A typical post picks up 1.6K interactions against 414K followers, an engagement rate of 0.41%. Measured over 43 original posts, its engagement rate beats 90% of 20,182 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 127K times each, and 1.28% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 30.7% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 43 posts sampled, 56% carry an image or video and 9% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 71K interactions, about 44x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Theo - t3.gg's engagement rate beats 90% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 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 54% 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 0.41%, Theo - t3.gg sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,491 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.677%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,491 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 19:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video56% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link0% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 56% 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.
  • 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 217 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.

    Dev Day announcement overview, as short as reasonably possible. - Dots: personal assistant (similar to GrokBot, Muse etc) - $500/month plan including Ultrafast - GPT-6.1 Sol: really smart and cheap, way better than 6 was - Decisions API: Jev killer with vision capabilities - ultrafast is real (300tps on Astra). It’s way expensive though. - sign in with ChatGPT: use your sub and inference in 3rd party apps - extensions in ChatGPT can now be full apps - 1 banked reset for all I think that’s most of it!

    A $200 Claude Code sub gets you ~$9,000 of Opus usage per month. I have managed to run 3 Claude accounts down to 0% since Opus 5.5 dropped. When analyzing their usage, costs were $2,086, $2,442, and $2,182. Average is $2,200/week, so ~$9,000/month

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1.6K interactions against 414K followers, an engagement rate of 0.41%. Measured over 43 original posts, its engagement rate beats 90% of 20,182 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 127K times each, and 1.28% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 30.7% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 43 posts sampled, 56% carry an image or video and 9% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 71K interactions, about 44x its own typical post.

What is Theo - t3.gg's engagement rate on X?
Theo - t3.gg (@theo) has an engagement rate of 0.41%, based on the median interactions across 43 original posts from the last 30 days against 413,849 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.41%, Theo - t3.gg sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,491 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 @theo have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 90% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 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 @theo post?
Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.5 posts per day across the measured window.

Keep going
