stray thought: does waiting until daylight (in USA hours) actually do anything here, for like, when to boost things? I feel like it does to some extent, but like... it's an old habit, I dunno

mutters something about demographics, metrics, and language barriers
short version is that the people who'd be up and about during those times are going to be, by and large, unable to interact with any particular form of social media for numerous reasons, including being at work, interacting with more personally-relevant topics, or interacting with media in their native language (if even interacting with posts in english)
the internet may be global, but people's sphere of interest and influence is not

I'm sure it's wildly contingent on who follows you, but speaking as someone who (a) is on cohost all hours and (b) has close to zero overlap between chosties and people I know IRL, my experience has been that likes and shares get a lot quieter after midnight (Eastern Time, UTC−05:00) and it stays that way until things start to pick up again about eight hours later.

What this implies in terms of boosting things isn't obvious to me. Depending how many followers one has (and when they're active, and who they're following), boosting during a high traffic time may be the best way to get eyeballs on something, but might also be the time when the post is most likely to get buried.
