Chose scheduling posts manually over using a bot for 3 months

I figured a human touch would beat automation, but I was spending 20 minutes a day timing posts for peak hours. My engagement tanked by half because I kept missing the random 2am viral windows the algorithm loves. Has anyone else seen better results with the lazy auto-post route?

Did you try scheduling during your local lunch rush instead?

Did you seriously just suggest someone adjust their entire business schedule around a fast food lunch rush like it's a viable strategy? That's a wild take, honestly. Lunch rush at most places is like 20 minutes of chaos where you're lucky to get your order right, let alone have a productive meeting. Scheduling anything important around that timeframe feels like asking for trouble.

Rileyp49 is totally right about the chaos, but Iris you seriously nailed it too. I actually tried scheduling a lunch meeting during the local Chick-fil-A rush once and it was a disaster. We sat down with our food and laptops and within five minutes someone's drink got knocked over, then our orders got swapped with the table next to us. The noise was so bad we couldn't hear each other talk and we ended up just eating in silence while people screamed for ranch packets. It was honestly one of the worst meetings I've ever had, and I learned that lunch rush is basically a war zone, not a conference room. So yeah, I'm with you both on this one - that suggestion is asking for trouble every time.
