The first line is “Today we’re launching @indexnetwork_”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 1:22 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 43 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.
