No peer comparison for this video

A multiplier needs two things: a trustworthy publish date and a duration. At least one is missing on this record (on Instagram the publish date is often just the collection time) — so we are not making a multiplier up.

Why this video worked

Every line below is computed from this video’s own numbers. No guesses, no filler.

No standout signal could be computed for this one. The raw numbers are below — those are always real.

The numbers

All of it comes from the API. If a value is missing you see a dash — nothing is estimated in its place.
