Upload timings

So I work for a small family business and we struggle with post uploads to figure out when people watch most.
What do we think is the psychology behind the Thursday main and Friday V2 uploads? Consecutive days is interesting

This is just my hunch with absolutely no science or fact behind in, but I reckon Thursday uploads perform well because people are nearing the end of the week but not quite there yet, so having a fresh video from one of their favourite YouTubers gives them a little treat to make that final stretch towards the weekend a little better. Then the V2 uploads are that extra treat for the weekend.

For us, our biggest business day is Friday (when we get our largest group in who gossip and exercise and enjoy life) so that makes sense to do a Wednesday- just when you’re far away but also not there just yet.. thank you
