A typical post picks up 2.1K interactions against 947K followers, an engagement rate of 0.217%. Measured over 71 original posts, its engagement rate beats 84% of 3,882 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 43K times each, and 4.80% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.52% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 71 posts sampled, 70% carry an image or video and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 92K interactions, about 45x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nickglennie, #rip.

Compared with accounts its own size

Don Winslow's engagement rate beats 84% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 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 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.217%, Don Winslow sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.081% to 0.439%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    A Florida man found a legal loophole to block a Flock surveillance camera using a 12-foot-tall protest sign. 77-year-old Carl Gunn legally blocks a Flock license plate camera in St. Petersburg, Florida, by sitting on a public sidewalk and holding a 12-foot pool skimmer pole with a “DOWN WITH FLOCK CAMERAS” sign. Because he remains on public property and never touches the equipment, police confirmed his protest is lawful.

    "I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents https://t.co/0JyOc4f8Cb

    🇺🇦🇺🇸 His father is one of the richest men on Earth. Howard Buffett chose to direct hundreds of millions of dollars toward helping Ukraine. After Russia launched its full-scale invasion, the Howard G. Buffett Foundation committed nearly $150 million to Ukraine in 2022 and roughly $360 million in 2023. By 2024, its total support had surpassed half a billion dollars. And it wasn't simply writing checks. Buffett's foundation funded kitchen factories in Bucha and Lozova, supported the rebuilding of police infrastructure, and provided mine-clearing equipment, generators and DNA technology used to identify victims and investigate Russian war crimes. Ukrainian farmers received combines, tractors and other agricultural equipment. In heavily mined regions, simply making farmland safe enough to cultivate has become an enormous undertaking. Buffett also backed the Superhumans Center near Lviv, where Ukrainians injured by the war receive prosthetics, rehabilitation and medical care. Together with Ukrzaliznytsia, his foundation funded the extraordinary Kitchen Train — a mobile kitchen capable of operating autonomously for up to seven days and producing around 10,000 meals per day for communities in frontline and liberated areas. Howard Buffett is the middle son of legendary investor Warren Buffett. But Ukrainians don't know him simply because his father is a billionaire. They know him because when the full-scale war began, he came to Ukraine. He saw what was happening with his own eyes. And he decided to help — not with slogans, but with food, farm machinery, demining equipment, prosthetics and hundreds of millions of dollars in support. Some people say they stand with Ukraine. Howard Buffett showed what standing with Ukraine actually looks like.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 2.1K interactions against 947K followers, an engagement rate of 0.217%. Measured over 71 original posts, its engagement rate beats 84% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size.

Posts are seen about 43K times each, and 4.80% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.52% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week.
