Engagement
A typical post picks up 812 interactions against 910K followers, an engagement rate of 0.089%. Measured over 24 original posts, its engagement rate beats 71% of 3,829 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 146K times each, and 0.556% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 16.0% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 24 posts sampled, 46% carry an image or video and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 18x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Dave Smith's engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 35% 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.

Bout to jump on the @piersmorgan show. This was from about a year ago when the defenders of the so called “12-day war” were bragging about how easy a success it was. I said we were at halftime. A year later, it was a rough second half. https://t.co/nUyVvrr56L

- What is Dave Smith's engagement rate on X?
- Dave Smith (@ComicDaveSmith) has an engagement rate of 0.089%, based on the median interactions across 24 original posts from the last 30 days against 910,026 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.089%, Dave Smith sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,071 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 @ComicDaveSmith have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 @ComicDaveSmith post?
- Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.8 posts per day across the measured window.
