What worked
- The post frames a simple, timely claim about the global rate hike cycle, which matched a hot topic that week.
- The chart shows global central banks tightening policy rates over time as a line, making a long trend easy to read at a glance.
- The post text gives clear context with 15 of the 33 major central banks, or 45%, and compares that with about 55% in 2018 and 2011 and about 95% in 2022.
What to borrow
We could use the same framing by pairing one timely claim with a simple line chart of our own data and a short historical comparison.
Careful
Do not over-read the low engagement relative to views, the low design polish, or the missing comment and points data as proof of deep audience response.
