Measured over 41 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 22, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 940 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.052%. Measured over 41 original posts, its engagement rate beats 71% 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 40K times each, and 2.38% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.19% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 77% of days. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 41 posts sampled, 51% carry an image or video and 27% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 51K interactions, about 54x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #702walkthetalk, #702wtt, #dstv403.

Compared with accounts its own size
Gareth Cliff's engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 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 79% 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 10:00 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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 51% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 27% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 51% 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.
- 27% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 552 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.

Woke reporter SHUTS DOWN my Interview when I expose her as a racist. She says it is not possible to be racist toward white people. When I show her that simple logic disproves everything she is saying, she is forced to get up & end the conversation. https://t.co/MC3CaCRhzf

The most uplifting architectural revival happening today is in Budapest. Budapest is erasing the brutalist blight from its communist past. This building at Kossuth Square has been restored according to its original plans from the 1920s. Many such examples around the city. https://t.co/nbt2c9CMZz

- What is Gareth Cliff's engagement rate on X?
- Gareth Cliff (@GarethCliff) has an engagement rate of 0.052%, based on the median interactions across 41 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,802,941 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.052%, Gareth Cliff sits above the 50th percentile of the 9,981 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 @GarethCliff have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 71% 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 @GarethCliff post?
- Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.67 posts per day across the measured window.
