A typical post picks up 145 interactions against 344K followers, an engagement rate of 0.043%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 46% of 15,519 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 27K times each, and 0.547% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.70% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 32 posts sampled, 47% carry an image or video and 47% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.2K interactions, about 41x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Matthew Prince 🌥's engagement rate beats 46% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 30% 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 04:00 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 | 47% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 47% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 47% 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.
- 47% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 162 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.

Spotify gave ChatGPT Sol its entire catalogue. Sol listened and came up with this playlist of “the best.” A couple things: 1) a measure of AI’s taste? which gets to some interesting philosophical questions; and 2) clearly my next earnings week playlist. https://t.co/VtGiegRlku

Got to see new foldable iPhone Duo shown off by Eddie Cue at dinner tonight. I was skeptical, and still need to really put one through the paces, but have to say… it was pretty cool.

I took my nephews over to Park City Mountain today to ride the Alpine Coaster and Slide. (Fun fact: my dad originally built the Slide.) I was buying tickets at the window when the agent reviewed my liability waiver. “Are you THE Matthew Prince? We’re all rooting for you.” 😊 Don’t think Rob Katz gets the same reception. 🤷🏻♂️

One obvious disconnect is that founders try to speak to the general public the way they’ve been trained to speak to VCs. VCs love bombast, hyperbole and absolutes. The general public, predictably, has the opposite reaction.

- What is Matthew Prince 🌥's engagement rate on X?
- Matthew Prince 🌥 (@eastdakota) has an engagement rate of 0.043%, based on the median interactions across 32 original posts from the last 30 days against 344,283 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.043%, Matthew Prince 🌥 sits above the 25th percentile of the 156,596 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 @eastdakota have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 46% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 @eastdakota post?
- Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.8 posts per day across the measured window.
