The copy runs 46 words, about the usual length for 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.
