Measured over 28 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 92 interactions against 389K followers, an engagement rate of 0.024%. Measured over 28 original posts, its engagement rate beats 30% of 3,829 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 12K times each, and 0.765% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.11% 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, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 28 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 687 interactions, about 7.5x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
VGC's engagement rate beats 30% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 35% 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 0.024%, VGC sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 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.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 92 interactions against 389K followers, an engagement rate of 0.024%. Measured over 28 original posts, its engagement rate beats 30% of 3,829 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 12K times each, and 0.765% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.11% 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, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 28 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 687 interactions, about 7.5x its own typical post.
- What is VGC's engagement rate on X?
- VGC (@VGC_News) has an engagement rate of 0.024%, based on the median interactions across 28 original posts from the last 30 days against 388,670 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.024%, VGC sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 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 @VGC_News have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 30% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 @VGC_News post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.13 posts per day across the measured window.
