A typical post picks up 1.6K interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.148%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 79% of 3,829 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 60K times each, and 2.66% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.55% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 81% carry an image or video and 31% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 21K interactions, about 13x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Owen Jones's engagement rate beats 79% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 77% 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 0.148%, Owen Jones sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,214 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.081% to 0.436%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,214 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,785 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

    Israel's cheerleaders are now trying to smear my mum. But what were they thinking here? This screenshot shows that my mum correctly predicted Israel would commit genocide. Israel's statements of genocidal intent made that obvious from the start. So thanks for sharing! https://t.co/ULhlMDdfpW

    Israel murdered Hind Rajab and her family. That was obvious from the start. Israel played its usual game - lie, deny, deflect, distort, gaslight - until attention moves along. A compliant Western media, as ever, played along. https://t.co/Sqx1kkJpCw
