A typical post picks up 1.9K interactions against 1.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.114%. Measured over 96 original posts, its engagement rate beats 86% of 3,758 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 68K times each, and 2.71% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.19% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 15.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 96 posts sampled, 54% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 26% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 44K interactions, about 24x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ettd, #b, #butthurtbarbie.

Compared with accounts its own size

Rick Wilson's engagement rate beats 86% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 84% 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 0.114%, Rick Wilson sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.432%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,378 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

    Today, Romania destroyed a naval drone carrying explosives near its Neptun Deep platform in the Black Sea. An escalating campaign of threats is underway, unsettling our citizens and seeking to divide our Union. This is hybrid warfare. The founding mission of our Union is to preserve peace. Today, that also means having the capacity to deter provocation and aggression. Our Readiness 2030 agenda is mobilising up to EUR 800 billion. With the European Drone Defence Initiative and the Eastern Flank Watch, we are scaling up production in Europe to deliver capabilities Member States need. So we can respond to emerging threats with speed, unity and resolve.
