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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 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.

Men are now breaking up with girlfriends who support Lindsay Clancy, and honestly, good for them. A Lindsay Clancy defender is not who you want as the mother of your own future children. https://t.co/W7ootUofih

Many thanks to the President, the Vice President, and the Chief of Staff for the extraordinary hospitality and conversation! Regardless of one’s political views, it is difficult to overstate the candor and transparency of this White House. https://t.co/1ZvRsdGAat

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.
