Engagement
A typical post picks up 526 interactions against 556K followers, an engagement rate of 0.095%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% of 4,273 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 33K times each, and 1.61% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.88% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 60% carry an image or video, 50% are part of a thread and 20% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.9K interactions, about 17x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Alex Berenson's engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 64% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

Fun fact: NOT ONE PERSON IN THE US HAS DIED OF MEASLES IN 2026. Not one. We've had a total of 127 measles hospitalizations this year - 0.001% of all hospital stays. And the outbreaks peaked FIVE MONTHS AGO. I favor measles vaccination. But can the media please drop the drama? https://t.co/pNIAFKEk0N

Please stop comparing Andrea Yates and Lindsay Clancy. Yates killed her kids to send them to Heaven. She arranged their dead bodies so they would protect each other after she killed them. Yates was insane by any definition. Clancy killed her children because she couldn't admit she was unfit to care for them - and she feared losing them if she did. Giving her the benefit of the doubt: she knew she was in trouble, she wanted help, but she didn't want to admit how sick she really was. Maybe that makes her insane. But that's not the standard for insanity legally. And I don't think it should be. Killing your own children is always an irrational, evil, monstrous act. But parents sometimes kill their own children when they fear losing them - particularly in custody fights. And no one gives those fathers and mothers the benefit of the doubt. No one pretends they are legally insane. I believe in a narrow insanity standard, PARTICULARLY when the crime is inexplicable and monstrous. The psychosis has to lie in the perpetrator and not the act.

Thanks to the great @NellieBowles of @TheFP for saying it Six years ago, health bureaucrats and blue-state politicians sacrificed the mental health of the young for zero reason. They still haven’t admitted the long-run impact https://t.co/X8kKjFpctA

One fact no one gets (and this is not really about Lindsay Clancy): Doctors are basically barred from seeing a patient's earlier prescriptions (or even talking to her other treating physicians) without her consent. This gives drug-seeking, doctor-shopping patients a huge edge.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 526 interactions against 556K followers, an engagement rate of 0.095%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% of 4,273 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 33K times each, and 1.61% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.88% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 60% carry an image or video, 50% are part of a thread and 20% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.9K interactions, about 17x its own typical post.
- What is Alex Berenson's engagement rate on X?
- Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) has an engagement rate of 0.095%, based on the median interactions across 10 original posts from the last 30 days against 555,623 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.095%, Alex Berenson sits above the 50th percentile of the 41,299 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 @AlexBerenson have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 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 @AlexBerenson post?
- Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.07 posts per day across the measured window.
