Measured over 11 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 23, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 730 interactions against 868K followers, an engagement rate of 0.085%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% of 1,003 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 43K times each, and 1.70% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.96% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.43 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 27% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 91% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 20x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
GamersNexus's engagement rate beats 66% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 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 63% 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 0.085%, GamersNexus sits above the 50th percentile of the 10,326 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.048% to 0.321%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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 | 27% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 91% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 27% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 91% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 347 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 13% above 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.

Update: We are working on a follow-up to the LG story and have some disturbing findings re: LG's products. It will take us a while to parse everything and we have involved multiple security researchers, lawyers (working on reading around 40,000 words of LG agreements that are, generally, terrifying in scope), and network experts, but will have an update for you all as soon as we can finalize collecting all of the information and parsing. There is a lot for us to crawl through (and I'm also already up to thousands of dollars in LG product purchases, but each one peels back another layer of the enshittified onion). This will be a fairly large research piece and will take time, but is also the worst I've seen so far in this 'genre' of product and agreements.

Big success today. Not necessarily for a video, kind of boring business software stuff, but: Only 2 software suites keep me on Windows, at this point. Adobe and QuickBooks. I've managed to migrate off of QuickBooks, which has killed its desktop software to go cloud only. Fuck that. I was able to find Linux-compatible bookkeeping software that actually works way better than QuickBooks. Much faster and QB was forcing users to go online (no doubt to scrape for AI models), so this is local, fully self-owned data, and no cost. Took all goddamn day, but man was the frustration worth it. Definitely not an easy migration process. I ended up trying several tools - Beancount with FAVA, hledger, Manager, GnuCash, and some others. Have narrowed to two, but the point is that there is a promising path forward and I now only have one set of software keeping me on Windows, which is Adobe. There are solutions for that as well. It's a little more painful since the entire company uses Adobe and, for that reason, we don't have an immediate need to move and there's a lot more inertia. I will start experimenting with alternatives personally though and we'll see if we can roll it out over time. Definitely promising. I fucking hate Windows. The amount of spying is unbelievable at this point, and the pain to find alternatives to all my old tools is at this point lower than the concerns Microsoft introduces.

- What is GamersNexus's engagement rate on X?
- GamersNexus (@GamersNexus) has an engagement rate of 0.085%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 867,747 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.085%, GamersNexus sits above the 50th percentile of the 10,326 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 @GamersNexus have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 66% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 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 @GamersNexus post?
- Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.43 posts per day across the measured window.
