Engagement
A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 901K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 80 original posts, its engagement rate beats 5% of 3,809 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 5.8K times each, and 0.052% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.645% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
Measured over 80 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 28, 2026. Recurring tag: #sponsored.
