A typical post picks up 493 interactions against 877K followers, an engagement rate of 0.056%. Measured over 56 original posts, its engagement rate beats 61% of 21,624 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 23K times each, and 2.17% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.59% 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 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 56 posts sampled, 7% carry an image or video and 98% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 28x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Le Canard enchaîné's engagement rate beats 61% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,624 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 68% 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 0.056%, Le Canard enchaîné sits above the 25th percentile of the 217,973 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.025% to 0.149%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 217,973 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 21,723 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 21:00 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 21:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video7% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link98% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 7% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 98% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 426 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    Bally Bagayoko n’est pas le seul ! La RATP a fait bénéficier à 200 élus d’un emploi à temps plein, mais pas trop prenant, pour les aider à exercer facilement leur mandat en échange de leur soutien. Une information « que tout le monde connaît », admet le député LFI de Paris Rodrigo Arenas. Surtout depuis que « Le Canard » l’a publiée. https://t.co/EvtLeaPS5s

    Depuis les révélations du « Canard » sur l’emploi à plein temps accordé par la RATP à Bally Bagayoko, Jean-Luc Mélenchon et plusieurs cadres LFI s’en prennent au Palmipède en se gardant bien d’évoquer le fond de l’affaire : un échange de bons procédés qui a permis à l’élu de bénéficier d’un boulot pas trop prenant, et à la Régie de disposer d’un relais politique en Seine-Saint-Denis. Pour faire diversion, rien ne vaut le bruit et la fureur ! ➡ https://t.co/q0hMHXzPmm

    La journée du samedi 17 octobre a été un énorme fiasco policier. Mais pas au Touquet et à Amiens où les macarons et les chocolats de la maison Trogneux étaient bien protégés. Une compagnie de CRS avait été spécialement dépêchée pour monter la garde devant les boutiques du frère de Brigitte Macron. Pendant ce temps-là, à Limoges où la mairie a brûlé, il n’y en avait aucune. Pas de chocolat, pas de CRS... https://t.co/V3jiHGnpPn

    🔴 « Le Canard » a mis la palme sur un rapport encore confidentiel d’une mission de l’Education nationale qui devait faire la lumière sur le scandale du périscolaire à Paris.  La mission a découvert que la personne en charge de recruter les animateurs avait demandé aux parents de garder secrète la suspension du responsable éducatif de l’école après une plainte contre X pour agression sexuelle. La maternelle abritait aussi deux autres pédocriminels présumés.  Comment en est-on arrivé là ? https://t.co/b26pUaFbSG

    Mécontents de la publication de certains articles du « Monde » les mettant en cause, les patrons de TotalEnergies et de BNP Paribas ont privé le journal d’une bonne partie de leur budget pub. Bernard Arnault, lui, a carrément fermé le robinet publicitaire de LVMH pour se venger d’une enquête publiée en juillet. C’est à ce genre de mesquineries que l’on mesure l’attachement des grands patrons du CAC 40 pour la liberté de la presse… https://t.co/EYpU3uX0Ii

    Nicolas Sarkozy travaille en coulisse pour persuader des vedettes de droite, comme Bruno Retailleau et Michel Barnier, de s’allier avec le RN après l’arrivée de Marine Le Pen à l’Elysée à laquelle il croit dur comme fer. L'ex-président plaide pour une coalition des droites, et rêve d’une amnistie ou d’une grâce présidentielle si la cour d’appel devait confirmer sa condamnation à la prison ferme dans l’affaire des financements libyens… https://t.co/P5f3ZsQ6Mb

    Depuis les articles du « Canard » sur l’emploi exercé à la RATP par Bally Bagayoko avant son élection à la mairie de Saint-Denis, le Palmipède est attaqué pour des choses qu’il n’a pas écrites.  Reste des questions simples. L’élu Insoumis a-t-il oui ou non bénéficié d’un traitement de faveur pour décrocher son emploi à la RATP ? La Régie l’a-t-elle oui ou non rémunéré en douce durant une partie du temps consacré à l’exercice de ses mandats ? « Le Canard » revient sur le dossier après avoir contacté à nouveau le principal intéressé ⤵ https://t.co/vEN4Rg8dIT

    Parcoursup est un cauchemar pour des centaines de milliers de lycéens, mais une vraie poule aux œufs d’or pour les écoles privées. Ces dernières surfent sur l’anxiété provoquée par la plateforme pour attirer les élèves dans leurs filets, leur promettant une admission facile et rapide... en échange de frais de scolarité exorbitants. Cette pratique n’a pas échappé aux inspecteurs généraux des affaires sociales et de l’éducation. Mais le changement, ce n’est pas pour maintenant... https://t.co/Rls5ueMltE

    La nièce est de retour au RN ! Et ce n’est sûrement pas dû à ses réussites : une veste aux municipales en 2014, une autre aux régionales de 2015, un ralliement raté à Zemmour en 2022, sans parler de son école sans étudiants ou presque et de son think tank qui ne réfléchit pas à grand-chose… Qu’importe, pour Marine Le Pen, ces retrouvailles sont une bonne occasion de rappeler à Jordan Bardella que c’est le clan Le Pen qui fait la loi au RN. https://t.co/1KIcRyIFLJ

    La fraude à l’assurance maladie « provient essentiellement de professionnels de santé ». C’est la conclusion principale d’un rapport de l’Inspection des finances et l’Igas mis en ligne fin juillet.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 493 interactions against 877K followers, an engagement rate of 0.056%. Measured over 56 original posts, its engagement rate beats 61% of 21,624 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 23K times each, and 2.17% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.59% 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 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 56 posts sampled, 7% carry an image or video and 98% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 28x its own typical post.

What is Le Canard enchaîné's engagement rate on X?
Le Canard enchaîné (@canardenchaine) has an engagement rate of 0.056%, based on the median interactions across 56 original posts from the last 30 days against 876,894 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.056%, Le Canard enchaîné sits above the 25th percentile of the 217,973 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 @canardenchaine have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 61% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,624 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 @canardenchaine post?
Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.97 posts per day across the measured window.
