The response was thin for the reach: 90 bookmarks, 71 replies, 25 quotes and 38 reposts against 455 likes. Views arrived from people outside the audience the product is for, and they kept scrolling. One bookmark for every 5.1 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
