Guide: how to use Competitor Upload Pattern Spy
Publishing at the same hour as three larger competitors means your video competes for the same subscribers' attention in the same feed refresh. Competitors have patterns — days, hours, content types, topics they are chasing this month — and those patterns leave gaps. The Competitor Upload Pattern Spy maps them: upload frequency and timing per competitor, content-type mix, the windows when none of them publish, the topics they are targeting, and a schedule to take the gap.
