The post was enjoyed more than it was kept. One bookmark for every 5.6 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.

Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory. The copy runs 26 words, about the usual length for 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.
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.
