Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 61% of 3,829 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 47K times each, and 1.29% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 12.3% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Of the 9 posts sampled, 89% carry an image or video and 11% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 31K interactions, about 52x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D's engagement rate beats 61% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 49% 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 17:00 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.

Several years ago, I was doing some research into a story about a Facebook AI experiment that was shut down in 2017 after the AI bots developed a “secret language” and started talking to each other in a way that humans couldn’t understand. This story has since taken a weird turn. At the time I was doing that research, I read literally every publicly available article and document about the experiment. I clearly remember specific details from some of these articles (and somewhere buried in my files, I have dozens of screenshots, at least), and at the time, it was reported that the experiment had been shut down because of fears of a rogue AI system or something like that emerging. But when I search for articles about it today, only a handful of the original articles are still indexed on Google. Most of the articles I read a few years ago are nowhere to be found. Even weirder, most of the original articles that were published in 2017 were “updated” in 2020 and 2021 to say that, actually, the secret language that the AI bots developed and deployed without human involvement was NOT the reason the experiment was shut down. Apparently it took 3-4 years to announce that? There have also been a handful of new articles published from 2020-2025 (so, 3-8 years after the fact) that attempt to characterize the original reporting as hysteria and “clickbait”. If the initial story wasn’t correct, why did it take YEARS for Facebook to say so? And why did so many articles get de-indexed on Google? I’ve never seen anything like this before.

- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.16%, Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,214 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 @RVAwonk have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 61% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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.
