A typical post picks up 690 interactions against 272K followers, an engagement rate of 0.253%. Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 75% of 20,444 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 18K times each, and 3.89% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.53% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 16 posts sampled, 44% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 31% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 20x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Adam Housley's engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 81% 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 0.253%, Adam Housley sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.678%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,374 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,897 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Saturday 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: 20:00 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 video44% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 44% 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.
  • 31% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 179 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below 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.

    FDNY Firefighter Gary Box, Squad 1. On 9/11 he ran through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel toward the World Trade Center after his truck was stuck in traffic. Last photo of him. Remains never recovered. Family found this picture almost nine years later. A hero. Tell your kids. This why WE WILL NEVER FORGET! 🙏🇺🇸

    3,000 people weren’t “lost” or “died”…they were murdered. They were innocent civilians whose lives were stolen by murdering, cowardly, terrorists. Semantics matter. 25 years later don’t let them change the semantics.

    Just a reminder…the investigation into Gavin Newsom and his wife began in 2021 during the Biden Admin and continues to expand in multiple directions. Despite his claim this is a political witch hunt. The facts don’t match his clam.

    Twelve-year-old Kylie never knew her grandfather, retired FDNY Captain James J. Corrigan. But she grew up knowing his story. On September 11, 2001, Captain Corrigan helped lead 20 children from a nearby day care center to safety before losing his life in the collapse of the South Tower. At last year’s commemoration ceremony, Kylie honored her grandfather by reading his name aloud. “We love you so much, and we miss you so much.” As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the lives of those who served—and the generations who continue to carry their stories forward.
