What's shaping this score?
Instagram powerhouse, TikTok still finding its feet

Its Reels pull in views that sit above the worldwide average, giving the festival genuine reach on the platform where it matters most.
People stop and react to Instagram posts at a rate that lands in the top half of all Instagram accounts. Blackweir turns its reach into engagement more effectively than most festivals on that platform.
Instagram is where this festival lands hardest: it turns more of its reach into reactions than in the top half of Instagram accounts.
The comments lean warm. Sentiment sits middling against the worldwide field, but the tone of what people write is positive, which matters more than volume.
