What this launch shows

The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 40, reposts at 23.

The first line is “Introducing the Yondu Work Force”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 16-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.

The copy runs 43 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.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 665 followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
