The post opens with “Agents f*ck up”. It carries a 2:35 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 16 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 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
How to announce a funding round covers this: the round is the news and the post has to turn it into customers and hires.
For the next one, read launching a product on X from a small account: an account with 3K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. Attributing signups to a launch is the guide for it: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product.
