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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consumer and creative AI launches from accounts over 100K followers | 92 | 1.2M | 0.1x | 80 |
| Product release the same kind of announcement | 1150 | 566K | 0.2x | 821 |
| over 100K followers accounts of a similar size | 678 | 1.2M | 0.1x | 594 |
| Every launch all of them, for scale | 2314 | 603K | 0.2x | 1678 |
What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 212K followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. For over 100K followers the usual multiple is 2.2, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.
It ranks 594 of 678 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 1678 of 2314.
Quote posts led, 98 of them at 7.2 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.4.
People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have. Bookmarks: 399. Reposts: 88.
It starts “Introducing Readwise Books”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 54-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 537K views in the directory.
The copy runs 33 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 Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 622K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.
The waitlist launch guide covers this: the call to action was a queue, and the four days after decide what the queue is worth. For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product.
Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one. Every launch we track in Consumer AI is on that vertical's directory page.
