Caitlin Johnstone engagement report
@caitoz - 472K followers on X
Measured over 10 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.0K interactions against 472K followers, an engagement rate of 0.428%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 90% of 21,185 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 38K times each, and 5.35% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.99% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 60% carry an image or video and 10% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 70K interactions, about 35x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Caitlin Johnstone's engagement rate beats 90% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 91% 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.

At 0.428%, Caitlin Johnstone sits above the 50th percentile of the 212,656 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.146% to 0.697%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 01:00 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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 60% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 10% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 60% 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.
- 10% 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 1101 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.

My first encounter with Israelis was when I was backpacking through South America in my twenties, and I remember being shocked by how consistently awful they all were. I guess after their mandatory military service they tend to go traveling for a bit, and whenever I'd run into them they were reliably some of the nastiest people I'd ever encountered. They weren't ever nasty to me, though. I am a white westerner, and I never had a problem with them. They were nasty to the impoverished brown-skinned people who were hosting us. They were obnoxious and bullying toward local guides, they'd leave the place in a mess, and they were always trying to screw over the locals for a better deal or extra meals or favors. One time they tricked a hostel into putting up a sign in Hebrew for other Israeli backpackers which said ugly things about our hosts (they told the hostel owner it was a great review), which I only know because they were laughing hysterically about it and told me. They consistently treated the people who were looking after us like they were much lesser than us. Their pushiness and entitlement were just unbelievable. It was a very educational experience for me. I knew the Palestinians were being treated unfairly because my father had told me so, but I also had a great love of Jews and Jewish culture. I had visited Auschwitz and Dachau and Anne Frank's house in my travels, and I remember having some romantic ideas about kibbutzim. This was my first time directly encountering the reality that there is something unhealthy about Israeli society. Not Jews or Jewish culture, but Jewish Israelis. Now I see evidence of this on my news feed every day, in the IDF soldiers prancing around in the undergarments of dead and displaced Palestinian women, in the AI translations of Hebrew tweets, in the polls which show widespread Israeli approval for the atrocities in Gaza, in Israeli TikTok videos mocking the suffering of the Palestinians, in the Israelis showing up in my comments justifying the worst things in the world in the most depraved ways imaginable. My encounters with Israelis in South America were an early taste of ugly things to come. Everything I glimpsed then I've been seeing online over the past year. I keep thinking about those obnoxious pricks I met all those years ago, and about how they didn't know at the time that they were giving me very useful information for me to make use of in the future. When Israel supporters tell you to shut up about Gaza until you've been to Israel and met Israelis, just ignore them. Don't go to Israel; you're a westerner, they'll be nice to you. Go to one of the tourist spots in the global south that Israelis like to visit, one with lots of brown-skinned people who've been colonized by the west, and watch how they treat people there. That will show you what Israelis are really like.

This whole Macklemore situation is so spiritually Palestinian. Ed Sheeran became one of the biggest musicians in the world by writing good music, he built an audience, and people spend hundreds of dollars to come hear his music. Macklemore gets invited onto that stage and decides to hijack Ed Sheeran’s concert for his political rally. Ed built the stage and brought the audience, and Macklemore decided he was entitled to commandeer it for his demented cause. And when Ed Sheeran tells him this is a concert, not a political rally, and he doesn’t want to take sides, he becomes the villain. This is Palestinianism. You build nothing. You bite the hand that feeds you. You leech onto things other people built and destroy them. These parasites have hijacked every institution, every cultural event, everything other people built, and feel entitled to selfishly destroy it for their tribal clan politics.

The reason everyone stopped caring about October 7 is because Israel just spent three years showing the world all the murderousness, sadism and racism which caused October 7 to happen.

Europeans stopped fighting constant wars with each other like ten seconds ago and yet the average white westerner will tell you "the middle east has always been at war so all the bloodshed there is an unsolvable mystery".

The more the world hates Israel the more we get told that "antisemitism" is some worldwide prejudice baked into every facet of our society like misogyny or white supremacy. Most non-Jews spend very little time thinking about Jews and Judaism (and spent even less prior to 2023), but we're now being told that this is actually a massive condition which affects us all in ways we might not be fully conscious of. And it's so funny because, like, I'm me. I know my own thoughts and feelings. I know I rarely thought about Jewishness at all until a live-streamed genocide began and people started calling me an antisemite for opposing it. And the same is true of the overwhelming majority of non-Jews throughout our society. We all know we don't "hate Jews" or have any special feelings about them one way or the other, but we're being aggressively told to believe this is a major problem we all have. We're being told to disbelieve our own knowledge of our own thoughts and feelings, and trust that there is actually something closeted deep inside us which secretly hates the members of a small Abrahamic faith. It's a really obnoxious form of gaslighting, if you think about it. It's not okay to do that to people.

"I don't pick sides" is a fallacy when there's a massive power imbalance and a clear aggressor. If your husband is abusing your child and you do nothing, you're not neutral in that scenario, and when your kid grows up you'll probably be blamed as much as the father. A modern military force hammering a giant concentration camp full of colonized people using high-tech weapons of mass murder with the help of your tax dollars is not a "war" that you get to be "neutral" towards. It's a genocide, and you're either for it or against it. There is no comfortable third option where you get to avoid picking a side and also avoid looking like an asshole.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 2.0K interactions against 472K followers, an engagement rate of 0.428%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 90% of 21,185 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 38K times each, and 5.35% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.99% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is Caitlin Johnstone's engagement rate on X?
- Caitlin Johnstone (@caitoz) has an engagement rate of 0.428%, based on the median interactions across 10 original posts from the last 30 days against 471,607 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.428%, Caitlin Johnstone sits above the 50th percentile of the 212,656 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 @caitoz have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 90% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 @caitoz post?
- Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.03 posts per day across the measured window.
