Myth: Jump On Every Trend Fast

Myth: Jump On Every Trend Fast
"Speed wins trends — post before it dies" ignores fit. The correction: a trend only converts to reach when it maps to your format and audience; off-fit trend-chasing trains the algorithm to show you to the wrong pool. Run the trend-fit gate.
□ Can you add a genuinely new angle, not just copy the template?
□ Does the trend's emotion match your account's lane?
□ Is it still rising (not already in the parody phase)?
□ Can you ship your version in under 24 hours without dropping quality?
Fail two boxes — skip it. Speed without fit is just noise with a deadline.
Run it weekly.
