Measured over 158 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 3,758 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 66K times each, and 1.30% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.55% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 17.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 158 posts sampled, 42% carry an image or video and 16% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 127K interactions, about 147x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Cernovich's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 58% 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 0.059%, Cernovich sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,378 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    lack of people pairing up into couples and getting married reduces social cohesion in unexpected ways. we got new neighbors. saw the guy outside, said hi. turns out his sister died the day he moved in. obviously, him and i never discussed this. but his wife told my wife - only the two women would communicate that. so my wife got them flowers - and gave them to his wife. now, we’re basically friends overnight. but there’s no way the two men in the situation (him and i) would have done this absent the women. i wouldn’t get a guy flowers (bizarre, to me) and he wouldn’t (from his perspective) dump this information on some random guy he doesn’t know. you begin to understand the complex formalities present in cultures like victorian england or feudal japan that carved clear avenues and back channels for things like this.

    When the feeding our future Somali fraud was first busted in Minnesota they caught fraudsters writing out checks in full for luxury cars. Those cars were later classified as delivery vehicles for their food businesses that weren't real to make them tax deductible. My guess is every Immigrant group is doing this if Somalis are.

    Why do we keep hearing we’re “running out of money” for Social Security but we never hear about running out of money for welfare, SNAP, Medicaid, etc? Entitlement programs for leeches are fully funded forever, but the thing you specifically paid for isn’t? Someone explain this.

    America is falling because we welcomed people from impoverished and dysfunctional countries, they got a better life, and then they hate us for it and want some bizarre ethnic revenge. What a tragic way to lose your home. By being kind. Something has to be done.

    White Americans used to do IT. Everyone with a corporate job 20-30 years ago can confirm. Then their jobs were offshored, they trained their replacements. White guys stopped learning IT. Now there's a "labor shortage." Big Tech Arsonists demanding we give them free fire hoses.

What is Cernovich's engagement rate on X?
Cernovich (@Cernovich) has an engagement rate of 0.059%, based on the median interactions across 158 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,460,097 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.059%, Cernovich sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 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 @Cernovich have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 @Cernovich post?
Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 17.2 posts per day across the measured window.
