Measured over 10 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 3, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.3K interactions against 346K followers, an engagement rate of 0.676%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% of 4,366 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 52K times each, and 4.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 14.9% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.43 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.7K interactions, about 3.7x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Ocean Cleanup's engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,366 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 85% 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 14:00 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.

- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.676%, The Ocean Cleanup sits above the 75th percentile of the 42,183 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.
