Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.3K interactions against 31M followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 46% of 3,774 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 216K times each, and 1.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.698% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video and 6% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 293K interactions, about 89x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
ye's engagement rate beats 46% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 68% 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 0.011%, ye sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

- What is ye's engagement rate on X?
- ye (@kanyewest) has an engagement rate of 0.011%, based on the median interactions across 33 original posts from the last 30 days against 30,896,330 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.011%, ye sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,521 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 @kanyewest have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 46% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 @kanyewest post?
- Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.8 posts per day across the measured window.
