How it compares

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consumer and creative AI launches from accounts over 100K followers | 92 | 1.2M | 1.1x | 43 |

What this launch shows
From an account with 777K followers, this reached 1.7 times the account's own following. That is close to the median for over 100K followers, which is 2.2 times.
It ranks 331 of 678 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.2 times the median of 603K views.
Replies led. 443 of them, 3.3 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.5. The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after.
Bookmarks came in at 810, reposts at 246. One bookmark for every 4.7 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The first line is “Fresh updates for dots”. It carries a 2:46 video against a directory median of 66 seconds.
Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 590K views in the directory. The copy runs 25 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Friday. Launches posted on a Friday have a median of 647K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.
X analytics explained covers this: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Consumer AI is on that vertical's directory page.
