Engagement
A typical post picks up 295 interactions against 412K followers, an engagement rate of 0.072%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 62% of 3,917 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 27K times each, and 1.07% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.67% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 17K interactions, about 58x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #naca2026, #backher, #bokwomen.

Compared with accounts its own size
Gayton McKenzie's engagement rate beats 62% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,917 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 52% 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 07:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

It is an absolute disgrace that @GaytonMcK a whole leader of a party &Minister of Sports has totally lost his humanity by celebrating the loss of a DA activists who was driving a DA branded vehicle in a car accident. This is madness.Mind you the PA is responsible for roads in Johannesburg, how many lives have been lost in Johannesburg as a result of lack of road maintenance. Is this what lives of ordinary residents mean to the PA? May Mviki's dear soul rest in peace as we mourn the loss of a very hard working DA Activist on #CountrydutyπΏπ¦ Rest in peace Mvikiπ

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 295 interactions against 412K followers, an engagement rate of 0.072%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 62% of 3,917 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 27K times each, and 1.07% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.67% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 17K interactions, about 58x its own typical post.

- What is Gayton McKenzie's engagement rate on X?
- Gayton McKenzie (@GaytonMcK) has an engagement rate of 0.072%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 411,890 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.072%, Gayton McKenzie sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,996 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 @GaytonMcK have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 62% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,917 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 @GaytonMcK post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.63 posts per day across the measured window.
