A typical post picks up 263 interactions against 351K followers, an engagement rate of 0.075%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% 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 26K times each, and 1.02% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.33% 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, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 32 posts sampled, 38% carry an image or video and 16% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 44K interactions, about 169x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Rich Baris THE PEOPLE'S PUNDIT's engagement rate beats 66% 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 48% 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 0.075%, Rich Baris THE PEOPLE'S PUNDIT sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,956 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 204,956 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 01:00 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 01:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video38% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 38% 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.
  • 16% 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 260 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.

    On average, Boomers are getting paid more from Social Security than they “paid into it.” A lot more. Like double, and that’s counting inflation and interest. In raw dollars, they’ll get four to seven times what they paid in. So what about this compromise, to at least stave off insolvency and save billions: you get back what you paid in, but no more. Young families won’t be forced to finance a 250 percent return on your “investment.” That seems extremely reasonable, doesn’t it? It doesn’t go nearly as far as I would like. But it’s a very fair compromise. It completely negates any claim that you didn’t get the money back that you “paid in.” And yet I suspect that this comprise will not be satisfactory. Why is that? Because this debate actually has nothing to do with “getting back what you paid in.” The REAL demand is for a lot more than that.

    Axios: A pollster says they are having a hard time getting Republican voters to respond to polls, and says that might mean they may not vote “We're having problems just getting Republican voters to respond to polls… At what point do we think these guys aren't showing up at the actual polls on Election Day?”

    Thank @lisamurkowski for @SarahPalinUSA being defeated. Soon, Lisa will go down too. She did this so that she could protect herself vs. primary challenges. She gave Alaska and its energy industry to Democrats. Stupid. Maybe @benshapiro hold their hanky? Ben, you have a rag?

    I'm a pollster. Not an influencer. I can only tell you all this, many of whom I care about and are friends. Ben Shapiro and Israel First have already lost. Even the Israeli Government knows that. It's not going to reverse. Not ever. Not after this. America will never forgive.

    I’m getting increasingly confident that Republicans are winning Maine and Iowa, which gets them to 49 seats in the Senate. Then, any one of Texas, Alaska, Ohio, Michigan, or New Hampshire gets them a majority.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 263 interactions against 351K followers, an engagement rate of 0.075%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% 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 26K times each, and 1.02% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.33% 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, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week.

What is Rich Baris THE PEOPLE'S PUNDIT's engagement rate on X?
Rich Baris THE PEOPLE'S PUNDIT (@Peoples_Pundit) has an engagement rate of 0.075%, based on the median interactions across 32 original posts from the last 30 days against 351,327 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.075%, Rich Baris THE PEOPLE'S PUNDIT 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 @Peoples_Pundit have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 66% 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 @Peoples_Pundit post?
Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.2 posts per day across the measured window.
