Measured over 30 original posts, its engagement rate beats 86% of 3,739 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 159K times each, and 1.49% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.96% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
