Engagement
A typical post picks up 636 interactions against 384K followers, an engagement rate of 0.168%. Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 4,768 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 69K times each, and 0.925% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 17.9% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 42 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video, 24% are part of a thread and 19% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.4K interactions, about 13x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Marc Lou's engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,768 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 46% 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 12:00 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.

I spent 14 days in China, and it was my favorite trip in a while. It changed so much since I visited 11 years ago that it felt like a new country. Here is what I liked about China, and what I didn’t. 1. EV adoption is huge. 100% of scooters are electric. You can walk on busy streets and it’s surprisingly quiet! It made me enjoy cities again. 2. It’s so convenient. All restaurants let you scan a QR code to order and pay. You can order a taxi and drive 100 km for $30. The malls are so big you can spend an entire day there. 3. Value for money is top notch. Hotels are new, food is delicious, and yet everything is super affordable. Chinese people are really committed to doing their best, and you can feel this everywhere you go. It’s very humbling. 4. Chinese people are super friendly! We made friends everywhere we went: restaurants, hotels, taxis. I memorized Chinese sentences like 是免費的嗎？ (“Is it free?”) and I would repeat them to outdoor vendors for fun. They would laugh and come slap me on the shoulder! I even got a free ice cream doing this ^^ 5. Internet is a gamble. The Great Firewall blocks a lot of websites. You need a VPN and eSIM to access Western websites. And it’s not guaranteed to work, so it’s tricky to get deep work done. I used Revolut eSIMs. It’s expensive, but most websites worked. When I called my parents during the trip, they couldn’t believe how modern China is. For most people in the West, China is still a third-world country. There are 17 cities with 10M+ inhabitants. Most of them were built in the last 30 years. When I was in Hangzhou 杭州, I felt like I was in an ant house. Very crowded, yet super modern, quiet, and organized. My wife and I loved the trip so much. We’ll come back next year and get lost in China because there are so many wonderful places to go.

Why I'll never raise or hire: I wake up not knowing what I’ll do today. I have breakfast with my wife while my phone is off. I hit the gym. I do 4 hours of deep work on whatever sparks my creativity. I have lunch with my wife when I’m hungry. I answer support. Every customer is super kind. I get paid for my work. I close my laptop whenever I want. I go to bed excited to wake up and do it all again.

3 years ago, you could get away with an ugly website. It's over now. Your grandma can vibe code a landing page. Learn the fundamentals of design. Study top websites and replicate. AI won't save you (yet) because it sucks at front-end.

I got a haircut in China. Normally, I go to $5 local barbershops in Bali, but I wanted to try a hair salon in Shanghai. I had to choose the level of expertise of the hairdresser. I was in a hurry, so I picked the only one available: Intermediate. I Googled “men haircut 2026” and showed him one I liked. He said nothing, washed my hair, and picked up a shaver. 45 minutes later, I realized I had a massage appointment. I felt terrible because I had to leave the salon. I looked like a palm tree. When I came back the next day, I offered to pay for a second haircut. He refused. I insisted, but he wouldn’t let me, so I got him a croissant. He spent the next hour finishing the haircut. He cared about every detail. He didn’t stop until my hair looked exactly like the photo I showed him. It cost $30, and it’s the best haircut I’ve ever had (imho). What has impressed me the most in China is how seriously people take their work. Waiters, taxi drivers, hairdressers, massage therapists… once you pay for a service, they seem genuinely committed to making sure you feel you got your money’s worth. They're not waiting for praise. They just quietly do the job as well as they can. And I find that incredibly humbling.

- What is Marc Lou's engagement rate on X?
- Marc Lou (@marclou) has an engagement rate of 0.168%, based on the median interactions across 42 original posts from the last 30 days against 383,507 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.168%, Marc Lou sits above the 50th percentile of the 45,991 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 @marclou have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,768 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 @marclou post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 7.5 posts per day across the measured window.
