The Sirius Report engagement report
@thesiriusreport - 236K followers on X
Measured over 31 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 10, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 166 interactions against 236K followers, an engagement rate of 0.07%. Measured over 31 original posts, its engagement rate beats 44% of 6,874 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 9.1K times each, and 1.83% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.84% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% 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 31 posts sampled, 35% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 985 interactions, about 5.9x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Sirius Report's engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 60% 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 0.07%, The Sirius Report sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,258 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.016% to 0.1%.

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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 3% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 35% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 3% 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.
- 35% 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 188 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.

Saudi is about to increase its trading of oil with China in Yuan. More importantly it will be in an official capacity.

It still seems poorly understood that the US went to war with Iran because they couldn't destroy them economically, after trying for 47 years. So now it looks like Trump is seeking to declare the war is over and the US is back to maximum economic sanctions once again. The paper tiger has exposed itself, once again.

Washington finally got the message that China has 40k tons of gold. Although it is now 52k tons. I told them back in 2015 that this was the case. It often takes years for reality to permeate the grey matter of the Beltway.

Repeat after me: The AfD win in Germany wasn’t a vote FOR anything. It was a vote AGAINST something else It really is that simple, so please stop all the hand-wringing

Westerners still don't understand that China is a nation of prolific savers. They don't feel the need to consume unnecessarily. Meanwhile in the West we are consumption junkies buying garbage to impress the friends we don't have.

Bessent sees oil down to $40 post Iran war. Someone ought to remind him that at those prices US Shale Oil is doomed. It is hilarious listening to US politicians who sound so convincing despite having so little understanding.

It is getting painful like a karate kick to the gonads that people still don't grasp that any war between Europe and Russia is over in 5 mins with Europe incinerated. Everyone in the Western hierarchy knows this and hence why it will never happen. It is also why listening to Western officials contradicting this assertion is meaningless.

We have discussed the use of barter in trade for years. Note rather like China has done with Iraq, Beijing will build an airport in Iran and in return Tehran will give China oil No need for USD. Barter in trade is more commonplace than conventional wisdom believes.

Apparently it is a marriage of convenience between China and Russia and really they hate each other. Clown show in the West is embarrassing: Russia and China joint investment portfolio now involves 66 major projects and 28 prospective projects. There are likely to be many others that are not being disclosed.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 166 interactions against 236K followers, an engagement rate of 0.07%. Measured over 31 original posts, its engagement rate beats 44% of 6,874 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 9.1K times each, and 1.83% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.84% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is The Sirius Report's engagement rate on X?
- The Sirius Report (@thesiriusreport) has an engagement rate of 0.07%, based on the median interactions across 31 original posts from the last 30 days against 235,868 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.07%, The Sirius Report sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,258 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 @thesiriusreport have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 @thesiriusreport post?
- Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
