Shoutout to the redditor who told me to ignore the algorithm and just post when I feel like it

Someone in this community said last month that stressing about posting times was a trap... and they were totally right. I used to schedule everything for 6pm on weekdays based on some blog post I read. Then I just started posting random sketches at 2am on a Tuesday after I couldn't sleep. That one got more engagement than anything I'd posted in three months. Has anyone else had their best results come from totally random timing?

Peaked at 3am after a panic-typed rant about my printer dying and it somehow got 2k upvotes. Honestly the algorithm just feeds on chaos.

Ngl you gotta time your chaos right. 3am rants hit different because everyone else is doomscrolling in their own meltdown. Just lean into it next time, printers make people angry in a universal way.

Huh, that's actually a solid strategy. Timing hits different when nobody's awake to argue with you yet. Wonder if the algorithm just loves any content that makes other people lowkey rage too.
