Saves led. 5K people bookmarked it, 28.4 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.
The rest: 409 replies, 242 quotes, 261 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.7 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with “OpenClaw is a new viral and scarily effective virtual assistant”. It carries a 56-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory. The copy runs 46 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people. It went out on a Saturday. Launches posted on a Saturday have a median of 524K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
