A typical post picks up 867 interactions against 828K followers, an engagement rate of 0.105%. Measured over 51 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% 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 64K times each, and 1.35% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.78% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 51 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 36K interactions, about 42x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

David Icke's engagement rate beats 74% 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 59% 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 0.105%, David Icke sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.434%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,521 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,166 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 09:00 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.

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: 09:00 UTC.

    BREAKING: Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed until 2029, the end of Trump's term, unless Trump accepts all of Iran's demands, per a senior Iranian source and Majid Shakeri, advisor to Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf. Iran's demands in the US surrender document remain unchanged, $300 billion in compensation, the release of up to $100 billion in frozen assets, lifting all sanctions, US troop withdrawal from the entire region, an end to the naval blockade, and accepting transit fees on every ship.

    China created a system that simulates the earth with billions of AI agents that has real personality, memory, beliefs and human-like desires. it gives them a terrifying ability to predict the future. they published a paper called "Modeling Earth-Scale Human-Like Societies with One Billion Agents." they built "Light Society," a framework that efficiently models human-like societies powered by large language models. traditional agent-based models were always limited by simple, predictable behaviors. but this new earth-scale simulation framework uses a "mixture-of-models" engine to change everything. by combining massive llms with smaller, highly efficient distilled surrogates, the researchers successfully simulated a society of over one billion autonomous agents. they grounded these agents using real-world demographic data from the world values survey. these agents don't just act like generic bots.. they exhibit sophisticated social behaviors that mimic actual, diverse human populations. they ran simulations on trust games and massive opinion diffusion, tracking how information spreads and how society evolves in real-time. the simulation proved to have incredibly high fidelity in modeling diverse social phenomena, giving researchers a practical foundation for hypothesis testing. think about what this means for predicting global elections, market crashes, or how a population will react to a crisis.. you don't need to poll people or guess anymore. you just run the simulation. the infrastructure for agentic simulation is scaling faster than anyone realized. social sciences and predictive modeling will literally never be the same..

    Mark Zuckerberg is laying out a sweeping vision for AI: a personal superintelligence available 24/7 to everyone. Zuckerberg says these AI agents could eventually help people across nearly every part of life, including work, learning, relationships, and mental health, as Meta releases its new open-weight "Muse Glimmer" model and pushes to make advanced AI more widely accessible. At the same time, Meta is investing in the people and communities behind that future, including America’s Workforce Academy and a $1 billion community fund tied to its growing data-center footprint. His message is simple: "The future is for everyone."

    The CIA can remotely take over your car and drive it into a bridge at 140 mph. That’s just one of the revelations from the 2017 Vault 7 leaks, according to former CIA officer John Kiriakou. A disgruntled CIA engineer allegedly dumped thousands of pages of the agency’s most advanced hacking tools to WikiLeaks. The documents showed the CIA had developed ways to: - Hack your car’s computer and seize control - Turn your “off” smart TV into a live microphone - And much more that makes the old MKUltra programs look primitive. Kiriakou says it’s terrifying what the agency is now technologically capable of.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 867 interactions against 828K followers, an engagement rate of 0.105%. Measured over 51 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% 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 64K times each, and 1.35% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.78% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 51 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 36K interactions, about 42x its own typical post.

What is David Icke's engagement rate on X?
David Icke (@davidicke) has an engagement rate of 0.105%, based on the median interactions across 51 original posts from the last 30 days against 828,100 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.105%, David Icke sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,521 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 @davidicke have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 74% 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 @davidicke post?
Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.8 posts per day across the measured window.
