A typical post picks up 46 interactions against 158K followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Measured over 46 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 21,185 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 4.3K times each, and 1.08% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.73% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 46 posts sampled, 26% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 26K interactions, about 560x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

G. K. Chesterton's engagement rate beats 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 43% 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

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 213,004 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,390 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 02:00 UTC, and Saturday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 02:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

  • 0% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 229 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    We hear much of old people being bigoted in their antiquated ideas. It has always been my experience that the young are much more bigoted in their new ideas.

    The thesis of Mr. Belloc's book "Europe and the Faith" is sufficiently simple; that Catholicism is the soul of Europe, and Europe will become Catholic or die.

    The awful Female Reformers of the United States are women who would turn that civilization into a new sort of matriarchy, so far as one can have a matriarchy without any particular respect either for maternity or matrimony.

    If anybody asked me how I know that England was once a Christian and a Catholic country, I should answer in eight exceedingly simply lines; to my mind very touching and even intense lines. I quote them from memory, and I am not sure about the exact words of the first: The night is very frosty, My shoes are very thin, I’ve got a little pocket To put a penny in; If you haven’t got a penny, A halfpenny will do; If you haven’t got a halfpenny, God bless you.

    Many great men, many men in the grand style, have hated Christianity; as did Gibbon and Nietzsche. Julian hated it as soon as it existed; we may almost say that Lucretius hated it before it existed. For if Virgil was a Christian before Christ, surely Lucretius was an Anti-Christian before anyone had thought of Anti-Christ.

    Nietzsche was a man who tried to be a mood. Every man who tries to be a mood, instead of a mind, is necessarily narrow. That is why most of the modern moralists are notably narrow. Such a man stands for one movement of revolt, or reaction, or refusal, or whatever it may be. But the test of it is that he is always deficient in something else that sane men have, such as laughter, or compassion, or conservative sentiment, or what not.

    The destruction of the convents went along with the decline of the guilds, the rise of the squires, the capitalism that is culminating in the Servile State. And just as the destruction of the cloister was only to the advantage of the aristocrats, so the destruction of the hearth is only to the advantage of the plutocrats.

    I will back poor old Nietzsche, at least, to last a great deal longer than Marx. Nietzsche is at least literature, if he is nothing else; and literature is not altered every six years.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 46 interactions against 158K followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Measured over 46 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 21,185 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 4.3K times each, and 1.08% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.73% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 46 posts sampled, 26% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 26K interactions, about 560x its own typical post.

What is G. K. Chesterton's engagement rate on X?
G. K. Chesterton (@GKCdaily) has an engagement rate of 0.029%, based on the median interactions across 46 original posts from the last 30 days against 157,534 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.029%, G. K. Chesterton sits above the 25th percentile of the 213,004 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 @GKCdaily have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 @GKCdaily post?
Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.7 posts per day across the measured window.
