Engagement
A typical post picks up 134 interactions against 833K followers, an engagement rate of 0.016%. Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 41% of 21,185 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 15K times each, and 0.904% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.78% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 42 posts sampled, 74% carry an image or video and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 85x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Senator Tim Scott's engagement rate beats 41% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 44% 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 Friday 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.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 74% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 17% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 74% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 17% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 259 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

BREAKING: More than 1,000 sham marriages and a decade-long operation to allegedly game the U.S. immigration system are in the DOJ's crosshairs. Attorney General Todd Blanche announces the arrests of 11 people accused of overseeing what he calls one of the largest marriage fraud schemes ever prosecuted in the United States. Prosecutors say the multimillion-dollar operation paired Chinese nationals with U.S. citizens in fraudulent marriages, then submitted applications for green cards. "This scheme was not a quick fly-by-night operation, but rather a years-long, multimillion dollar cottage industry to criminally assist people who would not, or legally could not, otherwise become citizens of the United States."

Today, nearly all Senate Republicans voted to advance the Clarity Act, but the motion fell short because of Senate Democrats. We moved the ball forward, and now it’s time for the @SECGov and @CFTC to set clear rules of the road for digital assets until Congress legislates. My focus remains on single moms and Americans living in poverty, like I did growing up. I’ll keep working to protect their hard-earned money and keep the future of finance here in America.

The greatest lessons Lindsey taught weren't spoken - they were lived. God doesn’t intend for us to be carbon copies. Lindsey was an original, and he remained true to himself. May we honor his legacy by living with purpose, courage, and conviction. https://t.co/2OxhMXXbIt

The hearts and prayers of South Carolinians are with the family of the fallen Columbia police officer who made the ultimate sacrifice serving and protecting others. We also pray for the full recovery of the injured officers and ask God to watch over their fellow officers and comfort those who are grieving.

Dolly Parton’s legacy reaches far beyond music. She believed in giving children the opportunity to dream, learn, and succeed. Her commitment to education and generosity were evident from her Imagination Library, which helped place books in the hands of more kids, to her assistance with Union Medical Center’s renovation in the Upstate, an area her mother once called home. Her lasting contributions will continue to inspire the next generation to dream big.

- What is Senator Tim Scott's engagement rate on X?
- Senator Tim Scott (@SenatorTimScott) has an engagement rate of 0.016%, based on the median interactions across 42 original posts from the last 30 days against 833,266 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.016%, Senator Tim Scott sits above the 10th percentile of the 213,186 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 @SenatorTimScott have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 41% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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.
