Engagement
A typical post picks up 606 interactions against 434K followers, an engagement rate of 0.14%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 3,739 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 85K times each, and 0.715% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 19.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 25% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.1K interactions, about 5.1x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #goedenavondnederland, #wnl.

Compared with accounts its own size
Pieter Omtzigt's engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 42% 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.

At 0.14%, Pieter Omtzigt sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.432%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

Afgelopen oktober heb ik mijn nieuwe eenmanszaak Equità ingeschreven bij de Kamer van Koophandel. Gewoon omdat ik zin heb om weer aan de slag te gaan en me bezig te houden met maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Dat zijn vaak dezelfde vraagstukken die me ook in mijn politieke carrière interesseerden: de rechtsstaat in Europa, demografie en AI. Ik heb me ingeschreven voor onderzoek en voor spreekbeurten. De eerste onderzoeksklus doe ik bij IKT Twente: een overzicht maken van de initiatieven op AI-gebied in Twente, bij onderwijs, overheid en het bedrijfsleven en een plan hoe dat uit te bouwen. Dit is een project van de Twenteboard. Het is een beetje in het verlengde van eerder werk dat ik deed als econometrist en als ondervoorzitter van de subcommissie AI in de Raad van Europa. Dit werk heb ik in alle rust gedaan totdat RTL mijn inschrijving bij de KvK zag deze week. Werk op de achtergrond beviel ook even best goed na 22 jaar in de schijnwerpers en onder druk in Den Haag en in de Raad van Europa. https://t.co/VAj3Ke4ncP

Pieter Omtzigt en Danielle Jansen begrijpen dat Groningen en Drenthe niet willen krimpen, maar groeien. Maar tienduizenden huizen bouwen de komende 25 jaar terwijl er jaarlijks 3300 meer stergevallen zijn geboortes betekent bouwen voor migratie (1) https://t.co/RuXk6GW1h9

Moest de datakluis van de belastingdienst openbaar worden? U weet wel met heel veel nieuwe toeslagenschandaal documenten De dienst juridische zaken van het ministerie was in februari heel heder: ja zeker en om heel veel redenen (parlement, enquete, WOO). Lees hun advies (1) https://t.co/lCrDuzOusb

Een nieuwe verborgen datakluis bij de belastingdienst zegt heel veel op de openheid. Vandaar een nieuwe opinie: https://t.co/lwv0fpzRxY

Demograaf Jan Latten maakt zich grote zorgen over de lage geboortecijfers in Europa vergeleken met het gemiddelde kindertal in Afrika. "4,4 kind per koppel betekent een enorme Afrikaanse babyboom. Als je geen nakomelingen hebt, komt Afrika hiernaartoe." #WNL #GoedenavondNederland @JanLatten

Een discussie gisteren bij WNL over de groeiplannen van regio's zoals Zuid-Limburg, Twente en Groningen/Assen. Die gaan veel huizen bouwen terwijl de bevolking op natuurlijke wijze krimpt. Dat leidt tot forse migratie zonder planning: onverstandig. https://t.co/kpJk0Iwvku
Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

- What is Pieter Omtzigt's engagement rate on X?
- Pieter Omtzigt (@PieterOmtzigt) has an engagement rate of 0.14%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 433,622 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.14%, Pieter Omtzigt sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 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 @PieterOmtzigt have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 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 @PieterOmtzigt post?
- Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.27 posts per day across the measured window.
