A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 99K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 1,224 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 1.6K times each, and 0.369% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.64% 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 50% of days. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 30% carry an image or video and 59% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.6K interactions, about 933x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Chris Pirillo's engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,224 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 4 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 15% 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 0.006%, Chris Pirillo sits above the 10th percentile of the 12,393 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.008%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 12,393 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 327,630 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 01:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 01:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video30% of posts+83%+77% to +89%7.0K
Outbound link59% of posts-48%-50% to -47%7.2K
Typical length--4%-6% to -3%9.4K
  • 30% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 83% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 59% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 48% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 212 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters run 4% below 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.

    Celebrating small wins is hardwired into "Achieve," our goal-tracking sample app. We wanted the simple act of checking off a task to feel like a celebration. Instead of the standard #Material ripple, we used Styles to drop in a custom, high-contrast completion animation—specifically, a brand-colored ring that expands and fades on tap, paired with a subtle pressed-state gradient. It lets us focus entirely on polishing those custom, rewarding micro-interactions while Material handles the foundation. #GoogleDesign #MaterialDesign #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev #UXDesign #InteractionDesign

    This guy lost the lid to his coffee grinder. Instead of ordering a replacement he asked Codex to make one. One prompt. "Make me a CAD design to replace the hopper lid for my 2012 Baratza Encore. Do all the research yourself. This must be perfect in one shot." 20 minutes later Codex came back with a complete CAD package. Print-ready STL. Editable STEP. Dimensioned drawing. It researched the original parts catalog, found conflicting measurements online and resolved them, extracted dimensions from an existing 3D model, designed a tolerance-friendly fit, optimized it for printing, and validated everything automatically. He printed it. Perfect fit. First try. A physical object that fits perfectly came out the other side. AI is not replacing engineers. It's giving everyone access to engineering.

    At some point in the recent past, Claude started talking / writing / coding in British English. I kept correcting it, over and over. Today, it caught something in a skill scan by happenstance and I wondered... did British English somehow seep into a skill? Yeah, and it spread like wildfire. Not quite a virus, but... man, that was making me exhibit angry behaviou... behavior. I was right to push back.

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 99K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 1,224 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 1.6K times each, and 0.369% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.64% 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 50% of days. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 30% carry an image or video and 59% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.6K interactions, about 933x its own typical post.

What is Chris Pirillo's engagement rate on X?
Chris Pirillo (@ChrisPirillo) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 37 original posts from the last 30 days against 99,420 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.006%, Chris Pirillo sits above the 10th percentile of the 12,393 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 @ChrisPirillo have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,224 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 @ChrisPirillo post?
Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.6 posts per day across the measured window.
