Serious question, why is everyone still posting at the same time?

I tracked my posts for 3 months and saw my 9 PM stuff got buried... every time. Switched to 11 AM on a Tuesday and my reach jumped by 60% in a week. The 'best time to post' advice from last year is dead now because everyone follows it. Has anyone else tested weird posting hours that actually worked?

My friend tried 3 AM posts, weirdly worked.

Yeah, saw a whole thread about that. People were saying the algorithm is less crowded super late, so your stuff actually gets seen. Makes sense for @angela_grant's friend. Some accounts even schedule all their posts for like 3 AM now.

Always thought posting that late was pointless... but after seeing what @oliviagrant said about less people online, I tried it last week. Got way more comments on a 3 AM photo than I usually do in the afternoon. Kind of wild it actually works like that.
