A typical post picks up 43 interactions against 634K followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 80 original posts, its engagement rate beats 29% of 20,444 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 3.8K times each, and 1.14% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.593% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 80 posts sampled, 90% carry an image or video and 93% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.1K interactions, about 48x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #cuervoingenuo, #elfaromensual, #entregaextra.

Compared with accounts its own size

El Faro's engagement rate beats 29% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 51% 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 0.007%, El Faro sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,694 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,880 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 18:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video90% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link93% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 90% 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.
  • 93% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 402 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.

    💸Televisión Azteca, del empresario mexicano Ricardo Salinas Pliego, reordenó parte de su deuda con un préstamo de $290 millones otorgado por AlterBank, un banco de Santa Lucía que pertenece a dos empresarios venezolanos vinculados al entorno de Nayib Bukele. Cuando participó en esta operación, AlterBank tenía apenas tres empleados y $4 millones de capital. El Faro y @ArmandoInfo seguimos el rastro de este banco, sus propietarios y la operación financiera que lo conectó con una de las empresas de Salinas Pliego.

    "Si Bukele quiere demostrar que su propio pueblo lo quiere, que libere a todos los presos políticos, que permita elecciones libres y justas, que permita el regreso de periodistas exiliados y que la sociedad civil trabaje sin miedo a ser detenida o torturada. Si quiere demostrar que es demócrata, debería levantar el régimen de excepción", señala el abogado internacional Jared Genser. https://t.co/pzP89ckNnD

    ARCHIVO | La Corte de Cuentas inició un juicio contra el exministro de Agricultura, Pablo Anliker, reclamándole un monto de $133 millones de dólares. La cifra incluye compras sin respaldo, $20.4 millones en leche, pollo y atún de los que no hay evidencia que el MAG recibiera. También se cuestionan $2.5 millones transferidos a una empresa fantasma para armar canastas de alimentos, trabajo que realmente hicieron voluntarios y miembros de la Fuerza Armada.

    El Gobierno de Bukele celebró la captura en México de Remberto Colindres, alias “Liro”, señalado como líder del Barrio 18. Antes de salir de El Salvador, Liro dijo a El Faro que funcionarios, entre ellos Carlos Marroquín, lo ayudaron a escapar. Su caso se suma a otros líderes pandilleros favorecidos durante las negociaciones secretas. https://t.co/E5eTtIuXBP

    Reportes de prensa indican que detrás de los ataques de aviones que salieron de El Salvador a barcos pesqueros ecuatorianos en el Pacífico, a inicios de año, está envuelta la CIA. Una fuente dijo que se trata de una operación secreta que se desarrolla en el extranjero aprobada por el presidente de los Estados Unidos, pero en la que no se reconoce públicamente la participación del gobierno estadounidense. https://t.co/TZ84Dmf8dx

What is El Faro's engagement rate on X?
El Faro (@_elfaro_) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 80 original posts from the last 30 days against 634,084 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.007%, El Faro sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,694 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 @_elfaro_ have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 29% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 @_elfaro_ post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.13 posts per day across the measured window.
