A typical post picks up 2.7K interactions against 3.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.076%. Measured over 113 original posts, its engagement rate beats 81% 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 218K times each, and 1.24% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.12% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 113 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
