A typical post picks up 624 interactions against 356K followers, an engagement rate of 0.175%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 6,874 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 69K times each, and 0.898% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 19.5% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video and 38% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.7K interactions, about 4.4x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

John Spencer's engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.175%, John Spencer sits above the 50th percentile of the 66,258 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.1% to 0.499%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 66,258 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 56,968 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

  • 50% 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.
  • 38% 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 571 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

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: The FBI says it obtained information on THOUSANDS of people who contacted Hamas online trying to donate money to the terrorist organization. Newly unsealed court documents reveal how extensive this operation actually was. The FBI used confidential human sources to penetrate Hamas's fundraising network, seized websites and servers controlled by the Al Qassam Brigades, and intercepted donations intended for Hamas. Supporters were being directed through Telegram to contact an official Al Qassam email address for instructions on how to donate. Hamas would then provide cryptocurrency addresses that investigators say were frequently rotated and emptied. The FBI followed the money. One Al Qassam operational wallet identified by investigators received approximately $1.57 MILLION in USDT between October 2024 and March 2025 alone. Federal authorities ultimately seized more than $560,000 in cryptocurrency and took control of infrastructure connected to AlQassam(.)ps, Hamas's military wing's main website. The FBI says it obtained information on thousands of individuals who contacted Hamas and either donated or attempted to donate using cryptocurrency or traditional methods. DOJ says that information will now be used in future FBI counterterrorism efforts. If you recently donated to Hamas, expect a call from the @FBI. 🫡

    For far too long, Washington talked about rebuilding the Defense Industrial Base. This is what rebuilding the Arsenal of Freedom looks like. These 7-year agreements will triple PAC-3 production capacity and quadruple THAAD production capacity, giving industry the certainty to invest, expand, and deliver at scale. https://t.co/5NN86GOFu4

    At the heart of the genocide being perpetrated against innocent Palestinians today is the Islamophobic trope that *all* Palestinians must be aligned with Hamas. It’s the most murderous form of the post-9/11 lie our country told to take civil liberties from Arabs & Muslims then.

    It is deeply disappointing to see America’s senior-most representative to Israel @USAmbIsrael speak so disparagingly—and inaccurately—about Qatar, a Major Non-NATO Ally and key strategic partner of the United States. For the record, once again: Qatar has nothing to do with antisemitism or anti-Israel sentiment on American college campuses. These allegations have been examined repeatedly and have not been substantiated at all. I and many others have addressed this point, repeatedly. Before the Senate Armed Services Committee, then Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines made clear there was no evidence linking Qatar to the campus protests in question. The overwhelming majority of Qatar’s funding to these institutions supports the operation of their campuses in Qatar. These are large, fully functioning universities educating students in Qatar and across the region through American academic institutions and American educational standards. Because these are American universities, the funds generally flow through and are reported by their U.S.-based institutions. But that does not mean the money is being spent to influence students or political discourse on campuses in the United States. Once the costs associated with operating these campuses in Qatar are separated from the headline figures, Qatar’s direct philanthropic giving to universities inside the United States is comparatively limited. @StateDept_NEA

    A critical warning of what happens with human rights lawyers/activists convince a government to go after soldiers. "SAS chief: Army witch hunts put Britain at risk...the use of human rights law to pursue soldiers for their actions on the battlefield." https://t.co/muN6u0lyQS Lawyers, including Sir Keir Starmer when he was a barrister before entering politics, have used the European Convention on Human Rights to compel the Government to investigate the use of force by its soldiers abroad.

    "Ernest Hemingway couldn't have made up the real life of John Spencer. Facing Bullets, Bombs, and Bees (yes, bees, he was actually attacked by killer bees), Spencer writes about his adventures with humility, relatability, and humor. this book will leave you hungry for the next time he almost dies." -- Max Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of World War Z, Devolution, and the official Minecraft novels. https://t.co/vMqp6kK6eA

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 624 interactions against 356K followers, an engagement rate of 0.175%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 6,874 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 69K times each, and 0.898% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 19.5% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video and 38% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.7K interactions, about 4.4x its own typical post.

What is John Spencer's engagement rate on X?
John Spencer (@SpencerGuard) has an engagement rate of 0.175%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 356,483 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.175%, John Spencer sits above the 50th percentile of the 66,258 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 @SpencerGuard have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 @SpencerGuard post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.63 posts per day across the measured window.
