A typical post picks up 286 interactions against 310K followers, an engagement rate of 0.092%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 58% 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 25K times each, and 1.16% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.98% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 64% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 23K interactions, about 81x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Peter St Onge, Ph.D.'s engagement rate beats 58% 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 47% 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 0.092%, Peter St Onge, Ph.D. sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,475 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,475 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,893 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 01:00 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 01:00 UTC.

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 video64% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link36% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 64% 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.
  • 36% 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 301 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

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.

    🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says US GDP growth could be up to +20% PERCENT if the Fed just got out of the way "We could have a GDP of 14, 15, 16 and 20. But every time you do well, we just announced great numbers and so now they're talking about raising interest rates, it's RIDICULOUS because success and growth does not cause inflation!" "If we announced good numbers, interest rates went DOWN . Now if you announce good numbers, interest rates go UP because they're so afraid of inflation!" "But what they're doing is they're really saying you can never do, you can never really step on the gas."

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 286 interactions against 310K followers, an engagement rate of 0.092%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 58% 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 25K times each, and 1.16% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.98% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 64% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 23K interactions, about 81x its own typical post.

What is Peter St Onge, Ph.D.'s engagement rate on X?
Peter St Onge, Ph.D. (@profstonge) has an engagement rate of 0.092%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 309,889 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.092%, Peter St Onge, Ph.D. sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,475 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 @profstonge have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 58% 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 @profstonge post?
Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.37 posts per day across the measured window.
