A typical post picks up 12 interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 375 original posts, its engagement rate beats 14% of 6,873 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 0.118% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.679% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 375 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 10, 2026.
