Ask Is it true that posting at the wrong time can ruin a piece of content that was actually good?

Timing plays a bigger role in content performance than most people give it credit for. Good content posted when most of your audience is offline or too busy to scroll will collect almost no initial engagement. Platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn use early engagement to decide how many more people to show the content to, so a slow start can hold a post back permanently. The content does not get a second chance to make that first impression on the algorithm. Do you think platforms should give older posts another chance to reach people rather than deciding based only on the first few hours?
