A typical post picks up 3.0K interactions against 5.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.059%. Measured over 197 original posts, its engagement rate beats 77% of 3,774 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 72K times each, and 4.13% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.41% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 20.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 197 posts sampled, 80% carry an image or video and 12% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 76K interactions, about 26x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #restorebritain, #americamissesobama, #bluewavein80days.

Compared with accounts its own size

John Cleese's engagement rate beats 77% 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 92% 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%, John Cleese sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 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 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 14:00 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.

    BREAKING - This mother and daughter paid $1,000 per ticket to attend today’s Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream game at State Farm Arena, specifically to see Sophie Cunningham — a woman they respect and admire for taking a clear stance against biological men in women’s sports. They wore XX/XY shirts in support of that same message. The back of the daughter’s shirt simply read “For the girls.” Arena staff gave them two options: cover the shirts or leave. They were handed shirts to put on over their own. Earlier in the game, a woman wearing a “Protect Trans Rights” shirt was prominently featured on the Jumbotron. Only after receiving that stadium spotlight was she also told to cover her shirt. A women’s league run by women decided a shirt saying “For the girls” was too offensive and controversial to wear. Meanwhile, State Farm Arena will put a pro-trans message on the big screen — but won’t allow a shirt that states a basic biological truth. The WNBA and stadiums like State Farm Arena continue to be a national embarrassment.

    It's been reported that Labour's new farming minister fainted 'at the sight of meat' while touring a beef freezer. I am going to formally invite the minister on a tour of a halal slaughterhouse with me, and other willing MPs, to witness true horror. He will vomit a kidney.

    A woman thought Drake looked “dangerous” on a plane. She didn’t know he spent six years serving with Marine Special Operations. He survived gunfire, shrapnel and an IED blast while protecting his team—and helped save over 40 lives. Not dangerous. A hero. https://t.co/igloVkCKpg

    If you are a guest in someone’s home, you don’t demand they change the house rules for you. Immigrants have a duty to adapt to the laws, culture, and values of the nation that welcomed them. Citizenship should be an achievement you earn and respect, not an automatic claim on welfare and benefits.
