Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.078%. Measured over 86 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% of 3,758 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 39K times each, and 2.96% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.63% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 86 posts sampled, 79% carry an image or video and 40% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Robert Reich's engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 80% 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 16:00 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.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave at least 23 times. https://t.co/t3wX09DTCN

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Good news. E. Jean Carroll spent a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world. She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won. She is one of my personal heroes. We owe her a debt of gratitude. https://t.co/Z3BMwoZtUk

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

John Roberts and the SCOTUS Republicans have allowed Trump to proceed with his egregious mail-in voting restrictions. 21 years ago, I warned at Roberts' confirmation hearing he would be a dangerously right-wing Chief Justice. I have sadly been proven right, over and over. https://t.co/24aqi1Sm9g

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace. https://t.co/zTtmyJZV7N

I've never seen anything like this. The Trump admin just granted preliminary approval of a federal bank charter to the family's crypto firm World Liberty Financial. Remember: Trump raked in almost $800 million from WLF last year. No president has used their power to profit the way Trump has.

Dolly Parton was an icon. She was a brilliant songwriter and performer. She was an incredible activist and advocate, helping to donate over 200 million free books to children. She was one of my personal heroes. This is a terrible loss. She will be greatly missed.

NEW: Big Tech claims AI data centers don’t use much water. But data centers typically report the water used inside the facilities — we found them indirectly consuming 10x that amount. We went to the drought-stricken West, where farmers now have to fight AI oligarchs for water. https://t.co/hUXC2RhTag

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.078%. Measured over 86 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% of 3,758 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 39K times each, and 2.96% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.63% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is Robert Reich's engagement rate on X?
- Robert Reich (@RBReich) has an engagement rate of 0.078%, based on the median interactions across 86 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,467,845 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.078%, Robert Reich sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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 @RBReich have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 @RBReich post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.57 posts per day across the measured window.
