Vindicated reaction to industry news from @shannonmckinstrie

The creator reacts with exaggerated joy and vindication to a video of Instagram's head, Adam Mosseri, who debunks the myth of a universal 'best time to post.' She uses text overlays to add her own commentary, sharing her own analytics but ultimately reinforcing Mosseri's point that timing is not the most critical factor for success, and that good content performs regardless of when it's posted.

Transcript excerpt

There's a rumor that there is a best time to post to get the most reach on Instagram, and that is just not the case. Everybody has their own set of followers, and they might be in different countries, in different time zones, and so when the best time is for you to post really depends on who follows you. And if you go to your insights, you can actually see for each day of the week what time most of your followers, or you have the most followers who are using Instagram. So if you really wanna try and time it perfectly, then I would go check that out and try and post just an hour or so before that sort of wave or peak comes. But honestly, it is not at all the most important thing to maximize your reach, but if you really, really wanna try and optimize, check that tip out. Hopefully, it'll help a bit on tier margins. Thank you, Adam.
