Engagement
A typical post picks up 115 interactions against 296K followers, an engagement rate of 0.039%. Measured over 47 original posts, its engagement rate beats 45% of 15,519 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 4.4K times each, and 2.64% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.47% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 47 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video and 89% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.5K interactions, about 22x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #foryoupage, #fy, #fyp.

Compared with accounts its own size
Robert Spencer's engagement rate beats 45% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 73% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Saturday 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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 98% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 4% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 98% 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.
- 4% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 495 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.

Turks warn Greece not to protect their Aegean island territories or to strengthen partnership with Israel This is based on the fact that Greece was once part of the Ottoman Empire. Kalın and Erdogan are proceeding from the assumption that any land once ruled by Islam belongs by right to Islam forever, which is based on the Qur’anic command: “Drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191). This is the same rationale that the “Palestinians” use, and witless and/or opportunistic leftists fall for it eagerly. Watch for it also in Spain. Read more at the link in the next post.

What We Never Learned From 9/11 by Daniel Greenfield First we learned to love our killers. Then we learned to hate ourselves. After 19 Muslim terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people in the United States, the most sensible thing would have been to close the borders and keep out the people most likely to carry out attacks.

Hamas-Linked CAIR Forces Maryland School Board Member to Submit to Islamic Blasphemy Rules by Amy Mek via the RAIR Foundation A Maryland school board member posted that MAGA fears about women’s rights look small next to Sharia – and CAIR Maryland ran a brutal pressure campaign that made her recant, apologize in a packed board meeting, and agree to a mosque visit for “re-education.” Read more at the link in the next post.

Leftists and Hamas-linked CAIR enraged that son of Hamas founder said ‘I don’t want Muslims in America’ Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a cofounder of Hamas. He knows what Islam is all about, and has rejected it and embraced Christianity. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Mehdi Hasan know very well that he is referring to a genuine problem when he says: “There is no room for Islam dominance, especially here in the United States.” They know that he is criticizing a supremacist, expansionist, violent ideology, not speaking out of “racism” or some irrational hatred.

Israel Refuses to Commit Suicide With the ‘Two-State Solution’ by Hugh Fitzgerald Israel will not commit national suicide. Its claim to Judea and Samaria is based on 3500 years of history connecting the Jewish people to those territories, a connection that the League of Nations recognized when it created the Mandate for Palestine in 1921.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps advisor: ‘The Islamic forces will use the same method used with Banu Qurayza’ Muhammad, according to Islamic tradition, beheaded between 600 and 900 men of the Jewish Qurayzah tribe after the Battle of the Trench, because of their alleged betrayal. Muhammad had already exiled the other two tribes in Medina, and the Qurayzah had no reason to believe he would treat them differently. What is interesting here is that Naqdi assumes the truth of the incident. Just a few years ago, Islamic apologists in the West, recognizing that it made Muhammad look bad, routinely denied that it was historically accurate. Of course, Naqdi is speaking from a Muslim country, where such accounts are well known, but in general, Islamic apologists are more forthright now about the aspects of Islam that Westerners consider unpleasant than they were quite recently.

Why Must Germans Live This Way? Why must anyone? The governments of the West are filled with gangs of traitors that have anything but the best interests of their citizens at heart. Germany is a case in point. Remix News reported Monday that “in the eastern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a 14-year-old boy was tortured for hours by ten youths, many of them who were foreigners or of foreign origin. The incident, which happened in the city of Neubrandenburg, saw the youths beat, burn, and insult the victim, all while reportedly filming the incident and subsequently posting it to social media.” Read more at the link in the next post.

Doctors Without Borders insists that it’s stupid, not evil Medecins Sans Frontieres, that is, Doctors Without Borders, insists that it didn’t know it was hiring Hamas jihadis. So in other words, it is admitting that it was too stupid to spot an Islamic jihadi. Its own rhetoric is so viciously one-sided and anti-Israel that it never saw the jihadis it hired as anything but ideologically simpatico. Read more at the link in the next post.

- What is Robert Spencer's engagement rate on X?
- Robert Spencer (@jihadwatchRS) has an engagement rate of 0.039%, based on the median interactions across 47 original posts from the last 30 days against 295,965 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.039%, Robert Spencer sits above the 25th percentile of the 156,969 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 @jihadwatchRS have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 45% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 @jihadwatchRS post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.17 posts per day across the measured window.
