Yesterday we launched Bouncer to put users in control of their Twitter feed. Today, we open sourced the Chrome extension. We believe software should align with your interests, not the company that built it. We built Bouncer for us, now go make it yours.

What this launch shows
Imbue posted this from an account with 10K followers and reached 525 times that many people. The usual multiple for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8.
This one did 10.3 times that. It ranks 15 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 8 times the median of 688K views.
The response was thin for the reach: 372 bookmarks, 20 replies, 15 quotes and 38 reposts against 496 likes. Views arrived from people outside the audience the product is for, and they kept scrolling.
The post opens with “Yesterday we launched Bouncer to put users in control of their Twitter feed”. It carries a 32-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 45 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 880K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.
Virality without conversion covers this: reach that outruns response is the pattern this guide is about. For the next one, read X analytics explained: 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.
