Warning: Posting at 2 AM killed my engagement for 3 days straight

I posted a video review of a local BBQ spot at 2 AM on a Tuesday and got exactly 12 views, while the same content reposted at 6 PM the next day hit 1,200 in an hour. Anyone else notice their account gets shadowbanned or just ignored when they post outside peak hours?

Wait, only 12 views for a whole 3 days?

Oh man, that's brutal. I mean, I've had posts that flopped before, but 12 views over 3 days is next level dead air (especially if you put any real effort into it). Makes me wonder if the algorithm just straight up ate the post or something.
