A typical post picks up 107 interactions against 533K followers, an engagement rate of 0.02%. Measured over 51 original posts, its engagement rate beats 42% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

That is about 1.84% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Compared with accounts its own size
Steve Cortes's engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 53% 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 12:00 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 | 92% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 22% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 92% 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.
- 22% 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 283 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.

🚨 WOW! Sen. John Fetterman just RIPPED IN to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed (D) "He supports Sharia Law! He's pro-IRAN. And pro-HAMAS."

Next week, I’ll be sharing something that is very personal to me. This may be one of the most personal interviews I’ve done to date, and I believe it’s also one of the most important. I’ve felt a real pull to better understand the Bible and to use this platform to help bring a greater understanding of it to my audience and to people around the world. Please watch the official preview for my upcoming interview with Cardinal Burke. In this special two-part series, we’ll discuss both the Old Testament and the New Testament. @cardinalrlburke

PARADISE LOST Gavin Newsom's California Nightmare The Pacific Palisades fire tragedy was totally preventable. The failure to rebuild, since that tragedy, is inexcusable. It’s ALL the fault of Gavin Newsom. He has turned the California Dream into Newsom’s Nightmare. Under Newsom, California has the highest poverty rate in America — and amazing places like Pacific Palisades burn to ashes because of his corruption and neglect. Perhaps even worse, since that inferno there is almost zero movement on the rebuild…because of the dysfunction of Newsom and his political allies. This documentary shows you the vivid, startling images — I report on the scene with some of the brightest minds in California: @KurtSchlichter @susancrabtree @LaurenGruel @KristinairwinLA See this short film and share it — because Gavin is running for president and he wants to bring his California misery to all of America!

- What is Steve Cortes's engagement rate on X?
- Steve Cortes (@SteveCortes) has an engagement rate of 0.02%, based on the median interactions across 51 original posts from the last 30 days against 532,966 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.02%, Steve Cortes sits above the 25th percentile of the 68,716 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 @SteveCortes have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 42% 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 @SteveCortes post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.53 posts per day across the measured window.
