Engagement
A typical post picks up 117 interactions against 432K followers, an engagement rate of 0.027%. Measured over 81 original posts, its engagement rate beats 49% of 20,444 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 15K times each, and 0.756% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.58% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 81 posts sampled, 20% carry an image or video and 22% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 26K interactions, about 219x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #appleevent, #bitcoin, #blues.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ross Gerber's engagement rate beats 49% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 40% 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 15:00 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 | 20% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 22% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 20% 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.
- 22% 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 230 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.

David Gilmour Plays “Wish You Were Here” Like a Man Who Has Lived Long Enough to Understand It There is a point in David Gilmour’s unplugged performance of “Wish You Were Here” when the song stops feeling like a piece of rock history and starts feeling strangely personal. The melody is familiar enough to belong to everyone now, but Gilmour plays it with none of the distance that usually comes with a classic being performed decades after its release. There is no attempt to recreate the scale of Pink Floyd or to turn the song into a grand retrospective. He simply sits with the guitar and lets the music occupy the room. That simplicity changes the way the song lands. When “Wish You Were Here” was released in 1975, its sense of absence was closely connected to Syd Barrett and to the growing distance between the person he had been and the band that had moved on without him. The song was written in a very specific moment, but its emotional reach turned out to be much wider. Almost anyone can hear something of their own life in the idea of looking at someone or something that is no longer within reach. The original recording even builds that feeling of distance into its opening. Gilmour’s guitar appears to come through the sound of a radio before the fuller acoustic guitar enters, creating the impression that the music is arriving from somewhere else. In the unplugged performance, that barrier is largely removed. The guitar is no longer coming through a radio or surrounded by the elaborate atmosphere of a Pink Floyd production. It is right there, close and unprotected, which makes the words feel less like part of a famous recording and more like something being remembered in real time. Gilmour’s restraint is important here. He does not need to prove that he can still play the song. The phrasing does the work. Notes are allowed to hang in the air, while the small pauses between them give the melody room to breathe. His voice carries the effects of time rather than trying to hide them, and that may be the most affecting part of the performance. The song has aged because the person singing it has aged, and the years between the original recording and this performance are suddenly part of what we hear. That gives “Wish You Were Here” another meaning. The song is still about absence, but absence changes as we grow older. It can mean a friend who disappeared from your life, a place that no longer exists, a relationship that could not survive, or simply a version of yourself that you can remember but never return to. Gilmour does not have to explain any of that. His age, his voice and the stripped-down arrangement allow the listener to bring those memories into the song. Perhaps that is why this performance feels more moving than a faithful recreation of the original ever could. Gilmour is not trying to take the listener back to 1975. He is showing what happens when a song survives for decades and gathers new meaning along the way. The melody remains almost exactly where we left it, but the person hearing it is no longer the same. And that may be the quiet power of “Wish You Were Here”: the song has stayed still long enough for all of us to change around it.

- What is Ross Gerber's engagement rate on X?
- Ross Gerber (@GerberKawasaki) has an engagement rate of 0.027%, based on the median interactions across 81 original posts from the last 30 days against 432,479 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.027%, Ross Gerber sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,956 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 @GerberKawasaki have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 49% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 @GerberKawasaki post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.17 posts per day across the measured window.
