The "First Hour" Velocity
YouTube’s recommendation system looks at how quickly your subscribers click and watch the moment it goes live. This is called **"View Velocity."**
If you upload when your audience is asleep, your velocity will be low, and the algorithm might assume the video isn't interesting even if it’s actually great.
Scheduling Strategy FAQs
Upload at midnight?
Unless your audience is awake in that time zone, your video sits idle. This leads to a "slow start" that makes future push harder.
Weekends vs Weekdays?
Weekends are massive for entertainment. Weekdays (Tues-Thurs) are better for professional/tech niches during work hours.
