A typical post picks up 284 interactions against 196K followers, an engagement rate of 0.146%. Measured over 69 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% 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 6.3K times each, and 4.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.20% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 69 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 27K interactions, about 94x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Richard's engagement rate beats 66% 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 85% 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 0.146%, Richard sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,676 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.679%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,676 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,897 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects

  • 91% 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.
  • 9% 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 418 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.

    1. US starts war in Ukraine. 2. US tells EU to ban Russian energy. 3. US breaks all other energy supply chains. 4. US tells EU to buy energy at inflated price from US. 5. US gets that energy cheap from Russia to sell to EU at huge profit. That's literally what has happened.

    This child, who was not yet 15, was driven by his innocent instinct to rush and save an injured person lying on the ground. A child went to save another child, but that technology hanging in the sky, controlled by hands that know nothing but killing, showed him no mercy. The moment he arrived, he was targeted, with no mercy for his innocent childhood. Mohammad Al-Zeinati joined thousands of other children in Gaza who have been killed. And still, humanity has yet to find its way to us.

    🇮🇱🇵🇸 THIS IS DISGUSTING AND EVIL Israeli settlers steal lemons and olive trees from a Palestinian family's garden while Israeli soldiers stand by. The Palestinian homeowner films from inside his own house as the settlers laugh, dance and mock him. And what does an Israeli soldier do? Orders the homeowner to STOP FILMING. Imagine being trapped inside your own home, watching people steal your property and humiliate you, while the armed soldiers standing outside tell YOU what to do. This is what Palestinians are being subjected to in the occupied West Bank. Writer: Samuel https://t.co/Gl9qTZdzrQ

    JUST IN: 🇩🇪🇾🇪🇸🇦 Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz complains that Ansarallah (Houthi) drastically worsened the energy crisis in Germany: “The Houthis now control strategic positions around Bab al-Mandab. They are attacking energy facilities in Saudi Arabia. This is further worsening the situation on the energy markets, and Germany is also feeling the effects. The international community cannot allow the Houthis to take shipping in the Red Sea hostage.”

    Saudi Arabia is learning a lesson that money and American weapons could never erase: you cannot buy your way out of geography. For years, Riyadh behaved as though its oil wealth and its alliance with Washington made it immune to the consequences of its regional policies. It accumulated weapons, hosted foreign forces and poured billions into military adventures while treating Iran as an enemy to be contained. Now the bill has arrived. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively strangled and the kingdom’s vital East-West oil pipeline to the Red Sea disrupted, Saudi Arabia’s ability to move its most valuable commodity has been severely compromised. The kingdom can possess some of the world’s largest oil reserves, but reserves sitting underground do not pay the bills. Oil has to reach the market. And suddenly, the country that imagined itself the dominant power of the Gulf may have to knock on Tehran’s door. That is the bitter irony. Iran, the state Saudi Arabia spent years trying to isolate and contain, now possesses enormous leverage over the regional environment in which Saudi Arabia must operate. If Riyadh wants relief, it may have to negotiate with Tehran,and Tehran will not be doing favors out of charity. Iran will demand a price. It will demand political concessions. Security guarantees. Changes in Saudi regional policy. An end to support for hostile operations. Whatever the final bargain looks like, one thing should be obvious: Saudi Arabia will be negotiating from weakness, not strength. And what of the United States? The American military presence has not prevented this strategic nightmare. Billions spent on weapons and decades of dependence on Washington have not abolished the vulnerability created by geography. American bases cannot make the Strait of Hormuz disappear. They cannot permanently protect every pipeline. They cannot manufacture a stable regional order through military force. So perhaps it is time for Riyadh to ask the question it has avoided for generations: Why should Saudi Arabia continue hosting US military forces when those forces have failed to provide the strategic security they promised? The answer should be a complete rethink. Get rid of the permanent American military footprint. Stop treating the Gulf as an arena for American-Iranian confrontation. Stop imagining that endless weapons purchases constitute a foreign policy. And start negotiating directly with the countries that Saudi Arabia actually has to live beside. Because Iran is not going away. Iraq is not going away. Yemen is not going away. The Gulf is not going away. Washington can send aircraft carriers. It can deploy troops. It can sell another hundred billion dollars of weapons. But it cannot change the map. Saudi Arabia's real security will ultimately have to come from diplomacy, regional arrangements and mutually understood limits,not from renting an American shield while antagonizing its neighbors. The age of assuming that Washington will solve every Saudi security problem is over. If Riyadh now has to negotiate with Tehran, it should negotiate seriously. And if that means paying a steep price for years of strategic miscalculation, perhaps that is precisely the point. Sometimes the price of avoiding diplomacy is eventually having to negotiate from your knees.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 284 interactions against 196K followers, an engagement rate of 0.146%. Measured over 69 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% 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 6.3K times each, and 4.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.20% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 69 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 27K interactions, about 94x its own typical post.

What is Richard's engagement rate on X?
Richard (@ricwe123) has an engagement rate of 0.146%, based on the median interactions across 69 original posts from the last 30 days against 196,321 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.146%, Richard sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,676 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 @ricwe123 have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 66% 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 @ricwe123 post?
Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.03 posts per day across the measured window.
