Bret Weinstein engagement report
@BretWeinstein - 1.2M followers on X
Measured over 29 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.9K interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.154%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 79% of 3,899 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 172K times each, and 1.08% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 14.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 48% carry an image or video, 17% are part of a thread and 24% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 57K interactions, about 31x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Bret Weinstein's engagement rate beats 79% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 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 53% 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 18:00 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.

35-year-old father of five, Garnet Harper, was denied a life-saving kidney transplant in Ontario â not because there werenât donors, but because he hadnât received the COVID vaccine. His own brothers had volunteered to give him a kidney, yet no hospital would perform the surgery. Garnet passed away in May, leaving behind his wife of 12 years and their five young children. While he was still fighting for his life, hospital staff asked his wife if they could harvest his organs once he was gone. He was considered unworthy of receiving a transplant while alive⌠but valuable enough to take organs from once he died. This isnât just a policy debate anymore. Itâs a family that will never be whole again.

More Censorship/Cancel Culture. The authors were not notified of this "Temporary Removal" action. I have never seen anything like this, ever, in my entire scientific career. https://t.co/eQhMep1dFq

Not one single person of average intelligence or above, is arguing in good faith that men can become women, should be allowed in womenâs sports, be imprisoned with women, or be allowed in womanâs shelters. If youâre smart and hold those positions, truth is not your top priority.

Remember what they said about @RWMaloneMD, @stkirsch and me when we tried to warn you in June of '21? Now that you know Dr. Fauci lied to us, as he covered up a massive miscarriage signal, you should rethink everything else. The man is very comfortable killing innocent people. https://t.co/lmAlGMsbmU

Democracy is a check on power. Immigration creates an override to that check, so long as immigrants are dependent on handouts from one party, and citizenship requirements for voting are effectively suspended. Itâs an attack on our consent, effectively the rÄpe of the Republic.

Young men, donât let anyone tell you that you arenât a good capitalist because you rightfully complain about how hard it is to buy a home, pay your mounting bills, buy your family groceries, or keep a roof over your head. It didnât always used to be this way, the deck really is stacked against you, and turning you into debt cattle, tax slave, and lifelong renter were the goals of very wealthy and powerful people since they first assigned you a number. Because thatâs what you are to them. Your right to complain about it is written in your sweat and blood. And no. You are not experiencing âcapitalism.â You are experiencing exploitation they call âcapitalism.â You are competing for a starter home against global capital with access to money you could never borrow at rates you could never get. You are paying taxes into a system that subsidizes corporations large enough to purchase the politicians who write the rules governing those corporations. You are watching losses get socialized while profits remain private, industries consolidate until âcompetitionâ means choosing which logo gets to fleece you, and financial institutions turn necessities like housing, medicine, education, and even food into investment vehicles to be squeezed for maximum yield. That is not a free market. That is a market with a thumb and an entire federal bureaucracy sitting on the scale. Real Capitalism requires meaningful competition, private property, enforceable contracts, and honest money. When the powerful can purchase exemptions, subsidies, bailouts, regulatory moats, preferential financing, cheap foreign labor, and political influence, while you get a mortgage at seven percent and a lecture about skipping Starbucks, somebody has rigged the %*#* game. You work. You produce. You build. You fix. You haul. You create things people need. and then you watch an ever-growing procession of governments, banks, monopolies, middlemen, institutional investors, and politically connected parasites reach into your pocket to take it. There is nothing anti-capitalist about objecting to that. That is a rigged table where the house writes the rules, deals the cards, owns the casino, lends you the money to play, and then calls you âanti-capitalistâ and âunpatrioticâ when you notice. Heck, Iâll even complain *with* you. Itâll be fun. But weâll have to do it while we work because a single day off might cause cascading financial ruin and then theyâll call us lazy.
