A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 3.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 387 original posts, its engagement rate beats 3% of 21,185 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 7.2K times each, and 0.084% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.233% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 387 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 28, 2026. Recurring tags: #cnetdeals, #unboxing, #allthingsmobile.
