A typical post picks up 45 interactions against 249K followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Measured over 55 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 6,874 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 7.9K times each, and 0.568% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.18% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 55 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 300 interactions, about 6.7x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #下班聽你講, #端小聚.

Compared with accounts its own size

端傳媒 Initium Media's engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 32% 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 0.018%, 端傳媒 Initium Media sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,128 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.016% to 0.1%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 66,128 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 57,111 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.

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 video100% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link100% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 100% 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.
  • 100% 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 500 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above 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.

    「如果法律容不下我的信念,我寧願做罪犯,也不願意做假的人,活在謊言中」。 支聯會被控「煽動他人顛覆國家政權」案罪成,今日(8月28日)求情。「煽動顛覆國家政權罪」分兩級罰則,「情節嚴重」者最高可判囚10年,「情節較輕」者囚5年以下、拘役或管制。 上週裁決時,法官李運騰已表示今日不需控方作量刑陳詞,而需要辯方協助。因此今日只有辯方律師和鄒幸彤作出陳情。 代表李卓人、何俊仁的沈士文律師團隊,在書面陳詞中欲說服法庭判處一個二人能在宣判後立即獲釋的刑期,若法庭不接納、判「情節嚴重」,也應該在最低級別;鄒幸彤則在陳情中指,若法庭認為她「情節嚴重」,她將視為讚美。 求情前一日,鄒幸彤在獄中再向大眾簡單發信,指「當下被禁止的話語,被掩埋的事實,被侮辱的理念,只會在地下長出更強壯連綿的根,並在雪融那天,在每個角落破土而出,劃破那無根的迷朦。」 👉請點擊連結,註冊免費閱讀全文,燭光如海/⼈⼼成濤/粉⾝拍岸/不平不休:https://t.co/IPKhk42w8I

    支聯會被控「煽動他人顛覆國家政權」案,8月21日裁決,支聯會、主席李卓人、副主席鄒幸彤三名被告罪名成立。三人自2021年因本案被捕、還押,至今已近5年,刑期將在求情結束後頒布。判決後,家屬、朋友們紛紛議論判詞,鄧燕娥直言「很憤怒,不公平」。 這場審訊影響的並不只有被告。2021年支聯會解散後,作為被告家屬、朋友、舊同事的鄧燕娥、劉家儀、關振邦,都曾被捕。 對這群長年並肩的戰友而言,支聯會解散了,但彼此的感情並沒有消失。「可能在某些人眼中,我們叫死不悔改。如果某些人會看這篇報道,我都希望他們明白這種同志的感情⋯⋯還有大家對這地方的愛,包括香港、中國大陸、民主人權自由⋯⋯」 支聯會案即將完結,香港某一段歷史也將畫上句號。但對留下來的人而言,記錄、陪伴與彼此支持仍在繼續。 👉請點擊連結,閱讀全文,端傳媒會持續跟進被告求情、法庭判刑等後續發展: https://t.co/DEtoCb8et1

    八月中旬,重慶時代峰峻總部樓下發生了一起針對女性粉絲的暴力事件。大批年輕男性聚集,對前來追星打卡的女性施以毆打、潑水,甚至用菸頭燙傷。 官方媒體與警方將事件定性為「追星引發的糾紛」,施暴者的身份與真實動機被完全隱去;與此同時,部分X和YouTube上的男性意見領袖,則將這些圍攻女性的人稱為「抗議者」。但我們不禁要問:他們到底在「抗議」什麼? 回顧互聯網歷史,這種針對追星女性的惡意早有跡可循。從昔日以「愛國」為名的網絡「爆吧」騷擾,到如今的線下圍堵,攻擊者總是採取「先造謠抹黑,再假裝正義之師出動」的行為模式。 為什麼他們對追星女孩抱有如此巨大的惡意?這場被定性為「糾紛」的線下圍獵,背後隱藏著怎樣深層的性別焦慮與權力失落?👉點擊連結,閱讀全文:https://t.co/QYMdVkv45Y 【端傳媒11周年限時優惠】 🌠 加入暢讀方案,立即解鎖11年來所有深度報導:https://t.co/fyVv6vsmyH 🍨 選擇全新守護方案,省下52美元,同步解鎖《紐約時報》:https://t.co/Jo2MqGdAEY 🍧 訂閱守護方案,省下52美元,同步解鎖《華爾街日報》:https://t.co/l1yiA4K9Cg

    前香港眾志秘書長黃之鋒被控國安法下串謀勾結外國勢力罪,他於今日(9月2日)認罪。今日原定答辯及判刑,但最終判刑押後進行。 黃之鋒現年29歲,他自2020年因包圍警總案被捕後長期被囚。目前,他正就民主派初選案(47人案)服刑,原定下年1月獲釋,但及至2025年6月在獄中再次被捕,同日被正式起訴。2026年5月14日,案件由西九龍裁判法院交付高等法院。 早前,黃之鋒因47人案被判監禁4年8個月,這是他被控告的第二宗國安案件。今年10月,他將在獄中度過30歲生日。 控罪指,黃之鋒在2020年7月1日至11月23日期間,在香港與前香港眾志主席羅冠聰及其他身份不詳人士串謀,請求外國或者境外機構、組織、人員對香港或中國實施制裁、封鎖或者其他敵對行動。 《國安法》第29條「勾結外國或者境外勢力危害國家安全」設兩級刑罰。一經定罪,較輕情節者判3年以上、10年以下有期徒刑;罪行重大者設10年以上有期,最高無期徒刑。 本案是黎智英案後,香港第二宗串謀勾結外國勢力的國安案件。 辯方於求情時指出,本案與黎智英案相比情節較輕。在黎智英案中,黎被視為主腦(mastermind),故量刑以15年為計,最終判處10年。辯方希望法庭以低量刑起點判決,望判監禁3至10年。 👉點擊連結,閱讀全文: https://t.co/D4n65FdgYs

    「我喜歡什麼東西,它就要倒霉。」 這是一位中國大陸BTS粉絲回頭看自己的成長時,對文化審查最直接的形容。 2015年,《進擊的巨人》《東京喰種》等日本動畫陸續從視頻網站下架;她喜歡的小說作者因涉淫穢色情被判刑;同志網絡劇《上癮》播出不到一個月便遭全網下架;後來,連她喜歡的嘻哈團體也在輿論風暴後被封殺。 後來她成為BTS粉絲,又遇上「限韓」與「辱華」。 2016年中韓關係因「薩德」事件緊張後,韓國藝人在中國的演出與商業活動陸續受到限制;後來BTS隊長金南俊因韓戰相關發言引發中國網路輿論爭議,BTS相關宣傳內容遭下架、隱藏,粉絲也陷入「要不要脫粉」的掙扎。 當喜歡的偶像越來越難在中國大陸被看見,她開始「環大陸」追星。 當政治不斷進入文化與日常生活,一個普通人要付出多少金錢、時間與精力,才能保留「我喜歡什麼」的自由? 👉請點擊連結,閱讀一位中國大陸韓娛粉絲的追星自述:從「我喜歡什麼東西,它就要倒霉」,到花掉半年的工資跨國看演唱會:https://t.co/tOZ0jUsAVU

    一個人的特質,能像三國志的人物一樣憑幾個簡單的數值歸納、理解嗎? 今年1月,《三國志》系列誕生四十週年紀念作品《三國志8 REMAKE with 威力加強版》出爐。9月,《三國志14威力加強傳承版》也將發售。 這種通過比較數值來標準化、程式化的方式來表達人物強弱的系統,除了讓《三國志》成為了一個經久不衰的遊戲系列,也逐漸普及並固化了一種評價歷史人物的範式。 年輕時的撰稿人小山深深為數值著迷,以為通過這套系統,可以快速認知和理解歷史人物。後來,他更將它套用到現代公眾人物身上——曼德拉:義理15,主戰1。碧咸:武力87,魅力99。霍金:智力100,武力1——甚至開始用遊戲提供的框架給身邊的人評估數值。 這種方式貌似讓理解人與世界的成本降低了,但人的複雜性,真的能如此簡單地被評估嗎? 👉點擊連結,閱讀撰稿人小山那段關於《三國志》和數值的青春記憶 : https://t.co/F9xwWVCHOR

    「我們就像個商品。」冬瓜無奈地說。 凌晨五點五十分,一名女主播在連續直播八小時後,因一票之差在一場PK中落敗而無法下班。 24歲的冬瓜對這個場景再熟悉不過。兩個月前,她入職一家位於廣州的團播公司。最久的一次,她在公司連續待了24小時。她最初因為喜歡跳舞而踏入這行,卻很快發現,在近年中國極度擴張的「團播」產業裡,「要有票(打賞)才能跳」。 這個看似「低門檻、高薪」招牌的新興行業,正吸引大量初入社會的年輕女性,但光鮮背後,是一條榨乾情緒與體力的流水線。為了達標,主播們每天工作長達10至14小時;下播後,還要耗費精力私訊觀眾,靠維持「曖昧關係」確保留存率。 此外,許多不良經紀公司更以「合作協議」取代勞動合同,藉此規避社保,並設下高昂違約金⋯⋯ 👉點擊連結,閱讀全文,了解團播產業背後的運作機制 : https://t.co/RsAMl9waGv 【端傳媒11周年限時優惠】 🌠 加入暢讀方案,立即解鎖11年來所有深度報導:https://t.co/fyVv6vsmyH 🍨 選擇全新守護方案,省下52美元,同步解鎖《紐約時報》:https://t.co/Jo2MqGdAEY 🍧 訂閱守護方案,省下52美元,同步解鎖《華爾街日報》:https://t.co/l1yiA4K9Cg

    「現在我終於有個人樣了。」 在瑞幸咖啡當了三年半店長的阿喆辭職了。 阿喆的店位於中國北方城市的一個著名景區,銷售額很高,以前店員多維持在十人以上,最多曾有13名店員。 從2025年起,瑞幸開始漸步推行「AI 排班」系統,AI 排班後,系統將門店店員總數降到了七、八人,但工作量並沒有減少,每位員工必須承擔更多的工作、甚至必須無償加班,工資卻沒有漲。 在瑞幸的企業敘事中,這叫「AI 賦能」、「數智化升級」。但看在第一線的員工眼裡,AI 並沒有分擔、減輕人的工作,而是命令人類做更多的工作,同時擠走「多餘的人」。 面對不會因應天氣、新人入職等因素調整KPI,也不會計算商品製作以外的必需勞動的AI排班系統,瑞幸咖啡的員工有著怎樣的掙扎?👉點擊連結,閱讀全文:https://t.co/veg4LZb89u

    8月25日上午,俄羅斯遠東阿穆爾州的斯沃博德內(Svobodny)市郊,中俄兩國能源合作的「阿穆爾天然氣化工綜合體」(AGCC)巨型化工廠發生火災,工廠當時已處於投入生產前的開車調試階段。 社媒流傳的影片中,數百名穿著中石化橙色反光背心的工人從廠區向外奔逃,有人邊跑邊高喊「跑啊,要炸啦」。儘管工廠在其官方聲明中始終將事故描述爲「起火」,但現場很可能發生了嚴重爆炸。一名倖存中國工人向端傳媒表示,「衝擊波太大了」,若沒有掩蔽物阻擋緩衝,他可能也已遭不測。 截至當地時間27日下午,項目公司確認事故造成15人死亡,其中14人為中國公民,另有超過百人受傷。與執法部門關係密切的電報頻道「112」稱,初步懷疑事故由「裝有甲醇的容器」爆炸引起。 今年春天,俄當局曾檢查發現廠區存在多項安全隱患,包括防爆措施不足、使用可燃材料等,並要求5月25日前整改,但其中兩項問題逾期仍未解決。8月13日,也就是事故前12天,項目公司被罰款5萬盧布(約合600美元)。有附近村民稱,從13日起就反覆聞到類似天然氣的刺鼻氣味。受訪倖存工人也稱,不久前工廠已發生氣體洩漏,但俄方沒有及時處理問題。 👉點擊連結,閱讀全文: https://t.co/OiYe1Lqs74 【端傳媒11周年限時優惠】 🌠 加入暢讀方案,立即解鎖11年來所有深度報導:https://t.co/fyVv6vsmyH 🍨 選擇全新守護方案,省下52美元,同步解鎖《紐約時報》:https://t.co/Jo2MqGdAEY 🍧 訂閱守護方案,省下52美元,同步解鎖《華爾街日報》:https://t.co/l1yiA4K9Cg

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 45 interactions against 249K followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Measured over 55 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 6,874 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 7.9K times each, and 0.568% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.18% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 55 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 300 interactions, about 6.7x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #下班聽你講, #端小聚.

What is 端傳媒 Initium Media's engagement rate on X?
端傳媒 Initium Media (@initiumnews) has an engagement rate of 0.018%, based on the median interactions across 55 original posts from the last 30 days against 248,986 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.018%, 端傳媒 Initium Media sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,128 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 @initiumnews have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 @initiumnews post?
Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.

Keep going
