Cenk Uygur engagement report
@cenkuygur - 896K followers on X
Measured over 32 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.0K interactions against 896K followers, an engagement rate of 0.218%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 82% 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 56K times each, and 3.48% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.25% 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 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 32 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video, 34% are part of a thread and 19% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 27K interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Cenk Uygur's engagement rate beats 82% 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 82% 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 21:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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 | 19% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 19% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 19% 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.
- 19% 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 293 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.

Trump says Kennedy Center can’t re-open unless his name is on it. Has there ever been a more petty bitch?

Congrats, Israel! We're back into full-scale war with Iran. They did it again! In a wild coincidence, in a government stuffed with hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes from Israeli lobby, we're doing exacty what Israel wants. More dead Americans and billions wasted to come!

I just talked to Jewish-American and Muslim-American doctors who were in Gaza and featured in the movie American Doctor. They explained how many kids were shot in the head and chest by Israeli snipers. They're murdering the kids on purpose. 83% of American doctors who went to Gaza reported a child assassinated by a sniper with either a head or chest shot - every single day they were there. They're murdering the children on purpose. One of the doctors explained that when Israel surrounds a hospital, bombs it, raids it and shuts it down, they purposely destroy all the life saving equipment. In the hospital he was in, they destroyed the incubators, and eight babies died without them. We are being forced to finance a fascist country committing a genocide, while the monsters in our government and media pretend it isn't happening.

I've never seen anything like this Michigan race. The Democratic Party is attacking its own candidate! In an absolutely pivotal race! I've seen more Democrats on TV attacking @AbdulElSayed than I've seen Democrats taking on GOP. Dems are attacking him more than Republicans are!

Trump is planning to give Israel another $2.8 billion in bombs! This is 100% PAID FOR BY US TAXPAYERS! And these are “genocide bombs” - 2,000 pound bombs that destroy entire civilian buildings at a time. 40,000 of them! WHY ARE WE BEING FORCED TO PAY FOR THEIR GENOCIDE? Fuck No!!

It’d be easy for me to criticize and ridicule @laurenboebert over the sexual allegations against her. Instead, I’ll point out she was one of four Republicans who originally voted to release the Epstein Files. Those people got put on a permanent list for political destruction.

If tomorrow we weren't allies with Israel, all of our wars in the Middle East would end immediately. Remind me again how being allies with the bullies of the region who oppress and humiliate their neighbors is helpful to American interests. Why is this fiction pushed on us 24/7?

If someone told you God whispered in their ear 3,000 years ago that all of your stuff actually belonged to them, and that they had to drive you out of your home and take it for themselves, you'd call the police because you're talking to a dangerous psycopath.

Saudi Arabia is pissed we’re not helping them when they’re under attack by the Houthis and others. They made the dumb, dumb mistake of thinking we would help anyone but Israel. Do they not know our government isn’t our own? We serve Israel over our own citizens, let alone Saudis.

Haley Stevens just called Bernie Sanders a jihadi against Jews. He's Jewish, she's not. This is one of my favorite predictions, I said that by the end of the 2020 campaign, they'd call Bernie an antisemite. And, of course, they did. Because that pony only has one trick.
