Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 3.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Measured over 163 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 3,774 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 347K times each, and 0.321% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.95% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 163 posts sampled, 73% carry an image or video and 15% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 62K interactions, about 55x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Dave Portnoy's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 29% 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 22:00 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.

We had a crazy scene today at Barstool World Hq. An uber eats driver got in a fight with Gia in the hallway over her order. Our security guard Dan went into the hall to tell the guy to leave and he attacked him. Beat him up pretty good. @stoolsalesguy saved the day pulling him off. (Thankfully it was Gaz and not Mintzy who arrived 1st) Then the rest of the troops rushed in followed by Cody and Travy for the Boys to help out. Now what we got to pay very close attention to in the security footage we pulled is how @TomScibelli (in red) handled this explosive situation. Bravery like this can not go unnoticed. Totally secured and locked down the office. The police did show up and arrest the guy. Danny may need a few stiches and a couple beers. All in all another day at the Stool. Shoutout Mandami’s NYC

DiJonai Carrington’s entire existence is making a fool out of herself at the hands of Caitlin and the Fever. Caitlin popped her head off and dribbled her like a basketball tonight to the tune of 37 and 10 White privilege indeed 😂 https://t.co/qUqbUd6MzL

I dont think boys should be allowed to play in girls sports. I also think Enes Kanter is an absolute clown for making this issue about him. We should be talking about how Caitlin had another double double 37 and 10 https://t.co/cegEhT8DtD

Measured over 163 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

- What is Dave Portnoy's engagement rate on X?
- Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) has an engagement rate of 0.029%, based on the median interactions across 163 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,875,948 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.029%, Dave Portnoy sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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 @stoolpresidente have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 @stoolpresidente post?
- Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 9 posts per day across the measured window.
