What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 741K followers. It was seen 1.6 times over. For over 100K followers the usual multiple is 2.4, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.

It ranks 324 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.8 times the median of 688K views.

Likes led, 7K at 61.1 per 10,000 views against a median of 26.8, with the heavier signals closer to usual: 2K bookmarks, 280 replies, 157 quotes. A like is a reaction. The post was enjoyed more than it was kept.

It starts “Procrastination has met its match”. It carries a 42-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 44 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
