Measured over 52 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 17, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 255 interactions against 954K followers, an engagement rate of 0.027%. Measured over 52 original posts, its engagement rate beats 49% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 24K times each, and 1.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.52% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 52 posts sampled, 73% carry an image or video and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 94K interactions, about 367x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #amazon, #catherinezetajones, #slavaukraïni.

Compared with accounts its own size
Don Winslow's engagement rate beats 49% 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 49% 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 05:00 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.

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 | 73% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 13% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 73% 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.
- 13% 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 154 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.

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.

ICE blinded me for life. My skull is shattered beyond repair - I can't even sneeze or cough without risking death. They pulled a nickel-sized plastic chunk from my eye, with metal, glass and plastic still lodged behind it. It's a miracle I survived. @KinsleyOnX @mehdirhasan https://t.co/NM1L4uCUlC

- What is Don Winslow's engagement rate on X?
- Don Winslow (@donwinslow) has an engagement rate of 0.027%, based on the median interactions across 52 original posts from the last 30 days against 954,334 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.027%, Don Winslow sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,152 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 @donwinslow have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 49% 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 @donwinslow post?
- Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.4 posts per day across the measured window.
