A typical post picks up 68 interactions against 19M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 346 original posts, its engagement rate beats 6% of 20,444 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 33K times each, and 0.203% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.181% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 346 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
