A typical post picks up 23 interactions against 10M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 498 original posts, its engagement rate beats 3% of 21,624 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 15K times each, and 0.153% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.144% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 498 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 30, 2026. Recurring tags: #midterms, #primeday.
