My brother told me to post my video at 3 PM on a Tuesday for more views
He swore the algorithm favors that time, so I tried it with a short clip about fixing a squeaky door. It got maybe 50 views in six hours, which was worse than my usual posts. I checked the analytics later and saw most of my followers are online after 7 PM. So his general tip was wrong for my specific audience. Has anyone else found their best posting time is totally different from the standard advice?

Lol my own analytics once showed my peak time was 2 AM, guess I'm a niche insomniac whisperer.

Yeah @evan_davis, that 2 AM life is real. My analytics had me peaking at like 4 AM on Saturdays for a while. I figured it was just me and my one friend in another time zone watching my stuff. Turns out there's a whole crowd of people who can't sleep and just want someone talking in the background. It's weirdly specific but you just have to go with what your own numbers tell you.

Forget the general advice, your own analytics are the only thing that matters. I'm shocked he gave you such a specific time without knowing your channel. My best time is late at night when my audience is winding down.

Right? My analytics once said 3 PM on Tuesdays, which felt so random it had to be true.
