Engagement
A typical post picks up 390 interactions against 552K followers, an engagement rate of 0.071%. Measured over 38 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% 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 15K times each, and 2.55% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.78% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 38 posts sampled, 5% carry an image or video and 95% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 58K interactions, about 148x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Not the Bee's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 77% 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 14:00 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.

- What is Not the Bee's engagement rate on X?
- Not the Bee (@Not_the_Bee) has an engagement rate of 0.071%, based on the median interactions across 38 original posts from the last 30 days against 551,948 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.071%, Not the Bee sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,214 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 @Not_the_Bee have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 64% 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 @Not_the_Bee post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.37 posts per day across the measured window.
