Engagement
A typical post picks up 194 interactions against 553K followers, an engagement rate of 0.035%. Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 53% of 21,874 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 22K times each, and 0.869% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.04% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 16 posts sampled, 63% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 6% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 22K interactions, about 112x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Alex Berenson's engagement rate beats 53% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 43% 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 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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 | 63% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 6% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 63% 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.
- 6% 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 184 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.

Anthropic and OpenAI delaying their IPO, because their S-1 will reveal that they are bleeding money, and have no path to profitability. Solution? "AI slowdown", so they cut costs for training new models. It has everything to do with IPO, and nothing to do with safety.

It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission. Don’t think of it as a vaccine. Think of it - at best - as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS. And we want to mandate it? Insanity.

It's time to let the Lindsay Clancy jury go home. Like it or not (and I don't), this is what reasonable doubt looks like. If 12 people in a room for a week can't agree she's guilty, the prosecution has failed, and pushing them further is unfair to them and to her.

There's a story that if AI destroys jobs and you give everyone a universal basic income, they will spend each day joyfully doing wonderful, creative things. The truth is most of them will stare at screens, take drugs, and suffer from loneliness and anomie.

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

Clearly, just as the OJ verdict was a signal moment in race relations - and not in a good way - a Lindsay Clancy acquittal will open a chasm between the (white) women who defend or excuse it and the rest of us. Identity group politics never look worse than in criminal cases.

- What is Alex Berenson's engagement rate on X?
- Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) has an engagement rate of 0.035%, based on the median interactions across 16 original posts from the last 30 days against 553,297 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.035%, Alex Berenson sits above the 25th percentile of the 218,920 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 53% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,874 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 @AlexBerenson post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.4 posts per day across the measured window.
