A typical post picks up 377 interactions against 433K followers, an engagement rate of 0.087%. Measured over 17 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% 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 40K times each, and 0.937% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.30% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 17 posts sampled, 35% carry an image or video, 18% are part of a thread and 71% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.1K interactions, about 8.1x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #toeslagenschandaal, #breaking.

Compared with accounts its own size

Pieter Omtzigt's engagement rate beats 68% 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 46% 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 0.087%, Pieter Omtzigt sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,491 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 204,491 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday 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: 07:00 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 video35% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link71% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-no effect-2% to -1%42K
  • 35% 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.
  • 71% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 262 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.

    Afgelopen oktober heb ik mijn nieuwe eenmanszaak Equità ingeschreven bij de Kamer van Koophandel. Gewoon omdat ik zin heb om weer aan de slag te gaan en me bezig te houden met maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Dat zijn vaak dezelfde vraagstukken die me ook in mijn politieke carrière interesseerden: de rechtsstaat in Europa, demografie en AI. Ik heb me ingeschreven voor onderzoek en voor spreekbeurten. De eerste onderzoeksklus doe ik bij IKT Twente: een overzicht maken van de initiatieven op AI-gebied in Twente, bij onderwijs, overheid en het bedrijfsleven en een plan hoe dat uit te bouwen. Dit is een project van de Twenteboard. Het is een beetje in het verlengde van eerder werk dat ik deed als econometrist en als ondervoorzitter van de subcommissie AI in de Raad van Europa. Dit werk heb ik in alle rust gedaan totdat RTL mijn inschrijving bij de KvK zag deze week. Werk op de achtergrond beviel ook even best goed na 22 jaar in de schijnwerpers en onder druk in Den Haag en in de Raad van Europa. https://t.co/VAj3Ke4ncP

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

What is Pieter Omtzigt's engagement rate on X?
Pieter Omtzigt (@PieterOmtzigt) has an engagement rate of 0.087%, based on the median interactions across 17 original posts from the last 30 days against 432,888 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.087%, Pieter Omtzigt sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,491 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 @PieterOmtzigt have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 68% 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 @PieterOmtzigt post?
Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.43 posts per day across the measured window.
