Ben Jacobs engagement report
@JacobsBen - 906K followers on X
Measured over 77 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 29, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.5K interactions against 906K followers, an engagement rate of 0.387%. Measured over 77 original posts, its engagement rate beats 91% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 280K times each, and 1.25% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 30.9% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 77 posts sampled, 84% carry an image or video and 8% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 46K interactions, about 13x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #mcfc, #ucl, #mufc.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ben Jacobs's engagement rate beats 91% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 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 57% 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 16:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

Manchester United delighted with the Carlos Baleba deal. Feeling a year ago was Brighton wanted 'Moises Caicedo' type money even though a price was never offered. 12 months ago, Manchester United were prepared to pay around £75m. They now add Baleba for five million less. Baleba will sign a 5+1 contract subject to formalities.🔴

🚨 Chelsea are considering a move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez, as @David_Ornstein called. Martinez offered to Chelsea following the arrival of Zion Suzuki at Villa Park. #CFC had insisted earlier in the summer they were content with their current keepers, but Martinez has presented as a late-window opportunity. Villa had told Juventus they wanted €10m with the Italian club opting for Guglielmo Vicario instead.🧤
