A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 423K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 150 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 19,675 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.9K times each, and 0.154% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.46% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 150 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 25, 2026. Recurring tag: #yellochair.
