A typical post picks up 79 interactions against 367K followers, an engagement rate of 0.021%. Measured over 19 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 4,273 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 4.2K times each, and 1.88% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.15% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 19 posts sampled, 89% carry an image or video, 11% are part of a thread and 21% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.5K interactions, about 19x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #pagad, #drrickturner, #eff.

Compared with accounts its own size

Carl Niehaus's engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 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 61% 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.021%, Carl Niehaus sits above the 25th percentile of the 41,299 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.013% to 0.083%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 41,299 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 90,063 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 06:00 UTC, and Sunday 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.

    No doubt: “I vote: Yes, Ja, Yebo!” Thank you @EFFSouthAfrica and my CIC @Julius_S_Malema for standing up for what is right. @ThokoDidiza failed to protect the integrity and independence of parliament, and thus lost her right to be Speaker. Full stop 🛑 https://t.co/vBw50BIrGd

    I always maintain that the greatest strength of @EFFSouthAfrica lies in its ground forces and Subregional leaders. We are a truly people-centred, grassroots revolutionary movement. Here I am with some of the leaders of Zone/Subregion 3, with whom I work in the Cape Town Metro. The greatest duty of every EFF Commissar and Fighter is to be a ground force. #VivaEFF! ✊🏾 #VivaCICJuliusMalema! ✊🏾 #VoteEFF! A LUTA CONTINUA!

What is Carl Niehaus's engagement rate on X?
Carl Niehaus (@niehaus_carl) has an engagement rate of 0.021%, based on the median interactions across 19 original posts from the last 30 days against 366,752 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.021%, Carl Niehaus sits above the 25th percentile of the 41,299 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 @niehaus_carl have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 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 @niehaus_carl post?
Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
