A typical post picks up 546 interactions against 504K followers, an engagement rate of 0.108%. Measured over 13 original posts, its engagement rate beats 72% 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 14K times each, and 3.87% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.80% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 13 posts sampled, 23% carry an image or video and 15% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 328K interactions, about 1026x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

David Limbaugh's engagement rate beats 72% 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 84% 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 0.108%, David Limbaugh sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,048 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

  • 23% 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.
  • 0% 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 177 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.

    Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions. In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country. Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country. America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

    I confess I hate being barraged by emails and I rarely read those emails from people who always send articles and that type of thing but for some reason I read one today and I thought it really interesting so I’m going to paste it here. You may have seen it before, but I haven’t. Conundrum Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free. (Think this one over and over…makes sense!) "A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again." The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing. Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America : 1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized. 2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims. 3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government. 4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer. 5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about. 6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries. Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.

    For the first time in my life, I’m considering looking at a Tesla because a friend of mine bought one and loves it for the self driving feature mainly. But I started looking into availability and it is really difficult out there. Am I missing something? are they more available than I think? Could you have Elon Call me and set me up sooner? I mean, I did support DOGE enthusiastically.

    Vice President JD Vance just finished speaking with us at the Republican Jewish Coalition. I very much appreciate him making the time. Four immediate thoughts: 1. Vance's commitment to his faith is inspiring. It's good for us young men to have role models speak about religion so openly. 2. Vance is absolutely right that young Catholic Americans and young Jewish Americans have much to learn from each other. I hope we can work with the Vice President's office to create the necessary infrastructure for this to occur. 3. It is obvious that American foreign policy must be from the perspective of America first. One who disagrees should not live in America. 4. The Tucker question will continue to dodge Vance the way Piker continues to dodge El Sayed. His refusal to unequivocally denounce and condemn Tucker, who just called for Trump's immediate removal, will make it very hard for the American Jewish community to consider his otherwise stellar policies.

    Is it only me, or are any of you noticing a major increase in spam calls? Where do all these people get our numbers? Honestly I bet I'm getting 25 to 30 a day. Maybe more; it's not like I count them. There oughta be a rule.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 546 interactions against 504K followers, an engagement rate of 0.108%. Measured over 13 original posts, its engagement rate beats 72% 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 14K times each, and 3.87% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.80% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week.

What is David Limbaugh's engagement rate on X?
David Limbaugh (@DavidLimbaugh) has an engagement rate of 0.108%, based on the median interactions across 13 original posts from the last 30 days against 503,659 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.108%, David Limbaugh 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 @DavidLimbaugh have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 72% 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 @DavidLimbaugh post?
Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.1 posts per day across the measured window.
