Patrick Byrne engagement report
@PatrickByrne - 447K followers on X
Measured over 30 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 23, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.2K interactions against 447K followers, an engagement rate of 0.261%. Measured over 30 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 38K times each, and 3.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.49% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 30 posts sampled, 73% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 99K interactions, about 85x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #gatewaypundit, #lawsuit, #sutherland.

Compared with accounts its own size
Patrick Byrne's engagement rate beats 84% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 78% 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 15:00 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 | 73% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 33% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 73% 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.
- 33% 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 636 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
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.

TERRIFYING: During a TikTok live battle, an Algerian Muslim influencer asks a girl why she’s wearing a cross. She says she’s a Lebanese Christian. He then becomes enraged and says he’d spit on her, and threatens to rape her and kill her, declaring that Christians deserve nothing but to be tortured in this world and the afterlife. He has half a million followers and has illegally arrived in France via Spain just a few days ago. This is Islam. And this is how much they hate Christians. Imagine when they become the majority. https://t.co/kiX0NKSM1i

We are approaching the fifth and last biennial election in the Trump era, and the president has asked voters to make it a referendum on him. Let's take a look at his record. The tiresome and predictable criticism of a pro-Trump bias will come, as it always does when anyone tries to say anything positive about the president, but let me respond with two points. Firstly, one can dislike Trump and still recognize the accomplishments are real and laudable. If personal dislike for the president prevents someone from seeing that, the real bias problem is with them. Secondly, when 92 percent of media coverage on the president is anti-Trump, balance does not come from repeating what is already deafeningly amplified. It comes from stating the parts that are generally ignored. The successes are significant and seldom discussed; let's look at the record that most of the press won't print: • The illegal immigration crisis at the border has been ended • With it, there has been a dramatic reduction in the horrors of human trafficking, the inflow of lethal narcotics, and cash flowing into the pockets of violent drug cartels. • Inflation has been cut sharply from Biden levels. • Crime rates across the country are much lower, with murder rates at a 70-year low. • Capital has poured into the US in job-creating investment, and no advanced country has generated greater economic growth. • The country has been liberated from climate theater without abandoning environmental protection. • Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran have all been stripped of their usefulness as Russo-Chinese allies. • The Iranian regime is being strangled (and its terrorist proxies with it) at almost no cost in American lives and only slight use of American ordnance. Despite the shrill mantra of the more radical isolationists, Trump kept his word: no forever war, no Iraq 2.0. • Along with the Abrahamic Accords, Board of Peace and other diplomatic initiatives, despite current tensions, the scaffolding for future peace in the Middle East is the strongest it has been in decades. • NATO has been reformed from a ragtag of slackers into a self-financing alliance. • Ukraine has been armed to the point that Russia is fighting a war it looks increasingly unable to win, and the Russians have been forced to import gasoline and diesel for the first time in a generation because of its hobbled oil refining capacity. This is one of the most persuasive lists of accomplishments of any two-term president since Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. That a president with this strong a record can still have such a low approval rating is unprecedented and owes to one of his greatest short-comings – the messaging problem. President Trump can draw a crowd and dazzle his supporters like no president since FDR. What he has not yet been able to manage effectively, is use a direct Oval Office address, with a nonpartisan tone, to outline the national interest and ask for the support of the American people for his worthy objectives. Perhaps he is keeping his powder dry. If so, this is the month to use it.

White liberals say they treat everyone the same, but the Yale–Princeton study tested the words they actually choose. When they thought the other person was Black, they downshifted into simpler language, fewer competence words, and a warmer, less serious tone. Conservatives in the same experiments did not make that change. If the only way you can be decent to a Black person is to sound less sharp, you are not fighting a stereotype. You are acting it out and calling it compassion.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 1.2K interactions against 447K followers, an engagement rate of 0.261%. Measured over 30 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 38K times each, and 3.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.49% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 30 posts sampled, 73% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 99K interactions, about 85x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #gatewaypundit, #lawsuit, #sutherland.

- Patrick Byrne (@PatrickByrne) has an engagement rate of 0.261%, based on the median interactions across 30 original posts from the last 30 days against 447,431 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.261%, Patrick Byrne sits above the 50th percentile of the 212,656 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 @PatrickByrne have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 84% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 @PatrickByrne post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.97 posts per day across the measured window.
