Chicago Cubs engagement report
@Cubs - 2.5M followers on X
Measured over 196 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.5K interactions against 2.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.1%. Measured over 196 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 96K times each, and 2.60% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.83% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 196 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 22K interactions, about 8.7x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #cubs, #fridaynightbaseball, #invescoqqq.

Compared with accounts its own size
Chicago Cubs's engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 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 82% 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 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.1%, Chicago Cubs sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,960 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.

- Its engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size group.

It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
