Measured over 30 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 14, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 490 interactions against 320K followers, an engagement rate of 0.153%. Measured over 30 original posts, its engagement rate beats 67% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 35K times each, and 1.41% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 10.9% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 30 posts sampled, 60% carry an image or video and 37% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 39K interactions, about 79x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nhi, #whatilearnedtoday.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ashton Forbes's engagement rate beats 67% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 52% 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 22:00 UTC, and Monday 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 | 60% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 37% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 60% 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.
- 37% 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 337 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above 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.

Doja Cat praises MoistCr1TiKaL for being smart & reveals he’s the only streamer she watches. She says she doesn’t want to become friends with him IRL because it would make watching him feel weird after her chat suggested they link up “I’m just gonna keep watching his videos every single day instead of being like.. oh I know that guy so it feels weird to watch him while I go to sleep. He literally talks me to sleep…..”

239 people died on this plane, in an operation the U.S. will never admit to, using technology that shouldn't exist. No one is fighting for them except my community. We're proud of it, because despite how insane it seems, we know its true. They teleported that plane. https://t.co/a5aV0yRsbE

I’ve never posted on X. Last year I was at Department of Energy with an unusual view into what’s happening across AI, energy, and infrastructure. The old systems can’t handle what’s coming. There’s just an insane amount we need to build in the physical world, and the opportunity and urgency are greater than ever. Every able person should be contributing to the effort, and I’ve gotten back into the arena to do my part. More to come soon.

THERE IT IS AGAIN! 👀 Trump hints at invoking the Insurrection Act again, only this time with Minneapolis instead of Chicago. If state and local authorities are incapable of enforcing federal law and safeguarding the public, they are inviting a Federal response, aka, the Insurrection Act. Invoking the Insurrection Act is not required if the Mayor and Governor ask for Federal assistance, but if they continue to act in open rebellion and refuse to enforce Federal law, they are opening the door for Trump to exercise his full powers as Commander in Chief, which would require him to suspend Posse Comitatus. Trump is just doing his due diligence and giving them a warning for optics purposes, so he can say he gave them an opportunity to comply. We all know that these Democrat Mayors and Governors will never ask for Federal assistance on their own, because they are complicit in the ongoing insurrection and harboring illegals in their cities, as a means to influence and cheat in elections. Trump continues to hint that something big is coming for sanctuary cities, just as we enter the midterm push.

A Proposal for Joe Rogan The MH370 videos are never going away. They are what really happened to the plane. The science will be proven in the future. @joerogan has been talking to people corroborating the same things this investigation has independently uncovered. My offer is to bring any expert from any field onto the show to debate my arguments. If at the end of the show you think I'm being in any way disingenuous or you just don't believe the videos can be authentic, I will agree to not mention the missing plane for a full year. Even people who think the videos are fake should find this offer appealing because they want me to stop talking about the case. This is the only way that happens. I am willing to put everything on the line for a single chance to convince the world that we have exotic technology that will reinterpret the laws of physics as we understand them. #MH370x #MH370

- What is Ashton Forbes's engagement rate on X?
- Ashton Forbes (@AshtonForbes) has an engagement rate of 0.153%, based on the median interactions across 30 original posts from the last 30 days against 319,953 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.153%, Ashton Forbes sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @AshtonForbes have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 67% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @AshtonForbes post?
- Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.8 posts per day across the measured window.
