Measured over 66 original posts, its engagement rate beats 16% of 3,774 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 3.2K times each, and 0.47% of those impressions turn into an interaction.
