What's shaping this score?

Strong reach and reaction, sentiment still warming

What's Working

People stop and react when Inkcarceration posts appear, landing above average on both Instagram and TikTok when judged against other accounts on each platform. Most festivals lean hard on one channel and let the other drift; this one performs at a similar level on both, which is rare.

Its posts caught an above-average haul of likes, comments and shares across the event window, putting it ahead of most festivals worldwide in total reaction volume.

Instagram hit the live coverage benchmark during the PAW (peak attention window), posting 33 clips a day across the three-day event and the five days after, meeting the standard for real-time festival coverage on that platform.

The video reaches a middling audience, neither exceptional nor weak, holding its own in a crowded space.
