A typical post picks up 989 interactions against 1.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.073%. Measured over 72 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,758 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 44K times each, and 2.23% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.28% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 72 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video and 26% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 56K interactions, about 58x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Scott Adams's engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 73% 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.073%, Scott Adams sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 04:00 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.

    I finally figured out what's wrong with "everything." It's a system problem. The introduction of Trump into the system(s) broke almost everything, and in multiple ways. The fake news created a White Supremacist hysteria, which led to the Fine People Hoax and the George Floyd Hoax, which led to massive DEI, which led to massive systemic incompetence in all of our systems at once. Add wokeness and cancelation and we can't discuss the issue, much less fix it. That's a system problem. The corrective mechanism (free speech) has been removed. On top of that, the Trump experience has made it clear all of our government systems are corrupt. They probably always were, but as long as we didn't notice, things limped along okay. Now we notice. Now we don't accept "the science" we know is corrupt. We don't accept the omnibus bills we know are corrupt. We don't accept the foreign wars that look sketchy. We don't accept elections we can't fully audit. We don't trust the news, for good reason. We don't trust our intel services to not be agents of one party. And we see the justice departments weaponized. While all that happened Soros found a way to take control of all American systems via funding of non-government entities and integrating them into the American systems. But at the head of the snake is the fake news and fake science. There is no correcting mechanism. The X platform is the only counterforce, and that's why the crooks are trying to take it out, and Musk at the same time.

    Netanyahu says Israel can take out the Iranian nuclear program without America’s help. I’m glad that’s settled.

    Stefan Molyneux: We took the pain out of women’s bad decisions. Then we acted shocked they stopped being careful. If she doesn’t marry, welfare. STD, free healthcare. Child outside wedlock, the state. Divorce, custody 90% of the time, alimony, child support. “We’ve just said to women, you will never suffer any negative material consequences from your bad decisions.” Morality comes from negative consequences. Take them away and people go crazy. We’ve done that for two or three generations of Western women and shifted the bill to men. @StefanMolyneux

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 989 interactions against 1.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.073%. Measured over 72 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,758 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 44K times each, and 2.23% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.28% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 72 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video and 26% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 56K interactions, about 58x its own typical post.

What is Scott Adams's engagement rate on X?
Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) has an engagement rate of 0.073%, based on the median interactions across 72 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,356,479 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.073%, Scott Adams sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 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 @ScottAdamsSays have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 @ScottAdamsSays post?
Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.8 posts per day across the measured window.
