Engagement
A typical post picks up 889 interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.076%. Measured over 142 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% 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 29K times each, and 3.10% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.44% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 142 posts sampled, 68% carry an image or video and 28% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 81K interactions, about 91x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Byron Donalds's engagement rate beats 66% 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 79% 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 16:00 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 | 68% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 28% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 68% 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.
- 28% 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 232 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

I arrived in the Sunshine State at 17 years old on a Greyhound bus, with a trunk full of clothes and a dream. Now is the time to keep the best state in the country as the best state in the country. Tonight, I am proud to announce my candidacy to be the next governor of Florida. https://t.co/8jUHXw8A34

I have just one question, Florida: are you with me? We are going to keep Florida the BEST STATE IN AMERICA. https://t.co/xkmPPfVLsS

Good morning, Florida. I spent 17 years in the financial industry. I voted to cut your taxes. I will fight to make Florida more affordable — from fixing our insurance market to delivering real property tax relief. Democrat David Jolly wants to socialize our insurance market. He was AGAINST no tax on tips, no tax on social security, and even opposed the child tax credit. Florida cannot afford David Jolly.

Thank you to Bikers for Trump for the warm welcome in Ormond Beach! I loved spending the afternoon with patriots who love this country and care about where Florida goes next. I am proud to have your support. https://t.co/FMTZgmQs8p

The President of the United States called into the NASA press conference after the historic Roman Telescope launch. There is a reason nearly 70% of Americans support NASA's return to the Moon, compared with just 35% during the Kennedy era. The world’s most accomplished space agency, backed by @POTUS, bipartisan support in Congress, and an extraordinary workforce, can absolutely achieve the near impossible. We are returning astronauts to the Moon, building the base, getting underway on nuclear power in space, with many more exciting missions like Roman to follow!

Florida is the #1 state in America. Why does David Jolly want to change that? He wants to bring the same radical, failed policies that ruined California and the Northeast. As governor, I will protect and continue the Florida Dream built on our common-sense conservative agenda. https://t.co/Tb3CsziFpU

An absolutely incredible crowd at our second bus tour stop in The Villages today. The momentum on the ground is real. Get out and VOTE, Florida! https://t.co/JBArUzqeqo

Measured over 142 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

- What is Byron Donalds's engagement rate on X?
- Byron Donalds (@ByronDonalds) has an engagement rate of 0.076%, based on the median interactions across 142 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,175,359 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.076%, Byron Donalds sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 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 @ByronDonalds have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 66% 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 @ByronDonalds post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.63 posts per day across the measured window.
