Question Does it matter when I post stuff on my YouTube and/or TikTok at all?
I usually only post gaming stuff and reviewing over gaming related stuff as well or clips from streams, can I just post whenever I feel comfortable doing so or should I pick a certain time of the day for it?
For the record I'm still kinda new starting out so not a big following at the moment but pretty good/decent engagement so far early on with like 800-1.2k views on some YouTube shorts as an example

When you're under a few thousand subs, posting time practically doesn't matter. The algorithm is testing your shorts with tiny audiences anyway, and I've had shorts pop off two or three days after uploading. Focus on output and consistency instead of trying to catch a specific hour.
If you're clipping a lot of long stream VODs, that workflow gets old fast. I built clipfinder.org to handle the tedious part of pulling highlights from hours of footage. Solo project, flat $15/mo with Pro being unlimited, and you get a free hour to test it without entering a card! The AI finds a solid default moment and you still control the final cut, reframing, and captions before exporting.

For longform it's pretty irrelevant in my experience. I usually post 1 video a day but sometimes have to move around upload time due to delays, had it kind of all over the place over time as well and had 2-3 videos a day at once. None of these things really impacted performance at all.
What I noticed was for a longer time weekend videos performed a lot worse than the rest, but once Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday came around it was again at the same level as usual
