Riley Gaines engagement report
@Riley_Gaines_ - 1.7M followers on X
Measured over 43 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 3, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 8.4K interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.502%. Measured over 43 original posts, its engagement rate beats 97% of 4,199 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 376K times each, and 2.23% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 22.5% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 43 posts sampled, 74% carry an image or video and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 346K interactions, about 41x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #savegirlsbathrooms, #savegirlssports, #xx.

Compared with accounts its own size
Riley Gaines's engagement rate beats 97% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,199 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 78% 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 01:00 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.

I don't any words right now & I probably won't for a long time. Lord be with his family, TPUSA staff, all who knew him, and all who admired him. No one loved this nation, God, or the truth more than Charlie. https://t.co/q146Xyjq2l

Look at his wingspan. Look how he towers over the girls. It just makes the insanity all the more obvious. The @WNBA is unsalvageable at this point. I stand with @EnesFreedom. https://t.co/if0vjuDRE7

Fever coach, Stephanie White, defends DiJonai Carrington. You would never see this in the NBA. Or any professional men's league. No men's coach would defend the player & team who assaulted one of their own, even if it was justified. They just wouldn't. https://t.co/lC1MASDvgq

“For the unvaccinated you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.” As time passes, I only get more angry. Righteous anger. https://t.co/G9dQpIVfcT

As a young woman who wants a big family, I'm so glad I never got the shot. To the women who did, I'm so sorry you were lied to by "the science" This whole thing has made me sick

🚨 I Invite Cathy Engelbert to Come Milk My BULL @Riley_Gaines_ : “If you have to have a meeting to figure out what a woman is, then you’re not fit to lead an organization… I’ve got a farm, and on my farm I have a heifer, and I have a bull. If Cathy Engelbert is confused about gender, I would invite her to come milk my bull and see how well that works for her.”
