Where They Work

The employers that do show up

Only 22% of Richard’s engagers carry an employer in their headline — this is a practitioner economy, not a corporate roster. When an employer does appear, it’s usually the engager’s own consultancy, a training firm, or a known brand employing one of the people studying his algorithm data.

The absence of employer clusters IS the insight: Richard’s audience is individual operators building their own brands — the exact market for LinkedIn tooling, training, and ghostwriting.
Senior Signals

The named employers with senior voices

When a VP or founder from a named company engages Richard’s feed, that’s an account-level signal worth knowing — even when it’s one person. Ranked by seniority, repeat engagement, and engager count.

Content Appetite

Algorithm analysis vs. personal story

Do people engage with Richard’s data teardowns, or with his human moments? The two pull different crowds — here’s who shows up for each.

🔗
Who engages with what
971
Analysis / playbooks only — 725 (75%)
Personal / story only — 188 (19%)
Both — 58 (6%)

25 of 30 posts are algorithm analysis, how-tos, or social-selling playbooks — the content that makes people follow and stay. The personal posts are fewer but spike: “Sad day for LinkedIn humanity. This is what my first 10 posts looked l…” (1748 likes) and the grief post (826 likes) pulled the two biggest single-post numbers of the window.

Engagement Depth

How the network engages

Reaction mix tells you the *type* of attention Richard’s content gets. The repeat rate tells you who’s actually paying attention vs. passively scrolling. Algorithm-analysis feeds get scrolled; Richard’s gets studied — the comment counts on his posts are multiples of the norm for his follower tier.

What Drew Them In

The content that built this network

30 posts on Richard van der Blom’s feed analyzed (Aug 3 – Sep 2, 2026). Algorithm teardowns and data drops are the relationship play that keeps the practitioner core returning; his personal posts — the AI-slop satire and the one-year anniversary of his mother’s death — are the reach spikes of the window.

What This Data Tells You

Four angles worth acting on

This isn’t a list of likes. It’s a map of the LinkedIn practitioner economy forming in public around one of its most trusted analysts — and most of it isn’t being worked.

📊
A creator’s feed is a live ICP roster
971 verified engagers · 1500 reactions captured · 30 posts in 30 days — and 8,240 likes, 3,208 comments, 107 shares across the feed. The comment counts alone (avg 107 per post) show an audience that reads deeply, not just scrolls.
🎯
87% of engagers match a LinkedIn-economy profile
844 of 971 people are GTM/sales operators, founders, marketers, or AI builders — the exact buyers of LinkedIn tooling, training, ghostwriting, and social-selling services. For anyone selling into that market — or partnering with Richard — this feed is a weekly meeting with the ICP.
🎖
Founders and decision-makers are in the room
240 senior engagers — 151 founders/CEOs, 37 C-suite/GPs, 52 VPs/Directors. The most consistent include Soraya Zidane (13 posts), Jamal Ahmed (13 posts) — repeat engagers across 30 posts of dense analysis.
🔁
210 people never miss a post
210 people engage 2+ times and 109 engage 3+ times in 30 days. On a daily-posting analyst’s feed, that repeat rate is relationship formation, not traffic — these are the people who read every algorithm update.

The question isn’t whether people engage with Richard’s content. It’s who’s engaging that nobody’s working.

So What

What you’d actually do with this

Data is only as good as the decision it changes. Here’s the same analysis, read two ways.

🧭
If you sell to the LinkedIn economy

This is a live map of buyers for LinkedIn tooling, ghostwriting, coaching, and social-selling services: 971 named people, including 151 founders/CEOs and 390 GTM/sales operators — the independent practitioners building their own brands who buy exactly what this market sells. Every one of them is a warm signal — and most aren’t in any CRM.

Northrop Management leads the senior-signal ranking — 2 engagers, 2 senior. When a firm’s people track an analyst this consistently, that’s an account with a paper trail.

👥
If you’re partnering with — or studying — Richard

His feed is a public roster of the LinkedIn authority economy: 390 GTM/sales operators, 151 founders, and a long tail of coaches, ghostwriters, and consultants who treat his algorithm analysis as required reading.

210 people engage with 2+ posts in 30 days — a deeply loyal core that no algorithm change can take away. The relationship layer already exists; the missing piece is a system that turns public engagement into routed pipeline.

Who’s engaging with your posts that you’re missing opportunities with?

SignalScout turns any LinkedIn profile’s engagement into a ranked, filterable map of the people who actually show up — with names, titles, companies, seniority, and one-click LinkedIn links. The data is already in your feed. This is what it looks like analyzed.
