Questions

Where do these numbers come from?

Real X posts about the niche from the last 30 days. Each post's views are measured against its author's own usual views (their normal), and each hour shows the median of its posts. Every measured post counts, not only the viral ones.

Why against each author's normal, not likes or views?

A big account gets more views at any hour. Measuring each post against its own author's normal shows when posts do better than usual, whoever wrote them.

Is it in my time zone?

Yes. The page reads your device's time zone and moves the hours to it. Without it, the hours are in UTC.

Should I only post at the best hour?

It's a guide, not a promise. Your own followers matter more than any niche's average: once you post through HookPlaybook, it schedules each post at your own best hours.
