Does scheduling a post on tiktok hurt views?

I was reading on a forum last night that sceduling a tiktok post will make the video less viral and the tiktok algorithm will show it way less than a live or freshly recorded video.

Then I started googling that subject and found a ton more posts on places like reddit and other websites saying the same thing.

Any thoughts on this? The rationale I was reading did kind of make a lot of sense. But it’s all just guesses, nobody really knows. Def got me thinking though.

Check these threads and posts out:

But on the flip side of the coin, look at this post. And that post, they actually did hard testing and concluded that not only does it not hurt, the scheduled posts did better.

And another post.

But here’s the thing, all the info saying it’s BS only comes from companies who are in the game of social media management software and SaaS. So their claims will always be a bit tainted and questionable.
