A typical post picks up 782 interactions against 122K followers, an engagement rate of 0.647%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 20,444 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 35K times each, and 2.21% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 29.1% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.6 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 56% carry an image or video and 11% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 51K interactions, about 65x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

David's engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 64% 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 0.647%, David sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.678%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,261 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 03:00 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.

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: 03:00 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 video56% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 56% 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 259 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.

    SpaceX put 10 megawatts of solar power in space across 3000 gen1 Starlink satellites, then they put 100 megawatts in space with 7000 gen2. soon, they're doing 1000 megawatts with gen3. SpaceX is basically 10xing space solar every few years!

    11 years of humanoid robotics in one video. šŸ¤– In 2015, humanoid robots were still struggling with basic tasks like walking, climbing stairs and recovering from falls during the DARPA Robotics Challenge. Fast-forward to 2026, and humanoids are running, jumping, boxing, playing football, handling industrial tasks and operating in real-world environments. The World Humanoid Robot Games featured 2,056 robots across 51 events, including practical tasks in factories, hotels and homes. The progress is obvious. But the real question is not how impressive they look in a demo. What will humanoid robots be capable of in 2036? šŸ‘€ šŸŽ„ Media: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) / Unitree Robotics āš ļø This content is shared for informational purposes only.

    there's an ancient Chinese saying "the way a person does one thing is the way they do everything". the best way to conquer this is to ask "if i had to do everything in a single way, what would i want it to be?" - finding your answer will feel like compounding magic over time

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 782 interactions against 122K followers, an engagement rate of 0.647%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 20,444 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 35K times each, and 2.21% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 29.1% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.6 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 56% carry an image or video and 11% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 51K interactions, about 65x its own typical post.

What is David's engagement rate on X?
David (@DavidSHolz) has an engagement rate of 0.647%, based on the median interactions across 9 original posts from the last 30 days against 121,665 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.647%, David sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,261 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 @DavidSHolz have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the top 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 @DavidSHolz post?
Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.6 posts per day across the measured window.
