A typical post picks up 2.0K interactions against 96K followers, an engagement rate of 2.04%. Measured over 18 original posts, its engagement rate beats 94% of 3,882 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 227K times each, and 0.859% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 237.4% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 18 posts sampled, 89% carry an image or video and 6% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 26K interactions, about 13x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Illmatic's engagement rate beats 94% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 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 41% 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 2.04%, Illmatic sits above the 75th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.439% to 2.10%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

What is Illmatic's engagement rate on X?
Illmatic (@ball_dont_liee) has an engagement rate of 2.04%, based on the median interactions across 18 original posts from the last 30 days against 95,727 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 2.04%, Illmatic sits above the 75th 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.

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.
