A typical post picks up 2.4K interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.137%. Measured over 87 original posts, its engagement rate beats 88% of 3,881 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 67K times each, and 3.56% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.85% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 87 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 10% are part of a thread and 40% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 43K interactions, about 18x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #mcu, #marvelstudios, #avengersdoomsday.

Compared with accounts its own size

MCU - The Direct's engagement rate beats 88% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,881 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 90% 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 0.137%, MCU - The Direct sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.081% to 0.439%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

This account posts most often around 16:00 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.
