298,011 viral posts just debunked the "best time to post" myth
An operator analyzed 298,011 trending posts across nine platforms and found no hour owns virality: the top X posts' single "best" hour held barely 8%, with hits launching at 3am included. Video isn't mandatory either; images and plain text took more slots. The real signals: Bluesky has a genuine golden window (15:00-21:00 UTC), Wednesday quietly wins on X, and Douyin's median trending video pulls 1.1M likes.
