A typical post picks up 35 interactions against 1.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 749 original posts, its engagement rate beats 17% 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 5.7K times each, and 0.618% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.344% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 749 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 28, 2026. Recurring tags: #votechori, #india, #delhi.
