A typical post picks up 0 interactions against 740K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 118 original posts, its engagement rate beats 0% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 524 times each, and 0% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.071% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 118 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video and 97% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 151 interactions. Recurring topics include #nstnation, #nstsports, #nstworld.

Compared with accounts its own size

New Straits Times's engagement rate beats 0% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 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 0% 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%, New Straits Times sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,960 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,518 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

What is New Straits Times's engagement rate on X?
New Straits Times (@NST_Online) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 118 original posts from the last 30 days against 739,568 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0%, New Straits Times sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,960 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 @NST_Online have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 0% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size 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 @NST_Online post?
Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 4 posts per day across the measured window.
