A typical post picks up 524 interactions against 1.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.037%. Measured over 53 original posts, its engagement rate beats 55% of 3,809 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 92K times each, and 0.568% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.45% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 53 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 73K interactions, about 140x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Michael Knowles's engagement rate beats 55% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 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 36% 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,852 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,564 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    An enterprising reporter should consider reaching out to Jon @Ossoff's female staffers, past and present. He seems to be making some interesting assumptions about how male bosses behave with the women who work for them...

What is Michael Knowles's engagement rate on X?
Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) has an engagement rate of 0.037%, based on the median interactions across 53 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,430,049 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.037%, Michael Knowles sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,852 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 @michaeljknowles have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 55% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 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 @michaeljknowles post?
Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 7.2 posts per day across the measured window.
