Engagement
A typical post picks up 535 interactions against 1.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.037%. Measured over 64 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,881 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 49K times each, and 1.10% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.39% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 64 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 43K interactions, about 80x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
ian bremmer's engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,881 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 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 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.

i’ve never seen canadians—politically left, right and center—so angry with the united states as right now many americans don’t care or know why it matters. but long term the united states benefits greatly from deep and trusted international relationships. and none have been closer (and closely integrated) than us-canada

us-canada relations and us-europe relations have been permanently damaged. much can still be done to limit the scope of that damage, but it’s impossible to return to the trust and alignment of the previous alliances. china is the principal beneficiary.

hard to imagine anyone doing as much to unite french and english canadians as president trump.

- What is ian bremmer's engagement rate on X?
- ian bremmer (@ianbremmer) has an engagement rate of 0.037%, based on the median interactions across 64 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,435,525 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.037%, ian bremmer sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,459 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 @ianbremmer have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,881 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 @ianbremmer post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.67 posts per day across the measured window.
