A typical post picks up 83 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.008%. Measured over 68 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Of the 68 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video, 10% are part of a thread and 12% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 36K interactions, about 429x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Charles V Payne's engagement rate beats 31% 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 24% 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 18:00 UTC, and Monday 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 | 12% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 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.
- 12% 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 174 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.

So Jacob Coxon, who dramatically resigned from Anthropic yesterday, worked there for a grand total of six weeks. He started with them in July. All of his socials appeared yest. It has all the signs of a highly coordinated op through doomer mega donors and the corporate media.

United Airline’s CEO took home $32.3 million last year and now wants a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes “close to 100 percent.” Scott, nobody’s stopping you. U.S. Treasury has a webpage for gifts to pay down the debt. Go for it! You don't need the government to force you to do what you can already do.

Good morning, I hope everyone is doing well and ready to do even better. I had long-overdue hernia surgery on Monday. I'm doing fine and hope to be back in the saddle again real soon. Meanwhile, feeling great about all the handholding - if you paid attention, you should be making money - certainly, I hope you didn't panic. CP

- What is Charles V Payne's engagement rate on X?
- Charles V Payne (@cvpayne) has an engagement rate of 0.008%, based on the median interactions across 68 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,027,229 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.008%, Charles V Payne sits above the 10th percentile of the 205,261 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 @cvpayne have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 31% 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 @cvpayne post?
- Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 7.23 posts per day across the measured window.
