BET engagement report
@BET - 2.6M followers on X
Measured over 179 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 40 interactions against 2.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 179 original posts, its engagement rate beats 14% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 7.8K times each, and 0.515% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.297% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 6.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 179 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29K interactions, about 715x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #thejasonleeshow, #soultrainawards, #betamplifiedlive.

Compared with accounts its own size
BET's engagement rate beats 14% 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 32% 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.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.002%, BET sits below the 10th percentile of the 204,956 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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 | 99% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 4% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 99% 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.
- 4% 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 296 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.

Keith Lee's latest visit to Gary, Indiana is a reminder of what can happen when visibility turns into action and community answers the call. After seeing residents of Gary struggling in the aftermath of the August 11 storms, Keith used his platform to bring attention and resources to the city. In just days, that call grew into a massive relief effort with 40+ food trucks, hundreds of volunteers, more than 10 companies and thousands of residents receiving food, cleaning supplies and other essentials. Keith contributed $15,000 toward the effort, with Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton matching his donation for a combined $30,000. The Salvation Army, City of Gary, Ace Hardware and others also joined the effort. Gary, we see you. 🤎

Taylor Townsend has just made history yet refused to stand in the moment alone. Two black women in the finals. Two black men in the semi-finals. One black woman (Chanda Rubin) who helped make visibility possible. That is the power of representation. Seeing how one generation’s courage becomes the next generation’s opportunity. Townsend completed the career Grand Slam, but her words made the moment larger than one trophy. She honored the trail behind her, the excellence surrounding her, and the possibilities now opening for those watching.

She spoke the dream. Then gave us something to witness. Ayra Starr made history as the first African artist to headline an NFL International Games halftime show, bringing Afrobeats to London during the Eagles–Jaguars matchup. https://t.co/lp7oD42GaM

The US Open got a little taste of HBCU homecoming. Taylor Townsend hit the court at the US Open in a custom tennis look inspired by HBCU marching band and majorette culture. The fit deserves a round of applause but the HBCU pride didn’t stop at the baseline. The 6th annual HBCU Live brought the culture to Queens, NY with Morgan State’s Magnificent Marching Machine taking over the grounds, HBCU DJs on the ones and twos and alumni and supporters repping their schools throughout the day. Center court looked a lot like the Yard, and we love to see it.

Katt Williams isn't waiting for Hollywood to change. He's building an alternative. The comedian is developing Kemet Movie Works in Anniston, Alabama, with plans to create more opportunities for Black filmmakers, musicians, and storytellers. Inspired in part by Tyler Perry's studio model, the venture aims to expand creative freedom while opening doors for the next generation through a partnership with HBCU Miles College. From calling out the industry to investing in a different future for it, Williams is making a case for what ownership can look like.

- What is BET's engagement rate on X?
- BET (@BET) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 179 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,608,681 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, BET sits below the 10th percentile of the 204,956 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 @BET have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @BET post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 6.23 posts per day across the measured window.
