Posts are seen about 4.5K times each, and 0.067% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.26% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 986 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 27, 2026.
