Engagement
A typical post picks up 750 interactions against 743K followers, an engagement rate of 0.101%. Measured over 19 original posts, its engagement rate beats 71% of 3,809 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 50K times each, and 1.51% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.67% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 77% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 19 posts sampled, 47% carry an image or video, 37% are part of a thread and 37% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.7K interactions, about 3.6x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
nic carter's engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 63% 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 15:00 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.

after a century of uninterrupted growth, for 15 years, between 2005 and 2020, America did not grow electrical generation. we completely forgot what it meant to grow industrial capacity. politicians constantly talked about "reindustrializing" and "bringing back high-paying blue collar jobs". then AI actually did it. for the first time in 20 years we started reindustrializing America's heartland. creating a massive boom of skilled, high-paying blue collar labor. an enormous construction boom. a new industry emerged to finance the expansion of our aging grid. a grid that needed to grow anyway, if we were going to become a modern, highly electrified economy. and all of a sudden the tech companies and hyperscalers showed up with wads of cash, completely willing to pay for a massive grid expansion. and all the politicians that talked so tough about "bringing back industry and blue collar jobs" panicked when the rubber hit the road. because the NIMBYists had become used to stagnation and freaked out when it came time to build a couple transmission lines. all that tough talk down the drain, because some boomers have AI anxiety and think a warehouse full of computers is unsightly next to a mattress warehouse and a vape shop. probably the most pathetic political episode I've ever witnessed. the only question that really matters is: is it still possible to build anything at all in this country? or have we completely lost the political will?

It's boom times in Pyongyang. GDP for the DPRK has kicked into a higher gear, and if there's any doubt, you can see that from space that it's getting brighter and brighter at night. https://t.co/wRnCdAveWF https://t.co/QH7zyN1VL3

It’s impossible to please the degrowth left If datacenters draw power from the grid, they’re “driving up prices” for ratepayers If datacenters go off grid / behind the meter, they’re “using scarce turbines that could otherwise be providing power to the grid” You can’t reason with people that are fundamentally opposed to abundance and growth. They will never be convinced Ignore the op. Tune them out.

has anyone done or thought of doing anything like take the very best frontier LLM. put it in a radiation tolerant computer in high earth or lunar orbit powered by solar arrays. give it a simple persistent beacon so it pings earth for the next thousand years. how to rebuild civilization in a box.

Right place, right time: many neoclouds spent years mining crypto, then AI showed up and turned their power rights, data centers, and GPUs into some of the hottest assets in tech. 25 quarters in, CoreWeave is pulling in more quarterly revenue than Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud were at 30.

it's really nice that you can just go online and buy a Tesla in three clicks. instead of negotiating with a frat bro wearing too much cologne using high pressure sales tactics on you for 4 hours

I looked through all the polls and surveys and I found that opposition to data centers is largely divorced from opposition to AI. It's pretty much just opposition to building stuff people think is bad for the environment and cost-of-living. Link: https://t.co/CxvDrwPNgF https://t.co/07ETtL0bcg

- What is nic carter's engagement rate on X?
- nic carter (@nic_carter) has an engagement rate of 0.101%, based on the median interactions across 19 original posts from the last 30 days against 743,161 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.101%, nic carter sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,960 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 @nic_carter have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 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 @nic_carter post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.9 posts per day across the measured window.
