Gavin McInnes engagement report
@Gavin_McInnes - 280K followers on X
Measured over 16 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.2K interactions against 280K followers, an engagement rate of 0.446%. Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 84% of 21,185 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 59K times each, and 2.11% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 21.1% 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 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 16 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video and 31% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29K interactions, about 23x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #compoundcensored, #daddyissues, #piersmorganuncensored.

Compared with accounts its own size
Gavin McInnes's engagement rate beats 84% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 64% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 22:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 75% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 31% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 75% 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.
- 31% 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 223 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.

🇬🇧 Hoy en En Reino Unido, un enajenado y violento africano asaltó un bus público, agredió fuertemente contra el conductor inmigrante sij, y se llevó el bus que condujo en vía contraria para finalmente estrellarlo contra varios autos. Que hermosa es la diversidad cultural, ¿verdad?

EXCLUSIVE The drunk driver who crashed her car in NYC kiIIing her best friend, is a JAMAICAN NATIONAL, DHS confirmed to me. Alejandra Paharsingh IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN. She has been a green card holder since 2000. She’s charged with vehicular manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, and driving while ability impaired. If convicted, her green card will be eligible for revocation. The media tried to use this story to attack @elonmusk because she was driving a Tesla. But turns out she was driving it manually and was drunk. Police say she had nearly THREE TIMES the blood alcohol limit. Every. Single. Time.
