Engagement
A typical post picks up 502 interactions against 592K followers, an engagement rate of 0.085%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,862 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 188K times each, and 0.267% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 31.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 41K interactions, about 81x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Rory Stewart's engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 21% 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 11:00 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.

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵

Extraordinary allegations from @benhabib6 !! Ben Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson. He also claims the undeclared £5m "gift" Farage received in 2024 from Harborne was payment for Farage to take over as party leader of Reform UK and stand in Clacton.

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett: We have lost the United States. We have lost the world. We are at the most terrible low point in Israel’s international standing since the establishment of the state. We have to work on this. In the next government, we will establish a national public-diplomacy body under the Prime Minister’s Office. Just as there is Unit 8200 for intelligence, we will establish 8300 for the battle over public consciousness and influence. It will take the fight to Qatar, Iran, and the enemies of Israel. This time, I’m talking about it on steroids.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 502 interactions against 592K followers, an engagement rate of 0.085%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,862 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 188K times each, and 0.267% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 31.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 41K interactions, about 81x its own typical post.
- What is Rory Stewart's engagement rate on X?
- Rory Stewart (@RoryStewartUK) has an engagement rate of 0.085%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 591,552 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.085%, Rory Stewart sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,582 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 @RoryStewartUK have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 @RoryStewartUK post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.1 posts per day across the measured window.
