|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product release the same kind of announcement | 954 | 692K | 0.8x | 538 |
| over 100K followers accounts of a similar size | 611 | 1.4M | 0.4x | 490 |

What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 4.2M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. The median for over 100K followers is 2.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.
It ranks 490 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1118 of 1981.
Replies led. 397 of them, 7.2 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.3. The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after.
Bookmarks came in at 113, reposts at 323. One bookmark for every 16.3 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The first line is “Where we’re going, we don’t need roads”. It carries a 1:09 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 20 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 Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 618K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read why posts from large accounts under-reach: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model.
