Is there a specific time when the algorithm is most likely to push your video in the feed?

Yes, there are some moments that are more likely to increase your engagement and I'll explain why below:

The times when people use their cell phones the most are:
Between 8pm and 10pm, when 63% of users are connected

Between 6pm and 8pm, after work, when 55% of users are connected

Between 12pm and 2pm, lunch time, when 53% of users are connected

and there are still many people who stay up early in the morning because they may have insomnia, may not work the next day and spend more time on their cell phones.

I hope I helped!

Yes,
According to most data, the best hour to post on YouTube is generally considered to be the afternoon, between 3pm and 6pm, as this is when most people are likely to be checking their YouTube during breaks or after work.

For short videos, post at the time when user traffic is strongest in your country, usually 6 a.m. - 8 a.m., 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. Long videos are not very affected (because YouTube's distribution speed is quite slow for this type), you can post them at any time of the day.

I’d suggest experimenting with different times and analyzing what works best for your specific videos and audience.

This works better than just looking at general stats and it can also be fun to see what the options are!

The answer is no. Algorithm will push your video as soon as you publish, under certain filters.

Some videos are able to rank even 2-3 weeks after being posted.

Depends of what you post, and YES, SEO plays a role too.

A stupid video that barely describes your niche can pop up on rankings, and die soon if no good view retention.


As per when is the best time to post? You can post anytime, world never sleeps.

Post at all hours and track changes. You also need to make sure many other things are equal so you can receive the realistic outcome.

Honestly, I don't think it will have an impact in the long term. It can definitely help to receive more immediate views right after publishing it, but whenever you publish it, if we are talking about a high quality content, it will eventually get traction and receive more attention after a while

Depends on the country, but generally around 2pm to 6 pm is the best time to post since most people will have a break from the work or will have finished working and will be online on YouTube.

I think after dinner is the best time to post because this is when people are most likely home from work, just finished dinner, and they're using their phone on the couch or something

The algorithm is most likely to push your video when it receives early engagement (likes, comments, shares), aligns with trends, and is posted during peak times when your audience is active. Consistent posting also helps increase visibility.

depends in your niche and your audience, some how testing or asking asking in your videos what is the best time for you to watch the video nad check the comments, in case you are oding organically or just upload a second video and check which one do better in different times,.
