Measured over 33 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 29, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 615 interactions against 440K followers, an engagement rate of 0.14%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 3,774 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 42K times each, and 1.47% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.50% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 39% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.5K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Daniel's engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 62% 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.

At 0.14%, Daniel 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%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 04:00 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.

🚨 SHOTS FIRED NEAR JEWISH SUMMER CAMP: Nathan Hewett, 36, fired roughly 20 rounds from a semi-automatic rifle near Camp Modin in Maine, sending 400+ campers and staff into lockdown. Shell casings suggested shots may have been fired toward the camp’s basketball court. Deputies seized 23 firearms from Hewett, who was suspected of antisemitic bias. He was arrested but is shockingly already out on bail.

Reading these numbers

- What is Daniel's engagement rate on X?
- Daniel (@growing_daniel) has an engagement rate of 0.14%, based on the median interactions across 33 original posts from the last 30 days against 439,665 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.14%, Daniel 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 @growing_daniel have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 @growing_daniel post?
- Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.37 posts per day across the measured window.
