Engagement
A typical post picks up 100 interactions against 959K followers, an engagement rate of 0.01%. Measured over 67 original posts, its engagement rate beats 35% of 3,862 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 9.5K times each, and 1.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.986% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 67 posts sampled, 13% carry an image or video and 91% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 104x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Gateway Pundit's engagement rate beats 35% 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 52% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 100 interactions against 959K followers, an engagement rate of 0.01%. Measured over 67 original posts, its engagement rate beats 35% of 3,862 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 9.5K times each, and 1.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.986% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 67 posts sampled, 13% carry an image or video and 91% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 104x its own typical post.
- What is The Gateway Pundit's engagement rate on X?
- The Gateway Pundit (@gatewaypundit) has an engagement rate of 0.01%, based on the median interactions across 67 original posts from the last 30 days against 958,899 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.01%, The Gateway Pundit sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,701 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 @gatewaypundit have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 35% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 @gatewaypundit post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.8 posts per day across the measured window.
