A typical post picks up 1.0K interactions against 3.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Measured over 49 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% 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 162K times each, and 0.621% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.62% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 49 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video and 29% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 85K interactions, about 84x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Matt Gaetz's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 44% 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,350 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,576 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    Oh no, it’s that time of the year when democrat pages start to post my swimsuit photos again and claim that I’m not Hispanic🤣… one day they’ll realize I live in Florida and represent a beach community. Although, I may start to carry a sombrero just to refute the fake hispanic claims.

    I didn't know our objectives in the war against Iran are: 1. cheap oil and, 2. no nukes.  I thought it was: 1. no nukes, 2. no enriched uranium, 3. help is on the way for the Iranian people.  Of course, the Strait of Hormuz must remain international waters and open.  But it was open before the war.  It was never an objective for going to war.  That said, given the Iranian regime's actions re the Strait, we obviously must confront them there and we are.  But even there, we are not declaring that the Iranian regime mustn't control any aspect of the Strait, but that oil must be cheap.  We are ratcheting down our war objectives, at least in the public statements of senior officials.

    As the #1 prospect in WNBA history, I would like to extend an apology to these 2 women. Free speech is a pillar of America and we infringe upon it at our own peril. I’m not so sure why anybody would be so upset anyway… Chromosomes are just a social construct, science is a cis normative patriarchal oppression. We are moving beyond that. Clock it! 🤏🏽👸🏽 Thank you ladies! You’re stunning and brave!

    🚨The WNBA is FACING A MASSIVE BACKLASH for failing to protect women from men in their sports, even being called out by Charles Barkley. "I'm disappointed... If you don't like it, kick rocks... The WNBA is for women only. Period." Let's go, Charles! https://t.co/OlegtYwfOg

What is Matt Gaetz's engagement rate on X?
Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) has an engagement rate of 0.029%, based on the median interactions across 49 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,496,873 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.029%, Matt Gaetz sits above the 25th 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 @mattgaetz have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 64% 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 @mattgaetz post?
Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.87 posts per day across the measured window.
