Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size
richard bacon's engagement rate beats 64% 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 21% 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 08:00 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.

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away. Well deserved! https://t.co/0ziLpVZRRs

😳 Isabel Oakeshott did not hold back on TalkTV this morning. Speaking about the death of former Cambridge professor Jason Arday, she was extremely blunt and to the point: “Suicide is the most horrendous thing that anyone can do to themselves or their family. It is an utterly, utterly tragic and selfish thing to do. It is not anyone else’s fault. It is on the person that took that decision.” She continued: “Bluntly, Jason Arday was a fraud. He had made things up to get to the position that he was in. Massively embellishing his credentials and made a whole career out of that. Then it all came tumbling down and he wasn’t tough enough to ride it out.” Oakeshott rejected attempts to blame the media or anyone else, insisting no one is responsible for another person’s decision to take their own life and that Arday’s academic career had been built on dishonesty that finally collapsed under scrutiny. No punches pulled.

The BBC reports on a study which apparently shows that @sadiqKhan's ULEZ fines on motorists helped children's stunted lungs recover in London from 2019 to 2023. Hmmm 🤔. I wonder if there was anything else that might have happened soon after 2019 that *might* have played a role? Something that might have made the news and perhaps led to a total collapse in traffic in London more than anywhere else? Any ideas? 🤷🏻♀️ https://t.co/tsDL4EScRj

Trump: I had an uncle who was a great scientist, a great man. He was at MIT for 41 years Dr. John Trump. And he loved space. He used to tell me about space… he would throw in the word nuclear every once in a while. Genetically, I believe in that stuff. https://t.co/2w3Om6blH4

- What is richard bacon's engagement rate on X?
- richard bacon (@richardpbacon) has an engagement rate of 0.058%, based on the median interactions across 16 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,134,254 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.058%, richard bacon 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 @richardpbacon have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 64% 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 @richardpbacon post?
- Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.43 posts per day across the measured window.
