How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |

| 5K to 25K followers accounts of a similar size | 479 | 582K | 1.1x | 233 |

What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 16K followers. It was seen 38.9 times over. The median for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8 times, and this sits near it.
It ranks 233 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1054 of 1981.
Likes led, 12K at 196.4 per 10,000 views against a median of 26.8, with the heavier signals closer to usual: 2K bookmarks, 193 replies, 69 quotes. A like is a reaction.
The post was enjoyed more than it was kept. One bookmark for every 7.3 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
It starts “November 15th, 2001”. It carries a 1:30 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 16 words, shorter than 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
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.
