A typical post picks up 84 interactions against 959K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 87 original posts, its engagement rate beats 32% 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 8.2K times each, and 1.03% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.853% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 87 posts sampled, 34% carry an image or video, 26% are part of a thread and 74% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 127x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

The Gateway Pundit's engagement rate beats 32% 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 48% 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 0.009%, The Gateway Pundit sits above the 10th percentile of the 205,475 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,475 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,893 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 02:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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: 02:00 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 video34% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link74% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-no effect-2% to -1%42K
  • 34% 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.
  • 74% 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 252 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.

    “A republic, if you can keep it.” – Benjamin Franklin Never before in American history has a court overturned a congressional map after a primary and before a general election. This unprecedented decision clearly violates federal law and has thrust our state into a full‑fledged constitutional crisis. Our office will move immediately to seek relief from SCOTUS. We are confident that the federal courts will not allow every Missouri voter to be disenfranchised—which is what today’s decision does.

    .@NassauExec Blakmean confronted Hochul over New York's criminal justice laws, retail theft, and her handling of the state's prison staffing crisis. "If you walk into any CVS or Walgreens and you want to buy a bottle of shampoo, in Kathy Hochul's world, you got to ring a buzzer. A store clerk has to come out, unlock a glass door for you to buy a bottle of shampoo in New York State. It's because we have a revolving door of criminality: cashless bail, Raise the Age, the HALT Act." https://t.co/w3SlKkHs03

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 84 interactions against 959K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 87 original posts, its engagement rate beats 32% 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 8.2K times each, and 1.03% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.853% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 87 posts sampled, 34% carry an image or video, 26% are part of a thread and 74% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 127x its own typical post.

What is The Gateway Pundit's engagement rate on X?
The Gateway Pundit (@gatewaypundit) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 87 original posts from the last 30 days against 959,461 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.009%, The Gateway Pundit sits above the 10th percentile of the 205,475 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 @gatewaypundit have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 32% 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 @gatewaypundit post?
Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.13 posts per day across the measured window.
