A typical post picks up 1.3K interactions against 558K followers, an engagement rate of 0.236%. Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% 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 32K times each, and 4.14% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.71% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 16 posts sampled, 94% carry an image or video and 69% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 18x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Sage Steele's engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 88% 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 0.236%, Sage Steele sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.435%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,071 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,527 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 19:00 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.

    For two years in a row, high school athlete Lauren Matthew came in 2nd to a male in the WA State GIRLS 400m State Track Championship. Here is the empty 2nd podium spot where she refused to stand the second year, and her holding a sign that says she is the real state champion. You can stop injustices like these by voting YES on I-638 in November. @wasendemocrats @wahousedems @GovBobFerguson @DIAGdemocrats @LGBCourage @letsgowa @KDansky @JenniferSey @KnownHeretic

    💥NEW: Hall of Fame Linebacker Brian Urlacher *LAYS INTO* male athletes who won't say men shouldn't play women's sports💥 "They should just MAN UP and say it! ... especially if you have DAUGHTERS, you have girls who are gonna play sports! It would be really hard for me not to stand up and say what I believe in." These athletes would never let their own daughters compete against males — yet they refuse to say it publicly. Their silence speaks volumes.

    NFL Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher joins me on this episode of The Sage Steele Show for an unfiltered conversation that goes far beyond football. Brian explains why he began speaking out on women’s sports, the treatment of Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark, and the silence of wealthy male athletes. He opens up about being canceled by his own team, losing friends, parenting his son, and staying grounded through NFL fame and money. You won't want to miss this one. @BUrlacher54

What is Sage Steele's engagement rate on X?
Sage Steele (@sagesteele) has an engagement rate of 0.236%, based on the median interactions across 16 original posts from the last 30 days against 558,009 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.236%, Sage Steele sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,071 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 @sagesteele have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts), which puts it in the top 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 @sagesteele post?
Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.1 posts per day across the measured window.
