Engagement
A typical post picks up 271 interactions against 341K followers, an engagement rate of 0.08%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 67% of 21,185 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 8.1K times each, and 3.33% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.39% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video and 42% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 48x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #happynewyear, #shabbatshalom, #shanatovah.

Compared with accounts its own size
Joel Pollak's engagement rate beats 67% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 81% 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 09:00 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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 55% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 42% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 55% 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.
- 42% 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 354 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.

Nearly 3,000 New Yorkers died on 9/11; 22 years later, the death hasn't stopped. We mourn our neighbors who died that day. The hundreds of thousands who died in the wars that followed. The unknown millions injured & displaced. In their memory, we work toward a better world.

The @ScottAdamsSays biography is "done." Well, my part of it, mostly, before editing, design, etc. Handed it in tonight, on schedule. It's long, 141,000 words. We'll have to trim, I think. But it's "complete." Finishing was emotional. I'll never stop loving that guy. Out Nov. 12.

Under the glow of the Tribute in Light, @JohnOndrasik performed “Superman,” a song that has come to symbolize courage, sacrifice, and the strength to carry on. His performance was part of a night of music and remembrance marking 25 years since 9/11, bringing together artists, survivors, families, and people across the country to reflect on the lives and legacies of those we lost. As the beams illuminated the New York City skyline, Ondrasik joined Cyndi Lauper and Lainey Wilson in a powerful evening of reflection, honoring the sacrifice, resilience, and service that continue to shape how we remember September 11. “9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan,” presented by ABC News in partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. Twenty-five years later, the promise to never forget remains as important as ever. Support the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and help carry these stories forward for generations to come. Every gift to The Never Forget Fund will be matched dollar for dollar by @MikeBloomberg, up to $25 million. Support at https://t.co/H4WEQxpJcZ

Democrats want to force Americans to work in order to steal their labor for a reallocation of dollars to foreigners on welfare - a burden to the American safety net. The Party of Americans last. https://t.co/v4Zmt9mr3g

Mayor Mamdani just torched Trump's government for turning a blind eye to AI threats: "Like many Americans across the country, the news coming out of this technology in recent days and weeks has been incredibly alarming. We are speaking about reports that, as you said, include suggestions that this could lead to the end of humanity. And whether it's the Hugging Face incident or it's the assertion from one of the heads of Anthropic that these kinds of incidents are occurring at every single AI company, we should be seeing a far greater response from the federal government on this issue, one that has the urgency befitting any conversation around the end of humanity."

Three years after the catastrophic day Hamas unleashed on Israelis and on the Palestinian people in Gaza, the majority of the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex still refuses to utter a single word of condemnation or assign any responsibility to the Islamist terror group that destroyed the Gaza Strip and triggered the most calamitous chapter in modern Palestinian history. Today alone, I have seen dozens of posters and announcements for rallies, protests, and a so-called “week of rage.” Endless groups across the Western world, including the United States, whether community-based, campus-based, nonprofit, or cultural, are celebrating and commemorating “three years of resistance and genocide.” In almost comical language, many declare October 7 as the beginning of genocide in Gaza while making no mention of the bloodshed, murder, beheadings, torture, mutilation, burning people alive, executions, sexual assault, and hostage taking that initiated the disaster which befell the Palestinian people. It is as if Israeli and Jewish lives are invisible. As if civilians were not slaughtered in their homes while they slept. As if partygoers were not massacred. As if the attack was not entirely unprovoked while a ceasefire was in place between Israel and Hamas. It is a complete erasure of cause and effect and a refusal to grasp that choices and actions produce consequences. I have yet to see a mainstream Arab, Palestinian, or Muslim American organization, let alone prominent “pro-Palestine” academics, journalists, community groups, or notable individuals, issue a statement acknowledging Hamas’s responsibility and culpability for the devastation inflicted on Gaza. Even within the imbalance of power and the overwhelming suffering caused by Israeli decisions, there is still ample space to acknowledge the humanity of Israeli victims and the injustice of what happened to them. More importantly, there is immense space to speak honestly about the horrendous damage caused to Palestinians by the Jihadi fascism of Hamas, which has devastated Gazans over the two decades of its rule. Three years later, Israelis, Jews, and Zionists are commemorating the anniversary while engaging in introspection, critique, and calls for accountability for leaders, security services, and other political players. In contrast, instead of using the grim third anniversary of October 7 to learn and evolve, significant elements of the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex remain one of the most embarrassing and backward hate-driven movements in contemporary political activism. This is not a real pro-Palestine movement. It is a virulent anti-Israel bloc built on ignorance, mob mentality, open sympathy for terrorism, and sabotage of the Palestinian people’s legitimate pursuit of freedom and prosperity. Its regressive and poisonous rhetoric will not evolve into anything constructive. It should be treated with contempt, stripped of relevance, and isolated until it collapses and makes room for a serious effort that actually cares about Palestinians rather than the fantasies of wannabe revolutionaries.

My response to October 7 is my son. After visiting the family of a Druze IDF soldier who died rescuing comrades in Gaza, I wanted to have another child. We were blessed with him about a year later. Raising the next generation of Jewish kids in 🇺🇸 or 🇮🇱 is our answer. Love > hate. https://t.co/9FCcRx5SHd

If you had told anyone, 3 years ago on October 7, that Israel would have defeated Hamas and Hezbollah; that we had reelected Trump, who combined diplomacy with military strength; and that the US had joined Israel in confronting Iran, it would have sounded like Biblical prophecy.

- What is Joel Pollak's engagement rate on X?
- Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) has an engagement rate of 0.08%, based on the median interactions across 33 original posts from the last 30 days against 340,574 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.08%, Joel Pollak sits above the 25th percentile of the 212,567 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 @joelpollak have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 67% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 @joelpollak post?
- Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.17 posts per day across the measured window.
