@timkmak - 196K followers on X
Measured over 35 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 10, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 26 interactions against 196K followers, an engagement rate of 0.013%. Measured over 35 original posts, its engagement rate beats 27% of 20,444 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 5.0K times each, and 0.52% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.55% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 35 posts sampled, 80% carry an image or video and 6% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 41x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Tim Mak's engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 27% 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

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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 | 80% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 3% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 80% 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.
- 3% 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 279 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.

A man is shot dead by FBI agents outside a Mississippi motel. No name given. No explanation for why they were following him or why they opened fire. That's the case CNN's Isabelle Chapman spent 18 months digging into.

CNN's Isabelle Chapman spent 18 months investigating why the FBI killed a man in a Mississippi parking lot, and never explained why. Agents eventually came to believe he'd been trying to pass along information, thinking he was helping Ukraine... https://t.co/gnbUUw6wDb

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Many young men in Ukraine are leaving the country at war, with the army struggling to fill its ranks. Petro could also flee the country and build a new life in Europe. Instead, he chose to come back. https://t.co/Pzi8ZDGgmO

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Russia pays a fortune to families when their loved ones are killed in Ukraine, bringing money to poorer regions. Serhii exposes how this is fuelling a fake boom in Russia’s poorest regions and why it’s already fading. https://t.co/xrx3nK0zFC

Internet’s been out at the Counteroffensive office all day. We called the wifi company, no one picked up. Russian strikes hit data centers of some internet providers in Kyiv and the Ministry of Digital Transformation said about 100K households are dealing with the same outage.

A hellish week. 7 days straight of air raid alerts, and Russia's drones got jet engines, faster, harder to catch. I'm live with @KofmanMichael , a top expert on Russia's military: can Ukraine's defenses survive this? September 2, 12:00 ET | 17:00 BST | 19:00 EEST Link in bio.

The US might've fired more Patriot missiles in one week of the Iran war than Ukraine has in over 4.5 years of this whole war. The US fires 3 interceptors at once per missile, just to be safe. Ukraine used to do that too but now they're down to firing just one, if that. https://t.co/Bz9vLZKt8T

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 26 interactions against 196K followers, an engagement rate of 0.013%. Measured over 35 original posts, its engagement rate beats 27% of 20,444 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 5.0K times each, and 0.52% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Tim Mak's engagement rate on X?
- Tim Mak (@timkmak) has an engagement rate of 0.013%, based on the median interactions across 35 original posts from the last 30 days against 196,360 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.013%, Tim Mak sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,956 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 @timkmak have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 @timkmak post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.3 posts per day across the measured window.
