A semi-transparent overlay behind text creates contrast, making it readable regardless of the background complexity.

Question 11: What is 'audience growth rate' and why is it more informative than raw follower counts?

• It's the same as follower count, just expressed differently
• It tracks unfollows rather than new followers
• It measures the percentage rate at which followers are growing, making it comparable across accounts of different sizes (Correct answer)
• It measures how many followers engage daily

Correct answer: It measures the percentage rate at which followers are growing, making it comparable across accounts of different sizes

Audience growth rate = (new followers ÷ total followers) × 100, and is more useful than raw counts because it normalizes growth relative to account size, enabling fair comparisons.
