Peter Schiff engagement report
@PeterSchiff - 1.7M followers on X
Measured over 117 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.6K interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.091%. Measured over 117 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% of 3,758 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 101K times each, and 1.55% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.85% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 117 posts sampled, 16% carry an image or video, 5% are part of a thread and 21% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 19K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Peter Schiff's engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 69% 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 15:00 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.

This morning Trump proudly announced a deal to lower beef prices by reducing quotas and tariffs on imported beef. But that's also an admission that tariffs increased prices paid by American consumers. If removing tariffs lowers prices, then imposing them must have raised prices.

I noticed Wikipedia is asking for donations. Never donate anything to Wikipedia. The world would be a better place if Wikipedia didn't exist. It's a highly biased propaganda arm of the radical left, spreading disinformation and fake news to advance a far-left political agenda.

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said the free market is mispricing long-term bond yields. So he wants to use the superior judgment and power of central government planners to correct the mistakes of capitalism. Good thing we didn't elect a Democratic Socialist president.

Treasury just announced that it will buy more long-term Treasuries private investors no longer want to hold to try to keep yields from rising. The money to pay for it will ultimately be created by the Fed, sending inflation soaring. That's why gold is already up $125 on the news!

Gold hitting $4,600, silver near $70, oil over $87, and Bitcoin's earlier spike above $79K show the Fed has lost all credibility on its commitment to returning inflation to 2%. Treasury made it clear the Fed will choose inflation, so investors are choosing their preferred hedge.

BREAKING: US diesel crack, the gap between diesel and crude, has just hit a record $102.20 for the first time in history. Food is about to get a lot more expensive. Agriculture runs on diesel equipment and shipping, heating oil is next ahead of winter, and everything moved by truck or ship will drive inflation higher. The industrial economy either grinds to a halt, or consumers are about to be hit with the biggest energy pass-through in history as refining costs transmit downstream into higher prices for businesses and consumers.

Bessent’s plan to use the TGA to fund Treasury buybacks makes possible exactly what I warned would happen. This reckless plan will substantially shorten the average maturity of the national debt, increasing our exposure to rising short-term rates and making it even harder for the Fed to hike rates without exploding federal interest expense and budget deficits. It’s a recipe for massive QE and runaway inflation. Got gold?

I bought a replacement part for my hyperbaric oxygen chamber for $283. FedEx billed me separately $28.30 for the tariffs and $17.50 to process the tariff payment. So in total, Trump's tariffs forced me to pay an extra 16.2% to import the item. The foreign producer paid nothing.

The national debt is above $39.9 trillion. So there is less than $100 billion to go to hit $40 trillion, which will happen by month-end, if not sooner. As the debt spirals out of control, the Fed will crank up the printing press to buy Treasuries, sending consumer prices soaring.

Instead of changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, the president should focus on actually doing something constructive to deliver on his campaign promise to make America great again. The problem isn't branding, but too much government spending. Do something about that!

Measured over 117 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% of 3,758 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.

It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
