Why does nobody talk about how posting at 6am on a Tuesday changed my channel

I usually post my videos on Saturday evenings like everyone says to, but last week I accidentally scheduled one for Tuesday at 6am and it got 3x the normal views in the first 12 hours. Has anyone else seen weird results from posting on off days like that?

Is it possible we've all just been trained to think there's a "right" time to post when really the algorithm just likes content that breaks the pattern? I've seen this same thing happen with coffee shops too. The ones that open at 5am on a Monday get a totally different crowd than the ones that open at 9am on Saturday. It's like the early birds and the off-hour people are hungry for something new. Your 6am Tuesday post probably caught everyone who was doomscrolling before work or couldn't sleep. They had no competition from other huge creators dropping at the same time. So maybe the secret isn't posting when everyone else is asleep, but posting when everyone else is too scared to post.

That 6am slot actually makes total sense, I used to think Saturday was king but you're proving me wrong.

@rose_cooper my buddy actually posted at 3am once and got 10k likes from night shift workers.
