Engagement
A typical post picks up 80 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.008%. Measured over 80 original posts, its engagement rate beats 30% 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 22K times each, and 0.365% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.14% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 80 posts sampled, 20% carry an image or video, 8% are part of a thread and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 56K interactions, about 696x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #bluemirage, #coreweave, #moneyshow.

Compared with accounts its own size
Charles V Payne's engagement rate beats 30% 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 24% 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 18:00 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.

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 | 20% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 14% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 20% 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.
- 14% 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 177 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below 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.

🚨🇧🇷 URGENTE: Lo que ACABA de pasar en Brasil es INSANO, primero Lula pide extensión de votaciones por dos horas más, su amigo y abogado (hoy Supremo Tribunal Federal) lo acepta, Bolsonaro estaba ganando cuando estaban en 50% de votos contados, en menos de media hora, Lula superó a Bolsonaro por más de 3 millones y con un conteo de más de 80% de votos, eso es imposible. Lo que acaba de pasar en Brasil es uno de los robos más nauseabundos en una democracia

🇮🇷 A televisão estatal iraniana transmitiu uma reunião do ministro das Relações Exteriores, Abbas Araghchi, com o lider Mojtaba Khamenei, mas o grande escândalo é que a reunião foi com uma foto de Mojtaba em uma caixa de papelão que voou devido ao vento do ventilador. https://t.co/n299v4s8tG

So Jacob Coxon, who dramatically resigned from Anthropic yesterday, worked there for a grand total of six weeks. He started with them in July. All of his socials appeared yest. It has all the signs of a highly coordinated op through doomer mega donors and the corporate media.

United Airline’s CEO took home $32.3 million last year and now wants a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes “close to 100 percent.” Scott, nobody’s stopping you. U.S. Treasury has a webpage for gifts to pay down the debt. Go for it! You don't need the government to force you to do what you can already do.

- What is Charles V Payne's engagement rate on X?
- Charles V Payne (@cvpayne) has an engagement rate of 0.008%, based on the median interactions across 80 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,027,112 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.008%, Charles V Payne sits above the 10th 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 @cvpayne have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 30% 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 @cvpayne post?
- Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 7.9 posts per day across the measured window.
