How can I understand my stats?
Summary
I think it's great that you’re digging into your FYP stats because it shows you care about growing your audience. Looking at the numbers can help you spot patterns that make your content resonate more.
How Do Posting Times Match Viewer Peaks?
I noticed the stats show a time label beneath each of my videos and I’m trying to understand what that time represents. When I was posting at 5 am, 2 pm, and 6 pm the label always read 7 am or 7 pm, but after I changed my schedule to only 5 am and 6 pm the label stayed at 7 am and 7 pm. After I shifted my posting times to 6:45 am and 6:45 pm the label changed accordingly. Does the label reflect the platform’s internal peak hour, or is it just a fixed reference that I should ignore? And is there any benefit to aligning my upload time with the time shown? Some creators say the displayed time can hint at when the algorithm is most active, while others think it’s merely a static stamp that doesn’t change with your schedule. Could checking the label over several days help me decide the best window for posting?

What Do Peak Hours Mean For My Growth?
The platform displays a clock icon with a time next to each piece of content, and many creators mention using that time to plan when to post. I’m curious whether that displayed time corresponds to when my audience is most active, or if it’s simply a default timestamp that doesn’t change with my upload schedule. Should I treat those peak hour indicators as a guide for when to release new material? If I notice the label stays constant even after I change my posting hour, does that mean the algorithm is using a different metric, such as overall site traffic, to decide which videos get highlighted? And does ignoring the label affect my chances of being discovered by new viewers who might be browsing during those suggested peak periods?
