Engagement
A typical post picks up 417 interactions against 481K followers, an engagement rate of 0.087%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% of 3,792 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 170K times each, and 0.245% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 35.4% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.73 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 56% carry an image or video and 11% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 82K interactions, about 197x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Xavier Sala-i-Martin's engagement rate beats 66% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 20% 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 17:00 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.

🚨 FACTO INDEBATIBLE: Por primera vez en la historia, el partido del tercer lugar importa más que la final del Mundial. https://t.co/eBMPQxpCqw

El Atleti será, por tercer Mundial consecutivo, el club con más jugadores en la final ❤️🤍 Además, firmaremos la mayor representación de un equipo en una final de la Copa del Mundo desde Italia 1934 y la mayor presencia de un club español en el partido por el título en toda la historia 🌍🏆

1. After thousands of migrants crossed into Ceuta from Morocco this week, Italy threatened to “suspend Schengen with Spain.” It just can’t. Under EU law, no Member State can unilaterally suspend another’s participation in Schengen.

Da mucho asco lo de este mundial. La expulsión de Embolo merece una acción generalizada para que esta vergüenza en favor de Messi y Argentina se acabe de una vez. Vámonos todos. Son una banda organizada dispuesta a cualquier cosa!!!!

Cuando Francia ganó el Mundial, The Washington Post publicó una tribuna que recuerdo muy bien, y que recibió numerosos elogios, con este titular: «África ganó el Mundial». Años después hizo la misma broma el humorista Trevor Noah, que no es precisamente tildado de fascista ultramontano. Menos fingir desmayos y más sentido del humor. https://t.co/BcPDXnQXg7

Thirteen years ago, a quick email exchange with @JeffDean brought me to @Google. After an unforgettable journey from Brain, to DeepMind, and to @GoogleDeepMind, working on seq2seq or distillation, and co-leading huge projects such as AlphaStar, and Gemini, I'm saying goodbye to GDM. The best part? The same person who brought me in is challenging me to take the next leap. Excited to build Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI) alongside @JeffDean, @quocleix, and @Sanjay_Ghemawat Deeply grateful to everyone who made GDM feel like home. Time to try something new and to keep it drastic! ✨♾

Enhorabuena al Real Madrid: después del trofeo Pichichi "al club más goleador del mundial", en dos días sus estrellas Killian Mbappé i Jude Belingham (o Belingang como dicen ellos) han ganado sendos balones de playa. https://t.co/K3XWDjOZja

- What is Xavier Sala-i-Martin's engagement rate on X?
- Xavier Sala-i-Martin (@XSalaimartin) has an engagement rate of 0.087%, based on the median interactions across 9 original posts from the last 30 days against 481,072 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.087%, Xavier Sala-i-Martin sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,759 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 @XSalaimartin have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 66% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 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 @XSalaimartin post?
- Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.73 posts per day across the measured window.
