Their reads spread evenly, so a November slot looks like a March one. Our VPN page shows how the VPN reads spread across the year.
What should a tech brand do about timing?
- Ask creators for a slot in the November 17 to 30 weeks early, since 517 sponsored videos went up then in 2025.
- Put a launch that is not a sale in January or February, when fewer sponsor reads compete.
- Check the creator's last 3 Novembers: how many sponsors ran, and whether yours sat beside a rival.
