Engagement
A typical post picks up 152 interactions against 181K followers, an engagement rate of 0.084%. Measured over 17 original posts, its engagement rate beats 56% 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 24K times each, and 0.634% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 13.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 17 posts sampled, 24% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.6K interactions, about 17x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #dddp, #covid19, #democratie.

Compared with accounts its own size
Maurice de Hond's engagement rate beats 56% 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 31% 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.

At 0.084%, Maurice de Hond sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,152 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday 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 | 24% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 100% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 24% 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.
- 100% 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 248 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.

Het verhoor van Ernst Kuipers bij de #PEC is vernietigend voor de onderbouwing van het coronabeleid. Het RIVM werkte met verouderde/onvolledige cijfers en produceerde modellen die fors mis zaten. Toch werden daarop ingrijpende maatregelen gebaseerd. https://t.co/SjkqynqY7p

De verschuivingen gaan langzaam, maar de trend is duidelijk. Ieder van de 3 regeringspartijen verliest minstens 6 zetels. En PRO staat ruim voor. https://t.co/uIszupE0pQ https://t.co/B7OEZOJiO3

In nieuwe peiling evenaart de VVD de laagste score ooit uit 2008 (12 zetels), JA21 staat op de hoogste score ooit (20). FVD zakt weg ten gunste van de PVV. https://t.co/gxMvJ4BOa8 https://t.co/T2uThEMvrt

Na een rampzalig verlopen debat over de begroting waarin de VVD alle principes overboord gooide, scoort de partij van Dilan Yeşilgöz nog maar twaalf zetels in de nieuwste peiling van Maurice de Hond. De VVD evenaart haar dieptepunt uit 2008. Waarom gaat het toch steeds mis op rechts? En wat willen de kiezers nu? Door met dit kabinet, over rechts, over links of weer stemmen? Bijna zeven op de tien denken dat ook nieuwe verkiezingen geen stabiele regering opleveren. Wie ziet de uitweg? Marianne Zwagerman en Maurice de Hond bespreken het vanavond in een nieuwe uitzending van Dwars door de Politiek. Verder: er zijn klachten tegen ons ingediend bij de Reclame Code Commissie over onze radiocommercials voor https://t.co/46mMue6uqS. Op 16 oktober dient ook de zaak van Maurice tegen Maarten Keulemans bij de Raad voor de Journalistiek. Vanavond praten we jullie bij. En op 8 oktober is Maurice vijftig jaar opiniepeiler. Een halve eeuw meten wat Nederland denkt. Wanneer gaat Den Haag luisteren? 📺 Kijk en praat mee: zondag om 20.00 uur live op YouTube, Facebook, X en LinkedIn. Je wekelijkse subsidievrije lichtpuntje tussen Buitenhof en Nieuwsuur. 🎧 Later ook terug te luisteren als podcast op Spotify en andere platforms.

Measured over 17 original posts, its engagement rate beats 56% 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 Maurice de Hond's engagement rate on X?
- Maurice de Hond (@mauricedehond) has an engagement rate of 0.084%, based on the median interactions across 17 original posts from the last 30 days against 181,484 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.084%, Maurice de Hond sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,152 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 @mauricedehond have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 56% 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 @mauricedehond post?
- Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.07 posts per day across the measured window.
