A typical post picks up 597 interactions against 471K followers, an engagement rate of 0.127%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 70% of 4,273 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 26K times each, and 2.32% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.45% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.77 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 90% carry an image or video, 10% are part of a thread and 20% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.1K interactions, about 6.9x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Don Orsillo's engagement rate beats 70% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 73% 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.

At 0.127%, Don Orsillo sits above the 50th percentile of the 41,299 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.083% to 0.445%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 41,299 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 90,063 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 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.

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.

Recurring topics

#forthefaithful#makeawish

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 597 interactions against 471K followers, an engagement rate of 0.127%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 70% of 4,273 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 26K times each, and 2.32% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

Posting runs at about 0.77 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week.

What is Don Orsillo's engagement rate on X?
Don Orsillo (@DonOrsillo) has an engagement rate of 0.127%, based on the median interactions across 10 original posts from the last 30 days against 471,436 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.127%, Don Orsillo sits above the 50th percentile of the 41,299 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 @DonOrsillo have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 70% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 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 @DonOrsillo post?
Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.77 posts per day across the measured window.
