A typical post picks up 173 interactions against 856K followers, an engagement rate of 0.02%. Measured over 93 original posts, its engagement rate beats 45% of 3,809 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 20K times each, and 0.875% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.31% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 93 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 18K interactions, about 105x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Steve Hanke's engagement rate beats 45% 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 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 0.02%, Steve Hanke sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

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.

What is Steve Hanke's engagement rate on X?
Steve Hanke (@steve_hanke) has an engagement rate of 0.02%, based on the median interactions across 93 original posts from the last 30 days against 855,648 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.02%, Steve Hanke sits above the 25th 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 @steve_hanke have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 45% 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 @steve_hanke post?
Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.67 posts per day across the measured window.
