What this launch shows

From an account with 43K followers, this reached 35.1 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, 25K to 100K followers, reach a median of 20.9 times their following, so this travelled about 1.7 times further than usual for its size.

It ranks 99 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.2 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 1K people bookmarked it, 9.2 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: 193 replies, 121 quotes, 99 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.6 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The first line is “Everyone is sick of generic AI, including us”. It carries a 2:14 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 47 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
