A typical post picks up 32 interactions against 249K followers, an engagement rate of 0.013%. Measured over 93 original posts, its engagement rate beats 27% 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 7.6K times each, and 0.418% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.08% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 93 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 99% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 320 interactions, about 10x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #下班聽你講, #會員權益, #端小聚.

Compared with accounts its own size

端傳媒 Initium Media's engagement rate beats 27% 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 23% 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 0.013%, 端傳媒 Initium Media sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,880 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 204,880 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.

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

Outbound link99% 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.
  • 99% 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 456 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.

    9月14日傍晚,廣州大學城發生持刀砍人事件。然而,在官方 107 字的《警情通報》中,受害者的人數、性別、傷勢全被隱去。 十多家有報道此事的媒體都僅轉載官方資訊,並無採訪到事發現場的學生。面對《瀟湘晨報》記者詢問,警方僅回覆「我這邊現場已經處置得很安全,你有什麼問題麻煩跟宣傳部聯繫」。 當晚,一篇微信公眾號文章《廣州大學城目前傷者全是女性,刀全紮在臉上》開始傳播,文章指出,這並非網民以為的「無差別傷人」,而是明顯針對女性和瞄準臉部的攻擊,批評警方的通報故意隱瞞性別,文章目前已被刪除。 事實上,這類隨機傷人事件並不少見。2024 年,中國至少發生 25 起無差別襲擊案,造成 86 死 181 傷,且大多發生在學校和商圈附近。而大部分的官方通報,同樣選擇隱去受害者的身份信息。 面對頻發的社會暴力與戾氣,中國互聯網開始流行「幸福者退讓」原則——生活幸福的人遇到挑釁應主動迴避,以免刺激社會裡的「不幸者」。 然而,如果一個人需要時刻提防「不幸者」出來行兇,這個人怎麼會是「幸福」的? 👉點擊連結,閱讀全文: https://t.co/qDGAhFa2u8

    「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

    失聯26年的北京女子孫美華,近日在尋親志願者協助下從山東曹縣農村回到北京。她失蹤前是北京糧食局的一名普通職工,已患有精神疾病。被尋親博主發現時,她被當地村民稱作龍嬸,與一名老年男子生活在一起,精神恍惚且有時口齒不清。 然而,「回家」並未為這場歷時26年的尋親畫上句點。孫美華9月初由哥哥接回北京後,哥哥要求尋親志願者下架相關影片,並切斷了她與姐姐、姐夫的聯繫。姐夫曾接到民警來電,稱可以協調家屬會面,但附帶會面過程不能錄音錄像、必須解散網絡群聊、以及未來不得再公開提及此事等「封口」條件。 對於二人無法見到孫美華,以及孫美華疑似「二次失蹤」,當局僅回覆稱應循法律程序處理。至於孫美華當年如何失蹤並輾轉來到曹縣,目前尚未調查清楚。 近年來,多宗精神障礙女性被拐賣至農村的案件受到大眾關注,包括2022年徐州「鐵鍊女」案,和2024年山西和順女碩士案,女性往往被陌生男子以「收留」名義帶回家中共同生活,而在獲得審理的案件中,司法處理主要集中於人販子,買方則甚少被追究責任。 👉點擊連結,閱讀全文: https://t.co/d8uRMMIOFx

    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

    「我完全被三個孩子的照顧壓垮了,我覺得自己每天都在溺水。」—— 克蘭西在日記中寫道。 2023年,美國母親克蘭西殺害三名幼子後企圖自殺。法庭上,控辯雙方為她究竟是預謀的「壞母親」,還是受精神病控制的「瘋女人」爭論不休。 案發前,她頻繁就醫,甚至對家人坦承有傷害孩子的念頭。但因為她還能為孩子辦派對、做午餐,周遭便以為她「還能運作」。在對母職的期待下,似乎只要她仍在執行育兒勞動,她的崩潰就難以被正視。 這場無果的審判,為社會留下了一個更複雜的叩問:當一位母親開始溺水,我們該如何在她徹底沉沒之前,真正聽懂她的呼救? 👉點擊連結,端傳媒【瘋女人,壞母親?】系列評論: https://t.co/0KbKG7AWTb

    「跨性別」往往被視為一種當代的身分認同。但美國史丹福大學歷史系教授蘇成捷(Matthew H. Sommer)發現,在清代中國,家庭定義了性別,放棄婚姻與生育的僧侶和太監,實質上已經跨越了性別規範。 民間與官方看待這種「跨性別」的方式截然不同。在底層社會,一個男扮女裝的人,若能透過降神治病為社區提供價值,鄰里多半會予以默許。另一邊廂,清朝官方卻將「男扮女裝」與「邪教」視為同等異端,兩者的連接點在於「欺詐」。在官方的想像中,「一個男人假扮女人的唯一合理解釋,就是為了潛入女性空間,以便強姦或誘姦那些『良家妻女』。」 蘇成捷指出,這種「異裝性掠奪者」的偏執幻想,非常符合清代司法「不惜一切代價保護女性貞操和規範家庭」的宏大敘事。這不僅與現代某些反跨性別言論極為相似,更「揭示了人類社會在面對性別邊界模糊時,往往會訴諸同一種恐懼。」 👉點擊連結,閱讀全文,看漢學家蘇成捷談清代中國的性別邊界: https://t.co/olu25sNFwC

    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

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 32 interactions against 249K followers, an engagement rate of 0.013%. Measured over 93 original posts, its engagement rate beats 27% 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 7.6K times each, and 0.418% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.08% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 93 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 99% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 320 interactions, about 10x its own typical post.

What is 端傳媒 Initium Media's engagement rate on X?
端傳媒 Initium Media (@initiumnews) has an engagement rate of 0.013%, based on the median interactions across 93 original posts from the last 30 days against 248,594 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.013%, 端傳媒 Initium Media sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,880 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 27% 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 @initiumnews post?
Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.5 posts per day across the measured window.
