I'm a dude with a face and I know how to use it.
It honestly depends on the type of content. If you appeal to businessy type people's then it's gonna be mornings when they're having their coffee at work. Appeal to highschoolers and it's early afternoon right when they get out of school, so there's no one fits all answer, but statistically speaking the general consensus is that youtube is watched the most around 5 pm pacific time.

I find that videos released around 12am GMT do better for me, most of our views come overnight when I am asleep when USA people are online and using YouTube, for many people in the UK their channels are far more dead during the day. I also have a preference for Thursdays and Fridays.

Yeah, just to build on what the two people above said, I find the best time to upload is 6pm (But for the timezone where most of your views come from). Obviously you can schedule your videos to upload at a certain time if say your audience is the other side of the world so you won't be physically awake.
And in terms of day of the week, I think weekends are better purely because more people go on their social media at some point over the weekend. This is what works best for me anyway

I generally upload late afternoon evening. Anywhere from 4-7pmEST. Thats when everyone is coming home from practice or school, or relaxing.
