Engagement Analysis

Based on 85 videos

This audience approves of content at more than double the median rate, ranking 149 out of 1349 creators. The engagement mix shows high intent to return and archive content. Saves are the most frequent action at 0.704%, followed by shares at 0.293%, comments at 0.081%, and downloads at 0.051%. These figures translate to 132.7K saves, 55.3K shares, 15.3K comments, and 9.6K downloads per video. The audience over-indexes on saves and shares compared to discussion or local storage. Brands should treat this as a high-retention community that treats content as a reference point rather than a conversation starter. Reach is inconsistent for the brand looking for predictable views. Only 16.5% of 85 videos reached the 2x average threshold, while only one video hit the 5x mark. A consistency coefficient of 1.1 indicates erratic reach patterns. This audience is an active one.

Engagement Ratios

Each action as a share of views. Likes-to-views is how often a viewer taps like; saves-to-views is how often they bookmark a video to return to; shares spread it to others. Higher saves and shares signal content people find worth keeping or passing on, not just watching.

The high like rate of 11.68% is much higher than the other engagement actions. This shows that viewers are very likely to like the content but rarely comment, share, or save it.

Viral Hit Rate

How often a video beats this account's own average views. The 2x figure is the share of videos that did at least twice the norm, the 5x figure at least five times. A higher rate means breakout hits happen more often rather than reach depending on rare spikes.

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and average video performance

Sponsorship deals drive the primary revenue for this creator because of their large reach. A follower count of 21.8M suggests a potential sponsorship bracket between $300,000 and $500,000 per campaign. This income dwarfs what they would earn from the Creator Fund alone. While the fund pays pennies per thousand views, sponsorships scale with the total audience size to provide much higher returns. The rank of 134 out of 1349 means this creator sits in a tier that commands a heavy premium. They can decline low offers and demand top market rates because of their high status. A buyer should view the quoted range as a starting point for negotiation rather than a fixed price. The high like rate of 11.68 percent further justifies a premium position at the top of this bracket. A cost per view calculation helps determine if a quote pays for reach or influence. Dividing the $300,000 to $500,000 range by 18.9M average views results in a cost of roughly $0.016 to $0.026 per view. This allows a buyer to see if they are paying for the creator's specific name. These are modelled estimates from public metrics, not disclosed earnings.

Content Strategy Analysis

Based on 85 videos

Most content sits between 15 and 60 seconds to build a consistent rhythm. Longer clips over one minute earn an engagement rate of 11.15% while those over three minutes drop to 8.87%. This gap means that keeping videos under the three-minute mark results in roughly 25% more engagement per view. Target the sub-60 second window as your primary goal for consistent interaction. Original audio appears on nearly 86% of the feed. Choosing unique audio over trending tracks sacrifices easy reach from music trends to build a recognizable brand identity. Captions stay very brief at an average of 28 characters, which ensures the visual action takes center stage. Turning off duet and stitch features keeps the focus entirely on the primary footage without outside interference. The top video lasted only 11 seconds and reached 95.3 million views. This clip achieved a reach over five times the normal average for this account. With 13.7 million likes against just 61.9k comments, the result was a lopsided ratio of 221 likes per comment. The high volume of likes shows the content won on passive watching rather than active debate. Average views reach nearly 19 million per video. This large floor means the account functions as a major established entity rather than a small niche project. Growth strategies should focus on maintaining this high level of engagement across various formats. Every piece of content here reaches millions of people regardless of specific stylistic choices.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

Based on 85 videos

This account follows a sparse high-production cadence because it ranks near the top of the field for followers despite posting well below the median frequency. The creator maintains this deliberate pace with a gap between posts that is much wider than the average. This pattern has remained stable for nearly six years, proving to be a durable habit rather than a recent shift. While the consistency grade is lower due to erratic gaps between uploads, the long duration of this trend suggests a calculated approach to content. New videos land most often on Wednesday and Saturday with a peak activity window at 23:00 UTC. Thursday is the quietest day for new posts. Marketers should expect sporadic drops rather than a steady drumbeat of content. You can time a tie-in around the specific weekend and midweek windows where content most frequently appears.

Key Insights & Takeaways

Audience & Reach

This creator holds a top-of-field rank with a follower count nearly twenty times the median. This high ranking means a single campaign can reach a broadcast-scale audience across the platform. The like response sits more than double the median rate. Such a high engagement ratio indicates that a sponsored message will land with much higher impact per viewer than standard content. The audience is concentrated in the United States, which claims ninety-six percent of the share. While this allows for deep penetration into the American market, brands cannot expect to reach viewers in Italy or Great Britain through this specific profile. A global strategy would require additional creators to capture those regions. The total play count shows a heavy historical footprint across the platform. A brand tag placed alongside content with these cumulative views sits next to high-volume history rather than on a fresh start. The audience fits the gaming and live entertainment category. This alignment stems from the combination of broadcast-scale reach and a highly engaged like response.

Key Takeaways

Reach. Ranking 134 of 1349 with a following 19.8 times the median, this account maintains a large top tier footprint. Engagement. A 11.68% like-rate more than doubles the 4.93% median to indicate high audience interaction. Hit-rate. Only 16.5% of recent videos beat double the average views, showing that most content performs at a consistent baseline rather than spiking frequently.
