Engagement
A typical post picks up 429 interactions against 423K followers, an engagement rate of 0.101%. Measured over 13 original posts, its engagement rate beats 65% 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 39K times each, and 1.10% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.22% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 13 posts sampled, 69% carry an image or video, 8% are part of a thread and 54% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.5K interactions, about 8.1x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Saifedean Ammous's engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 50% 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.

At 0.101%, Saifedean Ammous sits above the 50th percentile of the 68,879 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.1% to 0.5%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 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 | 69% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 54% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 69% 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.
- 54% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 221 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.

Property Rights: The Root Cause of the Palestinian/Israeli Conflict The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the inevitable result of the destruction of a centuries-old system of private property rights and its replacement by race-based state ownership. Since 1947, property rights in Palestine have been replaced by a government agency that owns the majority of land, constantly steals more, never sells, and only leases land to one racial group. Religious and racial conflict are not destined in Palestine; they are historically rare occurrences, but this system of property rights would create violent conflict anywhere. In 1945, the British mandate government surveyed land ownership in Palestine and found that Jews owned 5.67% of the total land, while Muslims, Christians & other denominations owned 48.31% of the land. The remaining 46.02% was public land, mainly in the sparsely inhabited desert in the south, most of which was de facto owned by the Bedouins who herded there. Among the privately-owned lands, only 10.5% was owned by Jews, while 89.5% was owned by non-Jews. There was not a single district in Palestine in which Jews owned a majority of the land, as this illustration makes clear.[1] In 1917, when the Balfour Declaration was issued, the Jewish population ranged from 4% to 13%. In 1945, the population of Palestine was 1,764,520, of which 69% were Muslim and Christian, and 31% were Jewish.[2] The majority of the Jewish population was recent immigrants from Europe, many illegal. Even after decades of legal and illegal immigration, land purchases financed by European benefactors, and terrorism against Palestinian civilians and British forces, the Zionist movement had less than a third of the population of Palestine, and owned less than 6% of its land when it established its ethnostate. To establish an ethnostate on a land in which the right ethnicity was less than a third of the population, and owned less than a twelfth of the land, Zionist terrorists engaged in a premeditated and systematic campaign of terrorism, murder, and violent expulsion, meticulously planned from the 1930s, ruthlessly executed against a largely unarmed population, and practically continuing until this day, explaining the conflict’s longevity. This has been extensively documented by Palestinian historians, such as Walid Khalidi and Rashid Khalidi, as well as by Israeli historians like Ilan Pappe and Benny Morris.[3] [Continues in next tweet]

Gadi Eisenkot, a leading challenger for Israeli prime minister in the upcoming election, on the Palestinian state: “I am against the establishment of a Palestinian state. I have said this on many occasions. I have never said the solution is two states for two peoples. In the reality that has been created, pursuing peace right now and two states for two peoples is unrealistic, strategically wrong, and a risk to the State of Israel.”

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 429 interactions against 423K followers, an engagement rate of 0.101%. Measured over 13 original posts, its engagement rate beats 65% 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 39K times each, and 1.10% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Saifedean Ammous's engagement rate on X?
- Saifedean Ammous (@saifedean) has an engagement rate of 0.101%, based on the median interactions across 13 original posts from the last 30 days against 423,300 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.101%, Saifedean Ammous sits above the 50th percentile of the 68,879 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 @saifedean have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 65% 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 @saifedean post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.27 posts per day across the measured window.
