A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 87K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 5% of 4,294 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 466 times each, and 0.215% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.536% 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 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 75% are part of a thread and 98% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8 interactions, about 8.0x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Verity's engagement rate beats 5% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,294 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 4 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 12% 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 0.001%, Verity sits below the 10th percentile of the 41,462 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.013%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 41,462 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 89,920 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 21:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 87K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 5% of 4,294 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 466 times each, and 0.215% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.536% 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 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 75% are part of a thread and 98% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8 interactions, about 8.0x its own typical post.

What is Verity's engagement rate on X?
Verity (@improvethenews) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 86,904 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.001%, Verity sits below the 10th percentile of the 41,462 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 @improvethenews have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 5% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,294 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% 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 @improvethenews post?
Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.37 posts per day across the measured window.
