Engagement
A typical post picks up 21K interactions against 18M followers, an engagement rate of 0.117%. Measured over 17 original posts, its engagement rate beats 93% of 982 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 908K times each, and 2.32% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.04% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
