The Express Tribune engagement report
@etribune - 1.0M followers on X
Measured over 128 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 128 original posts, its engagement rate beats 8% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.1K times each, and 0.547% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.109% 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, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 128 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 66% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 1695x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #etribune, #latest, #news.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Express Tribune's engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 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.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.001%, The Express Tribune sits below the 10th percentile of the 37,350 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab on Saturday rejected reports about Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s engagement or wedding, calling them “incorrect and unfounded”. In a post on X, Wahab said, “The news story regarding Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s engagement or wedding is incorrect and unfounded.” Earlier, social media reports had claimed that Bilawal was set to marry into a prominent Austrian royal family in Vienna. Rumours circulating on social media claimed that President Asif Ali Zardari had travelled to the country with other family members to discuss and set a date for his son’s wedding. The rumours further claimed that Bilawal’s wedding could take place towards the end of this year, while his purported fiancée was said to be from Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein.

- What is The Express Tribune's engagement rate on X?
- The Express Tribune (@etribune) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 128 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,010,598 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, The Express Tribune sits below the 10th percentile of the 37,350 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 @etribune have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size 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 @etribune post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.27 posts per day across the measured window.
