A typical post picks up 342 interactions against 1.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.021%. Measured over 44 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 4,179 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 153K times each, and 0.224% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.29% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 44 posts sampled, 68% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 483K interactions, about 1411x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #mffl, #fibawc, #stepitup.

Compared with accounts its own size

Marc Stein's engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,179 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 21% 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 0.021%, Marc Stein sits above the 25th percentile of the 40,429 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.013% to 0.082%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 40,429 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 91,458 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 19:00 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.

    The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to American businessman Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record breaking price over $12 billion, multiple sources told ESPN. Kushner and Iger were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year.

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Recurring topics

#mffl#fibawc#stepitup

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

What is Marc Stein's engagement rate on X?
Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) has an engagement rate of 0.021%, based on the median interactions across 44 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,647,527 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.021%, Marc Stein sits above the 25th percentile of the 40,429 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 @TheSteinLine have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,179 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 @TheSteinLine post?
Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.37 posts per day across the measured window.
