| Product news the same kind of announcement | 865 | 742K | 3.4x | 180 |

What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 6K followers. It was seen 390.1 times over. For 5K to 25K followers the median reach is 46.1 times the following.
This launch beat that by 8.5 times. It ranks 70 of 579 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 4.2 times the median of 603K views.
Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 230 bookmarks, 50 replies, 14 quotes and 50 reposts against 1K likes.
The post was seen more than it was acted on, which is common for a launch that reaches past the people who care about the category. One bookmark for every 5.4 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
It starts “Announcing @InputSystems”. It carries a 25-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds.
Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 783K views in the directory. The copy runs 18 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 631K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.
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.
