Myth: scheduled posts get throttled, so post manually

Myth: scheduled posts get throttled, so post manually

A stubborn piece of advice: Threads suppresses anything sent through a scheduler, so you must hit publish by hand. There's no evidence of a 'scheduled = penalized' flag, and the official API publishes the same way regardless of timing.

Tested by alternating manual and Buffer-scheduled posts on one account for 10 days, matched for topic and length.
— Reach variance fell within normal day-to-day noise
— No pattern of scheduled posts underperforming

The real culprit people see: tools that auto-append a 'via' tag or stuff a bare link, which Threads does demote. That's the tool's behavior, not the scheduling.

Annoying limitation: a few free tools still sneak in attribution text you can't disable.

Verdict: native-API schedulers are Worth it; attribution-tagging tools are Skip.
