Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 3 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 99 interactions against 2.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 3 original posts, its engagement rate beats 24% of tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 37K times each, and 0.269% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.66% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 3 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.9K interactions, about 39x its own typical post. Only 3 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

There are 30 NFL stadiums: Half use turf, half grass. This weekend, the decision was made to play the Super Bowl on grass. From a medical standpoint, this has become one of the more provocative issues in sports. I sat down with the chief medical officer of the NFL to understand why it matters.

A man in Kentucky was wheeled into the operating room to have his organs harvested and yet ended up being discharged from the hospital alive. When I heard this story, I didn’t believe it, so I traveled there to meet him myself and learn what exactly happened. It’s a remarkable story.

I have worked for more than a decade on my Weed docuseries. And focusing on women felt overdue. Women are now outpacing men when it comes to the use of cannabis, particularly women between the ages of 45-60. It has been a fascinating evolution. I never would have been able to predict where this journey would take me or how many facets of medical marijuana are still left to explore. Go to the link in bio to read about the inspiration for our latest installment, and make sure you watch “Weed 8: Women and Weed” tonight at 8pET on CNN.

Suffering isn’t just something to endure. It’s a teacher that shapes us…as I discovered through endless miles on the bike and my fight for survival. I’m loving this new book by @drsanjaygupta. It Doesn’t Have to Hurt is as much about resilience as it is about pain. This book isn’t about giving in—it’s about rising above. It’s already a bestseller, and for good reason. It’s a must-read for warriors in any arena. (📸: IG/lizkreutz)

It’s an intriguing premise with more and more promise: We can lower our risk of dementia with lifestyle changes alone. I first met Cici Zerbe five years ago, when we started this documentary. Now, after being part of @DeanOrnishMD's clinical trial, she says the program has reversed her Alzheimer’s symptoms. Yes -- reversed. 📺 “Dr. Sanjay Gupta Reports: The Last Alzheimer’s Patient” Sunday, July 7, at 8 p.m. ET on @CNN

- What is Dr. Sanjay Gupta's engagement rate on X?
- Dr. Sanjay Gupta (@drsanjaygupta) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 3 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,218,836 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, Dr. Sanjay Gupta sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,378 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 @drsanjaygupta have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count, which puts it in the bottom 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 @drsanjaygupta post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.1 posts per day across the measured window.
