A typical post picks up 165 interactions against 86K followers, an engagement rate of 0.193%. Measured over 61 original posts, its engagement rate beats 63% 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 2.6K times each, and 6.28% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.07% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 61 posts sampled, 10% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 22K interactions, about 133x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Pastor Rich Bitterman's engagement rate beats 63% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 90% 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.

At 0.193%, Pastor Rich Bitterman sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.678%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,374 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,897 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 00:00 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.

  • 10% 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.
  • 2% 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 369 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

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.

    So I’ve been very reluctant to post about this, as it’s deeply personal, but about a week ago I converted to Christianity. I tried very hard to convince myself otherwise, but I kept having this nagging sensation that I couldn’t shake off, like someone was calling my name just out of earshot. I’ve had very complicated feelings about God for as long as I can remember, and have gone back and forth between atheism and a deep anger for years, but for some reason the anger has disappeared. The world is still a mess, and the amount of suffering is still unfathomable, but instead of being angry at God, I’m feeling this…pull instead. Not towards any specific denomination, but towards Christ. I’ve always been the kind of person who needs proof, and while I’ve wanted to believe for a long time, I was never able to get from “I wish there was a loving God” to actually believing in one. I don’t know what’s made the difference; there was no blinding moment of revelation. There’s just this call that I can’t ignore any longer. Every time things get quiet, I feel it tugging at me — gently but implacably. I’ve been reading CS Lewis, and the first four books of the New Testament, and while I have no plans to start going to church, or to change the focus of this account, I’ve stopped trying to convince myself that I’m imagining things. I never expected to feel this way, but I do, and denying it any longer would be wrong.

    I can open a Bible anytime I want. Christians before me bled, suffered and died without ever knowing that privilege. May God forbid that easy access ever make me treat His Word casually.

    Philip said, “Show us the Father.” Jesus answered, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” Jesus is God.

    Satan is the accuser. He turns your eyes inward until you drown in guilt, fear, and despair. The Spirit is the Comforter. He turns your eyes to Jesus, where weary souls find rest.

    Jesus never said, “Don’t judge.” He said, “Judge with right judgment.” (John 7:24) Christians are called to discern what is right, what is wrong and what is sin.

    I’m far less concerned with predicting when Jesus will return than I am with being ready when He does. The calendar is His. Faithfulness today is mine.

    Elijah prayed for rain because God had promised it. Then he sent his servant to look toward the sea. The answer came back: nothing. So Elijah prayed again...still nothing. By the sixth trip, the horizon looked exactly as empty as it had before. That is the part of the story I understand. Your prayer may have had the same name in it for years. You may have asked God so many times that the words come more quietly now. Elijah kept praying because he was holding onto what God had already said. He was not forcing an outcome. He was trusting the One who had spoken. On the seventh trip, the servant finally saw a cloud “as small as a man’s hand” rising from the sea (1 Kings 18:44). I love that the answer began so small, but I also need the six empty trips. They remind me that faith does not require me to pretend I see something when I do not. It simply keeps bringing the same honest request to the same faithful God. I do not know when the answer will come or what shape it will take. I only know this: silence is not the same as absence. So if tomorrow morning brings the same report again, I will pray again. And if all I can see is an empty horizon, I will remember that God can see beyond it.

What is Pastor Rich Bitterman's engagement rate on X?
Pastor Rich Bitterman (@w_bitterman) has an engagement rate of 0.193%, based on the median interactions across 61 original posts from the last 30 days against 85,585 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.193%, Pastor Rich Bitterman sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,374 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 @w_bitterman have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 63% 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 @w_bitterman post?
Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.5 posts per day across the measured window.
