Measured over 9 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 27, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 186 interactions against 272K followers, an engagement rate of 0.068%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 52% 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 10K times each, and 1.78% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.85% 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 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 33% carry an image or video, 22% are part of a thread and 44% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 20x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Adam Housley's engagement rate beats 52% 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 59% 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 03:00 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.

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 | 33% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 44% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 33% 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.
- 44% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 230 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.

FDNY Firefighter Gary Box, Squad 1. On 9/11 he ran through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel toward the World Trade Center after his truck was stuck in traffic. Last photo of him. Remains never recovered. Family found this picture almost nine years later. A hero. Tell your kids. This why WE WILL NEVER FORGET! 🙏🇺🇸

3,000 people weren’t “lost” or “died”…they were murdered. They were innocent civilians whose lives were stolen by murdering, cowardly, terrorists. Semantics matter. 25 years later don’t let them change the semantics.

Just a reminder…the investigation into Gavin Newsom and his wife began in 2021 during the Biden Admin and continues to expand in multiple directions. Despite his claim this is a political witch hunt. The facts don’t match his clam.

Twelve-year-old Kylie never knew her grandfather, retired FDNY Captain James J. Corrigan. But she grew up knowing his story. On September 11, 2001, Captain Corrigan helped lead 20 children from a nearby day care center to safety before losing his life in the collapse of the South Tower. At last year’s commemoration ceremony, Kylie honored her grandfather by reading his name aloud. “We love you so much, and we miss you so much.” As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the lives of those who served—and the generations who continue to carry their stories forward.

On this date in 2007, Giants slugger Barry Bonds hit career home run No. 756, off Mike Bacsik of the Washington Nationals, to surpass Hank Aaron for the most HR in MLB history. Bonds would go on to finish his career with 762 homers. https://t.co/ZAutVSGkLJ

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 186 interactions against 272K followers, an engagement rate of 0.068%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 52% 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 10K times each, and 1.78% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.85% 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 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is Adam Housley's engagement rate on X?
- Adam Housley (@adamhousley) has an engagement rate of 0.068%, based on the median interactions across 9 original posts from the last 30 days against 272,120 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.068%, Adam Housley sits above the 25th percentile of the 213,098 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 @adamhousley have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 52% 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 @adamhousley post?
- Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.97 posts per day across the measured window.
