A typical post picks up 88 interactions against 714K followers, an engagement rate of 0.012%. Measured over 28 original posts, its engagement rate beats 36% of 3,848 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 27K times each, and 0.326% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.76% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.97 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 28 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.4K interactions, about 61x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #sternshow, #howard100, #spiderman.

Compared with accounts its own size

Stern Show's engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,848 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 25% 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 0.012%, Stern Show sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,214 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.081%.

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 17:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

What is Stern Show's engagement rate on X?
Stern Show (@sternshow) has an engagement rate of 0.012%, based on the median interactions across 28 original posts from the last 30 days against 714,401 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.012%, Stern Show sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,214 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 @sternshow have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,848 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 @sternshow post?
Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.97 posts per day across the measured window.
