A typical post picks up 1.5K interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.102%. Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 73% of 3,739 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 98K times each, and 1.54% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.67% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 42 posts sampled, 52% carry an image or video and 29% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 50K interactions, about 33x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Brit Hume's engagement rate beats 73% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 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 63% 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 0.102%, Brit Hume sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.432%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,378 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 17:00 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.

    “The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT…” - President Donald J. Trump

    Gen. Jack Keane just dropped a truth bomb this morning on FOX: Our intelligence services know the Pakistani and Qatari mediators “are compromised because they favor Iran at the expense of the United States.” They have misled the Trump administration about Tehran’s real intentions. Then Keane went after Saudi Arabia. He cited four instances of Saudi influence pulling the president back from wider military action. When the U.S. was ready to open the Strait forcibly, the Saudis denied us their airbase and airspace and actively discouraged the operation — even though they "knew nothing about the details of that operation, nor are they qualified to make that kind of an assumption." Keane's blunt assessment? They "are not willing to sacrifice" (causalities and damage to their oil reserves) "to rid the Middle East region of Iran's aggression. . . . They're willing for us to make that sacrifice for sure. They're willing for Israel to make that sacrifice for sure." This is the thanks America gets for putting the Kingdom under a nuclear and security umbrella since World War II. Keane’s bottom line: “I think it is shameful that they lack the spine to stand up for their people and the region.” Full 3+ minute clip. Must watch.👇

    Pacman Jones says he committed to Georgia Tech, then pulled out after hearing they’d have to go to class every day and do homework “I was committed to Georgia Tech. I had offers from everywhere: Georgia, Notre Dame, NC State, Tennessee, Miami, Florida. I could have went anywhere besides Michigan and Ohio State.” “First I wanted to stay home, then my grandma got sick with cancer and I was like, I got to get away from here… My boy who went to high school with me went to Georgia Tech, and he was like, ‘bro, this school hard as hell, we got to go to class every day.’ I said, y’all doing all the work? That one’s off the list.” “Then I went on the visit to West Virginia, we wasn’t doing no work. Work was football.”

    Open Letter to @wapo, @nytimes, @CNN, @SecretService, @DeptofWar, @PeteHegseth, @realDonaldTrump, @AGToddBlanche. Why did the @wapo and @CNN release highly classified information simultaneously exposing the US and underpinning Iranian propaganda? Why/how did Trump's secret flight from Turkey leak? I’ve personally been a key part of that cog, I know what transpired. And you need to know the significance of this leak. There’s nothing more precious in our nation than the protection of our Republic and our leaders. @DanLamothe to @kaitlancollins: “This came to the Post in part because individuals thought that there was a hole in public understanding here that needed to be clarified.” “A hole in public understanding” is precisely why we have classified programs. That’s WHY we have highly-limited access to programs that protect our Republic. @CNN isn’t breaking some Watergate, “Deep Throat” stuff…they’re shooting for America…they’re targeting Trump…and they’re coming for you…and me. Wake up, America. This isn’t “news.” This is subterfuge and it’s deadly. https://t.co/PuKFHW6Qio

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1.5K interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.102%. Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 73% of 3,739 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 98K times each, and 1.54% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.67% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 42 posts sampled, 52% carry an image or video and 29% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 50K interactions, about 33x its own typical post.

What is Brit Hume's engagement rate on X?
Brit Hume (@brithume) has an engagement rate of 0.102%, based on the median interactions across 42 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,469,587 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.102%, Brit Hume sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 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 @brithume have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 73% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 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 @brithume post?
Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.27 posts per day across the measured window.
