julie k. brown engagement report
@jkbjournalist - 329K followers on X
Measured over 22 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 3, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.3K interactions against 329K followers, an engagement rate of 0.398%. Measured over 22 original posts, its engagement rate beats 86% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 73K times each, and 1.79% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 22.3% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 22 posts sampled, 32% carry an image or video and 41% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 25K interactions, about 19x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #andyreid, #genynzers, #improv.

Compared with accounts its own size
julie k. brown's engagement rate beats 86% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 64% 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 21:00 UTC, and Thursday 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 | 32% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 41% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 32% 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.
- 41% 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 231 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.

It is shameful that @nytimes @TheAthletic buried the fact that the biggest punishment in NBA history was the result of an investigation by journalist @PabloTorre. And to call it the result of a "podcast episode" is a further slap in the face. He won a Pulitzer for this story and they call it an "episode" instead of, at the outset -- crediting him with exposing this scandal. Really really lame.

Pablo's investigation accomplished several things, but I would argue that its biggest accomplishment was holding a mirror in front of the present state of sports journalism and exposing its sycophantic nature.

This is my last comment to the #JalenHurts haters! You #GenYnZers aren't old enough to remember the lean years, before #AndyReid and after #McNabb & #Vick. The futility at the QB position was unbearable! Now that you have an imperfect, but more than capable than most QB, all yall do is bitch, complain, and feed the national media with this narrative that this is a make or break year for a QB who has done nothing but won for you! Be careful what you wish for! Finding or developing a franchise QB ain't as easy as you think! Especially the way this roster is built. They gonna win 10 plus games, make the playoffs every year. Which means you're not getting a pick high enough to get a great prospect! Look no further than #Pittsburgh. As great a record that #Tomlin had, his success was to consistent for the #Steelers to ever draft a top 10-15 QB! Shut up and enjoy being in contention every year! Don't forget all things are cyclical! At some point the tide will turn! #GoBirds 🦅

- julie k. brown (@jkbjournalist) has an engagement rate of 0.398%, based on the median interactions across 22 original posts from the last 30 days against 329,075 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.398%, julie k. brown sits above the 50th 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.

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 @jkbjournalist post?
- Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.3 posts per day across the measured window.
