Complex engagement report
@Complex - 2.6M followers on X
Measured over 428 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 28 interactions against 2.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 428 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 20K times each, and 0.139% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.779% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 14.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 428 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video and 72% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 56K interactions, about 2013x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nowyouknow, #ondisplay.

Compared with accounts its own size
Complex's engagement rate beats 19% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 13% 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 0.001%, Complex sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 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.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 28 interactions against 2.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 428 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 20K times each, and 0.139% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Complex's engagement rate on X?
- Complex (@Complex) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 428 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,630,564 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, Complex sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,654 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 @Complex have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 19% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @Complex post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 14.73 posts per day across the measured window.
