A typical post picks up 9 interactions against 4.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 380 original posts, its engagement rate beats 6% of 3,739 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 13K times each, and 0.067% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.31% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 12.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 380 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 121x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Business Insider's engagement rate beats 6% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 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 5% 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 under 0.001%, Business Insider sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,378 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 9 interactions against 4.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 380 original posts, its engagement rate beats 6% of 3,739 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 13K times each, and 0.067% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.31% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 12.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week.

What is Business Insider's engagement rate on X?
Business Insider (@BusinessInsider) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 380 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,341,382 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At under 0.001%, Business Insider sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,378 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 @BusinessInsider have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 6% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% 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 @BusinessInsider post?
Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 12.67 posts per day across the measured window.
