A typical post picks up 6.2K interactions against 4.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.15%. Measured over 660 original posts, its engagement rate beats 77% of 20,182 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 119K times each, and 5.21% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.87% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 28.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 660 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video, 7% are part of a thread and 15% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 398K interactions, about 62x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Benny Johnson's engagement rate beats 77% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 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 90% 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 0.15%, Benny Johnson sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,491 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.677%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,491 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 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 Thursday 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 video86% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link15% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 86% 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.
  • 15% 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 348 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.

    🚨How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery? This is insane. We investigated. Check this out… Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is ‘eStCru LLC.’ In 2023 it was valued at $15k. In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million (!!!) This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. Except… the winery does not even exist: - No phone line - No physical winery - Social media gone dark - A barely functional ‘website’ - No wine lol What is this?! It gets worse: Omar’s third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it’s all fraudulent. This is on brand. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison previously worked with Mynett, the same AG who has REFUSED to investigate widespread Somali fraud. How does a nonexistent winery jump from $15k to $5 million in one year when the company is a ghost? How can Omar claim this fake company provides her millions in assets? Seems like a cover. Ironically, one of the wine labels they made was literally called ‘The Devil‘s Lie’ The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress MUST investigate this fraud further.

    A British TV host just SNAPPED on air on the U.K. Government for ignoring clear links between mass immigration and terrorism. “Let me teach you a thing or two in case you don’t get it yet. I would imagine that whatever has gone down near that base, the people who done it, probably came into the country from somewhere else and came there specifically to do whatever it is they were planning to do” Look at the men who were caught trying to bomb RAF Fairford air base. Do they look “British” to you? It doesn’t take a genius to see that they are third worlders. Everyone is sick of being betrayed by their own leaders with suicidal immigration policies. Enough. https://t.co/Viq2ldzN4h

    Thousands of Spanish Patriots Have Had Enough of the muslim Invaders in Ceuta. Citizens in Ceuta are driving out the invaders, burning the migrant camps, and blocking NGO aid supplies. They are doing what their government refuses to do: putting their citizens first. This is incredible.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 6.2K interactions against 4.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.15%. Measured over 660 original posts, its engagement rate beats 77% of 20,182 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 119K times each, and 5.21% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.87% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 28.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 660 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video, 7% are part of a thread and 15% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 398K interactions, about 62x its own typical post.

What is Benny Johnson's engagement rate on X?
Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) has an engagement rate of 0.15%, based on the median interactions across 660 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,155,549 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.15%, Benny Johnson sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,491 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 @bennyjohnson have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 77% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size 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 @bennyjohnson post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 28.5 posts per day across the measured window.
