A typical post picks up 713 interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.049%. Measured over 99 original posts, its engagement rate beats 58% 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 24K times each, and 2.93% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.66% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 99 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video and 28% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 33K interactions, about 46x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Robert Reich's engagement rate beats 58% 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 77% 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 0.049%, Robert Reich sits above the 25th percentile of the 212,146 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.025% to 0.146%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 212,146 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,455 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 16:00 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.

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: 16:00 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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects

  • 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.
  • 28% 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 224 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.

    DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people. https://t.co/hed5bdvdp4

    1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave at least 23 times. https://t.co/t3wX09DTCN

    Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

    Good news. E. Jean Carroll spent a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world. She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won. She is one of my personal heroes. We owe her a debt of gratitude. https://t.co/Z3BMwoZtUk

    John Roberts and the SCOTUS Republicans have allowed Trump to proceed with his egregious mail-in voting restrictions. 21 years ago, I warned at Roberts' confirmation hearing he would be a dangerously right-wing Chief Justice. I have sadly been proven right, over and over. https://t.co/24aqi1Sm9g

    If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 713 interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.049%. Measured over 99 original posts, its engagement rate beats 58% 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 24K times each, and 2.93% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.66% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 99 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video and 28% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 33K interactions, about 46x its own typical post.

What is Robert Reich's engagement rate on X?
Robert Reich (@RBReich) has an engagement rate of 0.049%, based on the median interactions across 99 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,466,918 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.049%, Robert Reich sits above the 25th percentile of the 212,146 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 @RBReich have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 58% 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 @RBReich post?
Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.9 posts per day across the measured window.
