I think it's because people who don't have better things to do with their time tend to be up more often at those times. Conversely, people with a professional 9-5 job are less likely to troll and less likely to be up at 2am.
- temp-dude-87844 10y agoAn overnight time corresponds fairly well to when a 9-5 working professional has retreated to bed with their spouse, yet sleep remains elusive. Finding themselves alone with their thoughts and fewer and fewer of their friends being still awake, I can see why some would turn to commenting, venting, or inciting on public forums, for malicious disruption or otherwise. I don't think the hypothesis you appear to draw follows from the facts at all.
