A typical post picks up 113 interactions against 218K followers, an engagement rate of 0.052%. Measured over 53 original posts, its engagement rate beats 47% 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 8.9K times each, and 1.26% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.10% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 53 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video and 25% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 90x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Riley Read-Only's engagement rate beats 47% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 49% 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 0.052%, Riley Read-Only sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,048 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 04:00 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. 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.

  • 19% 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.
  • 2% 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 140 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below 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.

    One of Israel’s biggest potential technology deals has collapsed after the founders refused to move their company and Israeli team to America. Anthropic, the American company behind Claude and one of ChatGPT’s biggest rivals, was preparing to purchase Israeli AI company Decart for approximately $6 billion. The companies had signed an early agreement and completed weeks of serious negotiations. Sources close to Decart say Anthropic wanted founders Dean and Orian Leitersdorf, Moshe Shalev and the company’s leading talent moved from Tel Aviv to San Francisco. Its plans reportedly included relocating approximately 100 employees from Decart’s Israeli development center. The founders refused. They preferred to keep building their company and employing its team in Israel, even though the sale could have made each of them a billionaire. The three founders are estimated to own approximately 64 percent of Decart together. At the proposed $6 billion price, their combined shares would have been worth nearly $4 billion, with each founder potentially receiving between $1 billion and $1.5 billion, mostly through Anthropic shares. Decart was established in 2023 by young Israeli technology leaders who emerged from the IDF’s Unit 8200. The company creates technology that helps powerful AI systems operate faster while using expensive computer chips more efficiently. It raised $300 million in May at a valuation of nearly $4 billion, bringing its total funding above $450 million. Bloomberg reported that Anthropic ended the acquisition talks after examining Decart’s technology and business. Neither company has publicly explained the decision, but sources close to Decart identified Anthropic’s relocation demand as the main obstacle. The $6 billion sale may be gone, but Decart remains independent, its technology remains Israeli and its team remains in Israel.

    let me seriously contribute to the hot tech girl discourse, as a middle aged woman in tech: appearance and presentation is one of the small disproportionate points of leverage young women have in an industry that’s extremely hostile to them otherwise. and even then: it’s not always a good trade. I’ve told this story many times, but the reason I didn’t get my CS degree many, many moons ago (including a scholarship to CMU!) is I walked into room after room where no one looked like me. Not only were there no women, but there wasn’t anyone who seemingly cared at all about style or charm. The room might as well said: no hot girls allowed. 20 years in tech and startups and hot girl commentary has been inescapable. Watching men wonder out loud if the female SWE interviewing is hot. The uniform hotness of enterprise sales reps. The Botox, boob jobs, eyelash extensions, and impressively toned arms on 50+ yo female executives. The cutie pie devx yt streamers. The “new to SF” posters. But before you envy the hot girl (or complain about her rising leverage) also trust this: looks are — on the whole — a miserable downside to being a woman in tech. She will be told she’s only in the room because she’s hot. She will be dismissed as vapid, or preying on men, or needy for attention. She’ll be asked to go on stage or in a booth or on a video in a way that doesn’t make her feel great. She’ll look good for her age and people will presume she’s inexperienced. She will have not-hot days and be told she looks tired. She will be newly pregnant or postpartum and be called fat. She will grow old and wonder if the Botox and boob job and eyelash extensions will give her another decade in the career that she loves. She will tune her “touch up my appearance” settings like her job depends on it. She will wonder when she needs to disappear. So be kind—to these women, and yourself. These girls are hot, but they’re also smart, hard working, and hyper aware this tool probably has a shelf life. It’s probably not as fun as it seems. They have feelings, too (even if they’re tough as nails and don’t show it.) And to the sisterhood of hot tech girls: I salute you! 💅

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 113 interactions against 218K followers, an engagement rate of 0.052%. Measured over 53 original posts, its engagement rate beats 47% 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 8.9K times each, and 1.26% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.10% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 53 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video and 25% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 90x its own typical post.

What is Riley Read-Only's engagement rate on X?
Riley Read-Only (@HotForMoot) has an engagement rate of 0.052%, based on the median interactions across 53 original posts from the last 30 days against 217,853 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.052%, Riley Read-Only sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 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 @HotForMoot have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 47% 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 @HotForMoot post?
Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.2 posts per day across the measured window.
