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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product news the same kind of announcement | 769 | 805K | 6.8x | 79 |
| over 100K followers accounts of a similar size | 611 | 1.4M | 3.9x | 128 |
| Every launch all of them, for scale | 1981 | 688K | 7.9x | 179 |
What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 60.7M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. For over 100K followers the usual multiple is 2.4, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.
It ranks 128 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 7.9 times the median of 688K views.
Quote posts led, 2K of them at 3 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.3. People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have.
Bookmarks: 2K. Reposts: 2K. One bookmark for every 7.4 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
It starts “timeline”. It carries a 40-second 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 4 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.
