This launch beat that by 1.9 times. It ranks 45 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 4.9 times the median of 688K views.
The response was thin for the reach: 1K bookmarks, 288 replies, 72 quotes and 227 reposts against 4K likes. Views arrived from people outside the audience the product is for, and they kept scrolling. One bookmark for every 4.1 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
