A typical post picks up 54 interactions against 20M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 789 original posts, its engagement rate beats 5% of 21,185 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 21K times each, and 0.255% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.104% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
