A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 129K followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 57 original posts, its engagement rate beats 8% 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 3.0K times each, and 0.101% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.31% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 57 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 2, 2026. Recurring tags: #hamiltonlive, #hamont.
