A typical post picks up 16 interactions against 580K followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 20% of 19,932 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 10K times each, and 0.153% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.80% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 8 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 10, 2026.
