economy. When they shake, the whole thing shakes. Traders are selling them off because they understand that Trump’s war and trade war are making things more expensive, and he’s pressuring the Fed to keep it from doing its job despite the rising inflation he’s creating. It’s triggering a lack of trust from the market—and a selloff. Why’s he doing this? He’s risking the future of the economy itself to inject the economy with a temporary sugar high through the midterms for his political gain. What’s the consequence for us? Everything is about to become a lot more expensive than it already is. Mike Rogers will say nothing because he’s corporate, corrupt, and a coward.
