Measured over 456 original posts, its engagement rate beats 24% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size.

Posts are seen about 17K times each, and 0.394% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.504% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
