A typical post picks up 178 interactions against 82K followers, an engagement rate of 0.216%. Measured over 21 original posts, its engagement rate beats 63% 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 7.6K times each, and 2.36% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.16% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 21 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video and 76% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.0K interactions, about 17x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Will Hutton's engagement rate beats 63% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 4 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 66% 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 0.216%, Will Hutton sits above the 50th percentile of the 66,536 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.1% to 0.5%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 66,536 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 56,995 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 08:00 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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video19% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link76% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 19% 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.
  • 76% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 296 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.

    🚨 BREAKING INTERVIEW: SIR ALEX FERGUSON ON ARSENAL Interviewer: Sir Alex, Arsenal have been handed Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Napoli, Lille, Real Betis, Slavia Prague and Sabah. Your thoughts on the draw? Sir Alex Ferguson: That is not a group you look at and think Arsenal have been lucky. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich alone tell you the level they are operating at now. Arsenal are no longer a club hoping to compete with Europe’s biggest teams they are one of them. Interviewer: Do you think Arsenal have become one of Europe’s biggest clubs again? Ferguson: Without question. Look at the last few years. They have built a team capable of competing at the highest level, and reaching the Champions League final last season was proof of that. There is a different mentality around the club now. Interviewer: And could we see Arsenal back in the final? Ferguson: I wouldn't be surprised at all. In fact, I can see them in Madrid again. Interviewer: You mean another Champions League final at the Metropolitano? Ferguson: Yes. Arsenal have unfinished business. Losing a final changes you. If they use that disappointment properly, it can make them even more dangerous. Interviewer: So your prediction? Ferguson: Arsenal will go deep into this competition. And if I had to choose one team I wouldn't want to meet in a final… Arsenal would certainly be on that list. Arsenal are no longer chasing Europe’s giants. They are one of them. #AFC

    Drought, extreme heat, raging wildfires- yet the former consensus on climate change has evaporated. Instead the right argue net zero is a fiction and a con. Adapt to the climate crisis: but do nothing to stop it. This is becoming a civilisational threat. https://t.co/M8NyDx2upI

    Given the crisis in the provision of social housing, why are council house sales continuing? At the very least no sale should be permitted unless every sale is replaced by a new build. Venting fury on ‘ foreigners’ is divisive, displacement activity.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 178 interactions against 82K followers, an engagement rate of 0.216%. Measured over 21 original posts, its engagement rate beats 63% 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 7.6K times each, and 2.36% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.16% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 21 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video and 76% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.0K interactions, about 17x its own typical post.

What is Will Hutton's engagement rate on X?
Will Hutton (@williamnhutton) has an engagement rate of 0.216%, based on the median interactions across 21 original posts from the last 30 days against 82,486 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.216%, Will Hutton sits above the 50th percentile of the 66,536 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 @williamnhutton have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 63% 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 @williamnhutton post?
Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.13 posts per day across the measured window.
