Measured over 18 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 821 interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.068%. Measured over 18 original posts, its engagement rate beats 65% 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 87K times each, and 0.944% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.21% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 18 posts sampled, 56% carry an image or video, 22% are part of a thread and 22% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 57K interactions, about 69x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Bret Weinstein's engagement rate beats 65% 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 46% 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.

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 | 56% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 22% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 56% 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.
- 22% 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 636 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.

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

At first, Jean-Pierre did not understand. He watched the evening news, paid his taxes, voted responsibly and believed what respectable people told him. 1. France needed immigration because the economy needed workers. 2. Diversity was an opportunity. 3. Public services were under pressure because they lacked funding. 4. Disorder at school was caused by inequality. 5. Crime statistics required context. 6. Anyone who connected these things too quickly was probably an extremist. Then his children started coming home from school saying they could barely hear the teacher. Half the lesson was spent restoring order. Teachers changed constantly. Some simply disappeared for weeks. Jean-Pierre complained once, politely. The administration explained that the situation was âchallengingâ and that the school was developing an âinclusive pedagogical response.â Jean-Pierre went home reassured. There were professionals dealing with it. His neighbourhood changed too. Shops closed. Others appeared. Groups of men occupied the same corners every evening. His wife stopped taking one street after dark. Jean-Pierre noticed all of this, but he had also learned that noticing patterns was dangerous. So every event remained an isolated event. One closed shop meant nothing. One assault meant nothing. Ten incidents meant ten unrelated incidents. Only a racist would connect dots. Then his daughter was sexually assaulted by a man who had recently arrived in France. Jean-Pierre was devastated. But almost immediately he began policing his own thoughts. The attacker was an individual. Of course. One must never generalise. The television explained that exploiting such crimes politically was irresponsible. A minister warned against âstigmatisation.â Jean-Pierre found himself nodding through tears. What had happened to his daughter was monstrous, but the truly frightening possibility, apparently, was that somebody somewhere might vote for the wrong party because of it. Nothing changed. His sonâs school became worse. His daughter stopped going out alone. His wife wanted to move. The police were exhausted. The teachers were exhausted. The hospitals were exhausted. Jean-Pierre was exhausted. Yet every explanation he had been given required him to believe that each deterioration was temporary, accidental, exaggerated or caused by something entirely unrelated to the deterioration immediately beside it. And whenever somebody proposed that perhaps the country had made serious mistakes â about migration, authority, education, policing, integration, punishment or borders â Jean-Pierre knew the correct answer. âCareful. That sounds like the far right.â So he remained reasonable. He remained moderate. He remained informed. He remained completely incapable of drawing a conclusion from his own life. So at first, Jean-Pierre did not understand. And he still does not understand.

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.

- What is Bret Weinstein's engagement rate on X?
- Bret Weinstein (@BretWeinstein) has an engagement rate of 0.068%, based on the median interactions across 18 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,206,221 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.068%, Bret Weinstein sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,152 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 @BretWeinstein have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 65% 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 @BretWeinstein post?
- Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.63 posts per day across the measured window.
