A typical post picks up 602 interactions against 213K followers, an engagement rate of 0.286%. Measured over 35 original posts, its engagement rate beats 77% of 20,444 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 17K times each, and 3.44% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.22% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 35 posts sampled, 66% carry an image or video and 46% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.7K interactions, about 11x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Gareth Icke's engagement rate beats 77% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 78% 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 0.286%, Gareth Icke sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,881 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.68%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,881 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 11:00 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 11:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video66% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link46% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 66% 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.
  • 46% 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 191 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

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.

    Gaza was bombed today with these massive bombs. Entire residential neighborhoods are being destroyed of what remains of the neighborhoods within just 30% of Gaza’s total area. This is a real genocide, yet the Western media calls it a “ceasefire.” Please, talk about Gaza. Please don’t let Gaza be forgotten.

    I'm gutted that a nation bombed into existence by terrorists, that murdered British soldiers, strung up their bodies and booby-trapped their corpse to kill the British that cut them down, might not be our ally anymore.

    🇮🇱🇵🇸🇬🇧 Israeli President Herzog: “Later today, we expect to see headlines announcing certain British trade sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. If this happens and other nations may join, I believe it will prove to be a grave miscalculation, a decision that will fall on the wrong side of history.” “Sanctions are not a solution. Dialogue is. I say to all foreign governments, stop. Step away from the dead end of sanctions and boycotts and turn towards constructive dialogue and towards cooperation.” Can I just point out the irony of an Israeli official calling for “constructive dialogue”?

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 602 interactions against 213K followers, an engagement rate of 0.286%. Measured over 35 original posts, its engagement rate beats 77% of 20,444 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 17K times each, and 3.44% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.22% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 35 posts sampled, 66% carry an image or video and 46% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.7K interactions, about 11x its own typical post.

Gareth Icke (@garethicke) has an engagement rate of 0.286%, based on the median interactions across 35 original posts from the last 30 days against 212,739 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.286%, Gareth Icke sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,881 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 @garethicke have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 77% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the top 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 @garethicke post?
Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.27 posts per day across the measured window.
