ThePersistence engagement report
@ScottPresler - 2.5M followers on X
Measured over 129 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 18K interactions against 2.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.707%. Measured over 129 original posts, its engagement rate beats 99% of 3,899 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 136K times each, and 13.0% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.43% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 129 posts sampled, 58% carry an image or video and 7% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 230K interactions, about 13x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
ThePersistence's engagement rate beats 99% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 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 100% 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.

At 0.707%, ThePersistence sits above the 75th percentile of the 37,856 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.439% to 2.10%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 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.

I’M IN TEARS I’M SCREAMING The Pennsylvania Department of State just conducted one of its biggest purges ever. Democrats lost TENS of thousands of voters. It’s happening — it’s actually happening. Our work to clean the voter rolls is actually working. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. This is a massive, earth-shattering earthquake of epic proportions. Wait until you see how close we are to flipping Pennsylvania 🟦🔜🟥! My heart sings a tune loudly for all to hear.

It’s happening. The Census Bureau is cross-referencing the voter records against their citizenship records. They’re finding non-citizens voted illegally. Please do Pennsylvania. https://t.co/yvLoT2LA2Q

OH MY GOSH! Paula Copenhaver won! After a recount in an Indiana State Senate race, Trump-endorsed Republican Paula Copenhaver DEFEATED a lawmaker that REFUSED to redraw congressional maps. 7/8 Indiana State Senators lost! Paula won by 3 votes. EVERY VOTE COUNTS! @PaulaCopenhaver

Just inspected the non-juror list for Allegheny County, PA. @erinkoper & I discovered 4,356 non-citizens, 1,300 persons with a language barrier, & 20,658 non-residents. Now, we are painstakingly going through the list to write them down. Only Americans should be voting in our elections.

🚨MURKOWSKI PROVED WRONG🚨 @JamesOKeefeIII has done it again! He went to the remote Aleutian Islands in Alaska, where Senator Murkowski said these voters would have to travel to Anchorage just to register to vote. James visited the Unalaska Public Library & the clerk stated that voters CAN register to vote there as well as prove citizenship. This video proves that there is no reason for Senator Murkowski to be against the SAVE America Act. It makes you wonder why Murkowski is against this country-saving legislation when her voters want it.

If we were to put Flock cameras outside of every polling location & drop box in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, & Pittsburgh, democrats would unite against them.

🚨HOLY COW🚨 THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO OF 2026 @JamesOKeefeIII did an undercover operation to expose Minnesota’s corrupt vouching system. According to law, 1 registered MN voter can vouch for up to 8 persons — those 8 people do NOT need ID. 👉“You are the ID,” an Election Day Worker told O’Keefe👈 Dressed in a niqab, @camhigby showed that a transgender Muslim woman can easily be vouched for as a faceless voter without ID. There is no record for persons being vouched for. There is no system in place to stop 1 registered MN voter from vouching for 8 persons at multiple precincts. There is nothing to stop the vouching system from being abused. This is a constitutional crisis. Pass the SAVE America Act! ‼️SEND THIS VIDEO TO EVERY LEGISLATOR YOU KNOW IN AMERICA‼️

I FOUND IT! This is an Election Judge training video for Carver County, Minnesota, from 2024. “Do not ask to see an identification card.” “If a voter presents identification, thank the voter & inform them that an identification card is not required if they are registered.” “Have the voter confirm their name & address; point to the oath & have them review the oath. Instruct the voter to sign their name.” Election fraud in Minnesota is as simple as knowing someone’s name, address, & signing a signature. No ID is required. Our elections are broken. Pass the SAVE America Act! *Note: ID isn’t required if you’re registering to vote via vouching — “You are the ID.”

We must deport as many illegal aliens as possible before 2029. The 2030 Census is coming.

HOLY COW I cannot believe this is real. Everything we told you about vouching in Minnesota is correct. “A registered voter in that precinct who can personally vouch for the identity & residence of up to 8 new voters.” “A healthcare facility worker can vouch for an 👉UNLIMITED👈 number of residents of facilities that they work for regardless of where that facility worker lives.” This is from an Election Judge training video for Carver County, Minnesota.

- What is ThePersistence's engagement rate on X?
- ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) has an engagement rate of 0.707%, based on the median interactions across 129 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,500,760 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.707%, ThePersistence sits above the 75th percentile of the 37,856 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 @ScottPresler have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 99% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 accounts), which puts it in the top 10% for its size 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 @ScottPresler post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.47 posts per day across the measured window.
