Yes, scheduled posts sounds nice, however, there may be collisions on posting.articles. Comments are fine but there are some articles many people are interested in posting. For instance, there’s more than one Austrian economist on the board.
There will likely be more duplicates in such case, indeed. Good point. But more often than not, people favor the one that was posted first, so the second one (from the poster who tried to optimize posting time) will disappear into oblivion. That's the risk one takes by not posting immediately.

Perhaps it will depend on which comes to the top of the recently list. I think people go for the top of the recent list and post to the first one they come to. In that case, posting later is to your advantage.

Yep, you've scooped me on a few Mises articles. I always zap people who beat me to posting an article.

So, sometimes posting later is advantageous! It depends on whom is reading what. And as our friend @DarthCoin says, “some things are just garbage”.

Sometimes I do this, when I am bored:
- open SN in the morning, taking a coffee and read all the previous replies. Some of them I will zap. Some don't.
- then I read the latest, from "recent". I zap few sats to those that are interesting and I need to come back reading more and see the comments. Is like my personal mark. later I can zap more if is necessary.
- then if I finish to read all the recent (I have like 50% of territories muted so I do not see those) I go to "random" that will show some old posts too. Some of them that I missed. So I go and zap those if are interesting.

This looks like the pattern newspaper readers use. However, modern newspapers are only good for lining cat’s sleeping cardboard boxes. Just my opinion of MSM and modern newspapers. The local newspaper has earned the sobriquet “The Red Star”.
