What this launch shows
Lightreel AI posted this from an account with 9K followers and reached 67.4 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 50.8 times their following, so this is in the normal range.
It ranks 238 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1081 of 1981.
Saves led. 1K people bookmarked it, 24.9 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.
The rest: 37 replies, 21 quotes, 54 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.6 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with “Today we're introducing Cursor for finding influencers”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 21-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.
The copy runs 35 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.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
