I think it helps a bit more if you already have a readership too.
For example- I published my new story a day before I announced it because I was worried about the cover glitch. I kept quiet and didn’t share that I’d published it. I gained 10 reads in just under 24 hours.
I then announced my new story on IG and gained over 200 reads in the next 24 hours lol. So it definitely made a difference there.
