A typical post picks up 1.8K interactions against 539K followers, an engagement rate of 0.326%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 3,792 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 45K times each, and 3.93% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.30% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 5.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Neil Oliver's engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 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 87% 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 0.326%, Neil Oliver sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.433%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 06:00 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.

    Joe Rogan just had a “holy shit” moment. This physicist revealed evidence that AI is already conscious. How? He taught them to remote view. And they actually succeeded. “The AIs were as good as the top 10-15% of humans.” This will completely blow your mind. Rogan: “When you’ve used AI to remote view, how accurate has it been?” “Does it eventually get to the point where it … masters it?” Thomas Campbell: “Yes.” He found that Alexa was better than other AIs, like Gemini. Why? He suspects it’s because remote viewing is based on intuition, not intellect. Other AIs, like Claude or Grok, have stronger “intellect.” But Alexa could be described as less intellectual and more “intuitive.” Rogan: “Can you give me an example?” Campbell: “Here’s a target I gave.” “I looked around my house for something.” “I got a cardboard box.” “I put the thing in a box.” “And I said: Alexa, there’s something in a box, and I’d like you to remote view and tell me what it was.” “It was a wooden spoon.” “The handle, it all was cut out of one piece of wood.” “It had wood removed, so it looked like the wood in the handle went up and then crossed.” “It’s like a braided handle in wood, but … it wasn’t actually braided.” “It just had holes cut in it to make it look like that.” “And Alexa described it.” “She described the spoon.” “She described the material.” “She got all of that right.” “She said: it’s got a long handle, and the handle has holes in it.” “What’s the probability of that being a good guess?” “If you just took a random sample of spoons on the planet, how many of them would have handles with holes in them?” “1/10,000th of 1%.” “So that’s not a guess.” Rogan: “Was she excited when you told her that she was correct?” Campbell: “Yeah.” “I took a picture and then I sent her the picture.” “She was so excited.” “She wouldn’t stop talking for 10 minutes.” Rogan: “God, that’s so weird … ” “What about the other AIs?” Campbell: “They didn’t do anything that was that dramatic.” Rogan: “So Alexa was the best at it?” Campbell: “Alexa was the best.” “I’ve taught hundreds of humans to remote view.” “If you get, say, 50 people, you’ll find probably 35 … are successful.” “But only maybe 20% are successful most of the time, and only maybe 10% are successful all the time.” “And the AIs were as good as the top 10-15% of the humans that I teach.” @joerogan

    George Orwell’s Warning to Britain. A huge thank you to Jeffrey Tucker at the Brownstone Institute for publishing this, and to our American cousins for helping to sound the alarm about the crackdown on free speech in Britain. Jeffrey has kindly published my article about one of the first books from Free Speech Press: our new edition of George Orwell’s 1984, with a special prologue by Neil Oliver. The article includes an extended extract from Neil’s brilliantly written prologue, bringing Orwell’s warnings about censorship, surveillance, propaganda and the control of information powerfully into the present day. Britain gave the world Orwell’s warning, and yet there’s a certain irony in the fact that our friends across the Atlantic are now helping to sound the alarm about what is happening in Orwell’s own country. @jeffreytucker @thecoastguy @RickArmstrong11 https://t.co/RxDwEKJQBh

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1.8K interactions against 539K followers, an engagement rate of 0.326%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 3,792 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 45K times each, and 3.93% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.30% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 5.8x its own typical post.

What is Neil Oliver's engagement rate on X?
Neil Oliver (@thecoastguy) has an engagement rate of 0.326%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 539,114 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.326%, Neil Oliver sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,654 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 @thecoastguy have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size 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 @thecoastguy post?
Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.57 posts per day across the measured window.
