A typical post picks up 151 interactions against 252K followers, an engagement rate of 0.06%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 50% 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 19K times each, and 0.814% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.36% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 57% carry an image or video and 26% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.3K interactions, about 48x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ksa, #maritimesecurity, #marsec.

Compared with accounts its own size

Steve Lookner's engagement rate beats 50% 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 37% 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 0.06%, Steve Lookner sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,475 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,475 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,893 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 20:00 UTC.

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

  • 57% 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.
  • 26% 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 271 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.

    WSJ: "Iran launched an attack against U.S. Navy ships on Monday that the U.S. military has yet to acknowledge, according to U.S. officials, after firing ballistic missiles at an aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer over the weekend. No American ships were struck in the attacks, but Iran’s recent attempts to hit American naval assets are raising alarm that the regime is using more sophisticated weapons and could be getting assistance from China or Russia, according to the officials." https://t.co/bSZogp7Ebc

    Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it launched "a heavy attack of solid and liquid fuel ballistic missiles" at "the American Al-Azraq base in Jordan" in retaliation for the US striking Iranian oil tankers. The IRGC claims "the hangar for maintenance, preparation and deployment of F-35, F-16, F-15 fighter jets, and the fighter shelter were hit, causing heavy damage to the enemy." (These claims are unverified.)

    RMF24: "On Wednesday evening, a fire broke out at the Starlink satellite communications ground base station in Wola Krobowska, Mazovia [Poland]. This infrastructure provides internet connectivity to our region of Europe, including Ukraine. According to RMF FM reporter Krzysztof Zasada, the investigation suggests it may have been arson...the antennas were on fire. The generator was also damaged...the switchboard may have been set on fire...The [base], together with a similar base near Kaunas in Lithuania, provides internet access to a large part of Central and Eastern Europe...the base station is home to a dozen or so white, spherical antennas, each approximately 2 meters in diameter. The area is surrounded by a tin fence...According to the Minister of Digital Affairs, Krzysztof Gawkowski, there are many indications that this fire was a deliberate attempt to disrupt the station's operation."

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 151 interactions against 252K followers, an engagement rate of 0.06%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 50% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

What is Steve Lookner's engagement rate on X?
Steve Lookner (@lookner) has an engagement rate of 0.06%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 252,003 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.06%, Steve Lookner sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,475 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 @lookner have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 50% 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 @lookner post?
Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.03 posts per day across the measured window.
