A typical post picks up 142 interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 45 original posts, its engagement rate beats 44% of 3,881 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ken Rosenthal's engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,881 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 12% 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 13:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

- What is Ken Rosenthal's engagement rate on X?
- Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 45 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,541,127 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.009%, Ken Rosenthal sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 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 @Ken_Rosenthal have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,881 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 @Ken_Rosenthal post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.37 posts per day across the measured window.
