Is there a Best Time to Upload?

So, I'm on an uploading schedule, and I've been getting the videos well-before the day that I'm scheduled to actually upload them, and since I can, I'd like to take full-advantage of my uploading time, so that the most amount of subscribers can potentiality see it in their feed. Last time (I upload on Fridays) I uploaded at 2 PM Central Time (3 PM Eastern).

Any ideas?
 
i upload randomly but there is a increase in view if you upload during the day time , eastern, standard USA, during school, strive for after 5 pm, before 8 pm.
 
I'd recommend uploading during the day time at about 6pm after people have been to school. I personally just upload my videos whenever and then actually publish the video at 10pm over here so I can just go to sleep and see how well my video did in the morning.
 
Since my videos are 1080p and between 1gb-2gb in size I upload at night. It is set on private and monetized, and by the time I get up it's ready to but put on public. I am not on a schedule, and I like it that way. I have had scheduled uploads in the past, and at times it felt like a chore to keep up with them.
 
In the pokemon niche, people get on YouTube most between 5 to 8 PM EST. This is the time in which almost everyone is off of school, even those on Pacific time. I have also noticed a weekend spike in views. I usually get between 650 to 800 views on a weekday, and on the weekends I get 800 to 900 views per day. Also, if you plan on uploading on weekends, I'd say the best time would be about 2 PM EST because people will have all day to watch your videos, and they probably will get on earlier than usual.
 
This is something I'd like YouTube to integrate into analytics. A time graph for subscriber views. Knowing when the majority of subscribers are online watching would be of great assistance.
 
That would be really helpful! I've been uploading every Sunday but have recently started to wonder if i'd be better doing it in the evening on a weekday, still undecided at this point though.
 
The only thing I am more or less sure - avoid uploads after midnight - in general they under perform during the first 48 hours. In long term it doesn't really matter so much.
