What this launch shows

From an account with 93K followers, this reached 7.8 times the account's own following. The median for 25K to 100K followers is 20.9 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

It ranks 154 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.1 times the median of 688K views.

Quote posts led, 260 of them at 3.6 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.3.

People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have. Bookmarks: 696. Reposts: 93.

The first line is “introducing cursor profiles”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 10-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.

The copy runs 10 words, shorter than 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.

Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
