Realized last night why my tweets kept getting buried in the feed

I noticed my engagement was trash for months until I saw a friend's post go viral just by adding a simple poll at the end, then I checked my analytics and found out I was posting at 2 AM when everyone's asleep.

So you checked analytics but ignored posting when people are actually awake?

Algorithm just loves messing with us for posting at the same time every day. You gotta keep them guessing.

Wait what about the algorithm punishing posting at the same time every day? @matthew371 I didn't ignore waking hours, I just thought consistency mattered more. But then I noticed my posts that went up at 3 different times within a week each got different reach. My Monday 7pm post flopped hard but my Thursday 11am post blew up. The analytics showed my usual 2am slot had zero active followers but even when I switched to 9pm the algorithm seemed to bury it because I wasn't trying random windows. It's like the platform rewards chaos over routine for small accounts.
