A typical post picks up 8.4K interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.502%. Measured over 43 original posts, its engagement rate beats 97% of 4,199 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 376K times each, and 2.23% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 22.5% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 43 posts sampled, 74% carry an image or video and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 346K interactions, about 41x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #savegirlsbathrooms, #savegirlssports, #xx.

Compared with accounts its own size

Riley Gaines's engagement rate beats 97% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,199 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 78% 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 0.502%, Riley Gaines sits above the 75th percentile of the 40,619 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.443% to 2.07%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 40,619 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 91,008 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    Fever coach, Stephanie White, defends DiJonai Carrington. You would never see this in the NBA. Or any professional men's league. No men's coach would defend the player & team who assaulted one of their own, even if it was justified. They just wouldn't. https://t.co/lC1MASDvgq

    🚨 I Invite Cathy Engelbert to Come Milk My BULL @Riley_Gaines_ : “If you have to have a meeting to figure out what a woman is, then you’re not fit to lead an organization… I’ve got a farm, and on my farm I have a heifer, and I have a bull. If Cathy Engelbert is confused about gender, I would invite her to come milk my bull and see how well that works for her.”
