A typical post picks up 550 interactions against 545K followers, an engagement rate of 0.101%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,810 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 29K times each, and 1.87% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.41% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 12 posts sampled, 17% carry an image or video and 67% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 21x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Shannon Watts's engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,810 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 68% 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 0.101%, Shannon Watts sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.435%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,960 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,518 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 03:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

    About 440,000 Floridians dropped their ACA plans this year — more than in any other state. Thousands more who kept coverage are struggling to get by, as prices of necessities like groceries and gasoline remain steep, and health insurers project another year of double-digit premium hikes. https://t.co/uQcVs0AxVy

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 550 interactions against 545K followers, an engagement rate of 0.101%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,810 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 29K times each, and 1.87% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.41% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week.

What is Shannon Watts's engagement rate on X?
Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) has an engagement rate of 0.101%, based on the median interactions across 12 original posts from the last 30 days against 544,609 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.101%, Shannon Watts sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,960 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 @shannonrwatts have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,810 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 @shannonrwatts post?
Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.53 posts per day across the measured window.
