<b>"When exactly should I jump on a rising trend?"</b>

Q: The timing sweet-spot question. Crucial one.

Short answer: when you see it from creators your size but not yet from the mega-accounts.

Longer answer: trends climb through tiers. First, a few mid-creators test it. Then peers in your follower range pick it up — this is your window, because the algorithm is still rewarding the format and the audience isn't sick of it. Once celebrities and brands pile in, it's already cresting and reach-per-post is falling. Verdict: your signal isn't 'I saw it once,' it's 'I'm starting to see it from accounts like mine.' That tier crossing is the green light. When the giants arrive, the easy reach is gone.
