Crooked Media engagement report
@CrookedMedia - 345K followers on X
Measured over 45 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 3, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 17 interactions against 345K followers, an engagement rate of 0.005%. Measured over 45 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 6,874 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 8.7K times each, and 0.197% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.51% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 45 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 691 interactions, about 41x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Crooked Media's engagement rate beats 19% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 14% 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 0.005%, Crooked Media sits above the 10th percentile of the 66,691 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.016%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Monday 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 | 98% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 2% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 98% 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.
- 2% 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 126 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% 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.

Favreau: When you step back and squint at all the primary results this year, do they tell you any kind of cohesive story about Democratic voters and the Democratic Party? Pfeiffer: Democrats are furious that Donald Trump is president, Democrats are incredibly skeptical and distrustful of their own leaders, their own institutions and the way the party has done politics in the past and Democrats are fired up about voting.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 17 interactions against 345K followers, an engagement rate of 0.005%. Measured over 45 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 6,874 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 8.7K times each, and 0.197% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Crooked Media's engagement rate on X?
- Crooked Media (@CrookedMedia) has an engagement rate of 0.005%, based on the median interactions across 45 original posts from the last 30 days against 345,080 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.005%, Crooked Media sits above the 10th percentile of the 66,691 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 @CrookedMedia have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 19% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter 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 @CrookedMedia post?
- Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.9 posts per day across the measured window.
