A typical post picks up 58 interactions against 642K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 30% of 4,594 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 7.2K times each, and 0.811% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.11% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 27 posts sampled, 37% are part of a thread and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.8K interactions, about 32x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Richard W. Painter's engagement rate beats 30% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,594 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 45% 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 44,444 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 82,832 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 00:00 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.

    Hasan Piker has crossed the line between criticizing the Israeli government and publicly attacking American Jews who support Israel's right to exist. He is a bigot. Any politician who associates with him should be voted down in November. https://t.co/15r5vQXhmw

    This bill has the right objective but the wrong prohibition. The law should bar all federal officials, including the president, from posting nonpublic government information on any social media platform that sells preferential access for trading. https://t.co/OfAzp4jsXM

    Art and music schools where Jeffrey Epstein had close ties have had many separate incidents of sexual abuse on campus. This includes Interlochen in Michigan and @BardCollege in New York. That is why many of us are demanding INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS. https://t.co/aCz5LDO6Yd

    As I argue here, the Supreme Court should grant cert. in the second E. Jean Carroll case. In a wide range of contexts civil and criminal, it is now vitally important that the Court define the difference between personal and official acts of the president. https://t.co/Pv36aaOidC

Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 30% of 4,594 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

What is Richard W. Painter's engagement rate on X?
Richard W. Painter (@RWPUSA) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 27 original posts from the last 30 days against 642,438 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.009%, Richard W. Painter sits above the 10th percentile of the 44,444 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 @RWPUSA have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 30% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,594 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 @RWPUSA post?
Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.3 posts per day across the measured window.
