If we think that "great authors" post at the same time then, even if we cater for numbers of users, we're basically assigning qualities to longitudes. One uncausal correlation from that would tell us we'd get more likes if we moved to a different country.

I think this is a whole lot like the rocket equation. The more people try to target "best times", the more they'll skew the data away from themselves.
