Engagement
A typical post picks up 54 interactions against 358K followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 19 original posts, its engagement rate beats 24% of 4,143 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 17K times each, and 0.327% 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 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 19 posts sampled, 95% carry an image or video and 21% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 44K interactions, about 817x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #hawaii, #lala, #weather.

Compared with accounts its own size
Mike Bettes's engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,143 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 18% 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.

- What is Mike Bettes's engagement rate on X?
- Mike Bettes (@mikebettes) has an engagement rate of 0.015%, based on the median interactions across 19 original posts from the last 30 days against 357,714 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.015%, Mike Bettes sits above the 25th percentile of the 40,201 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 @mikebettes have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,143 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter 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 @mikebettes post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.57 posts per day across the measured window.
