A typical post picks up 7.7K interactions against 481K followers, an engagement rate of 1.60%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 98% of 20,444 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 259K times each, and 2.98% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 53.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 168K interactions, about 22x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

matt bernstein's engagement rate beats 98% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 78% 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 1.60%, matt bernstein sits above the 75th percentile of the 204,956 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.678% to 2.55%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,956 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 23:00 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.

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
Image or video100% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 100% 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.
  • 0% 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 245 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.

    My girlfriend and I attended the Ed Sheeran concert last evening in our company suite at MetLife with a number of guests; 34 to be exact (36 total attendees). I am not Jewish, however some of my guests are Jewish. I have never been more embarrassed, and shocked in my entire life. @macklemore is a complete clown for pulling the nonsense he pulled at BOTH “Ed Sheeran” concerts (Friday & Saturday evening). I have always been a Macklemore fan, but after his political stunt, I cannot support him or his music any longer. When you go WOKE, you have to be prepared to lose fans. After it happened on Friday, it should have immediately been stopped. This antisemitic behavior reflects so poorly on you @edsheeran . Very sadly you were complicit in allowing it to continue on Saturday evening. When I go to a concert, I am going to hear amazing music. I am NOT going to hear “Free Palestine” rants. Macklemore spread anti-Zionist, and antisemitic propaganda. He also accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. What does any of this have to do with music ? Why do I need to hear this BS at a concert that I’m supposedly going to, to hear amazing music ? If Macklemore feels so strongly about Palestine, then maybe he should donate all of his tour earnings to them ? You were sensational Ed. You seem like such an amazing individual; someone so cool and down to earth. Someone that I would love to actually hang out with. It’s a shame that you would allow someone else’s performance to tarnish your amazing image. I just don’t get it. I saw this same nonsense a few years ago when @U2 , who I happen love, were trying to compare Michelle Obama to Harriet Tubman, and other notable women of African American descent. Why can’t music be about music ? I’m so sick of the attempted “indoctrination” of audiences that attend these concerts. There were young Jewish children in your audience last evening. How do you think they felt hearing these rants about Palestine ? It’s completely uncalled for. As a fan, I am prepared to stop attending concerts for good if this deplorable behavior continues. I will merely listen to the music I like on XM Satellite radio. What’s right is right !! What do you think about this @israeliamerican ? America is a free country. We are free to speak our minds. Maybe Macklemore thinks he is free to spread his propaganda and lies ? I am also free to spend my hard earned money how I see fit, and it won’t be on any more WOKE artists. You’re better than this, Ed Sheeran. Do what’s right here.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 7.7K interactions against 481K followers, an engagement rate of 1.60%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 98% of 20,444 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 259K times each, and 2.98% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 53.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 168K interactions, about 22x its own typical post.

What is matt bernstein's engagement rate on X?
matt bernstein (@mattxiv) has an engagement rate of 1.60%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 480,728 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 1.60%, matt bernstein sits above the 75th percentile of the 204,956 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 @mattxiv have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 98% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the top 10% for its size 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 @mattxiv post?
Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.1 posts per day across the measured window.
