Engagement
A typical post picks up 110 interactions against 507K followers, an engagement rate of 0.022%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 43% of 6,874 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 10K times each, and 1.07% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.03% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 78% carry an image or video and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 73K interactions, about 32x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ia02, #scsuccession.

Compared with accounts its own size
Matt Schlapp's engagement rate beats 43% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 52% 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 18:00 UTC, and Thursday 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 | 78% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 17% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 78% 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.
- 17% 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 216 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.

No more. As of today, we have now sued 21 states who we allege were thwarting Congress’s clear prohibition on placing aliens over citizens. Our efforts will not cease until @POTUS Trump’s promise is fulfilled: illegal aliens will not receive benefits denied to American citizens.” Read more: https://t.co/DuRvuLL5lQ

🇮🇹 Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing coalition is on track to become the longest-serving uninterrupted government in the nearly 80-year history of the Italian Republic. When Meloni took office in 2022, many opponents predicted she would last no more than six months. On September 4 she will reach 1,413 days in power — longer than any other cabinet since the founding of the republic in 1946. During her tenure, France has had five prime ministers, the UK four, and Germany two chancellors.

- What is Matt Schlapp's engagement rate on X?
- Matt Schlapp (@mschlapp) has an engagement rate of 0.022%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 506,864 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.022%, Matt Schlapp sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,128 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 @mschlapp have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 43% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 @mschlapp post?
- Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.13 posts per day across the measured window.
