What this launch shows
Shield AI posted this from an account with 20K followers and reached 1.7 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 50.8 times their following.
This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 426 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1775 of 1981.
Reposts led, 36 at 10.6 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.5. A repost is an endorsement without a comment, and a launch with an unusual repost rate was being passed along on purpose.
Bookmarks: 38. Replies: 6. One bookmark for every 8.3 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The post opens with “They build it”. It carries a 2:16 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 22 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
X analytics explained covers this: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Robotics is on that vertical's directory page.
