What Peak Hours Mean for Performers
Broadcasting during peak hours (20:00-02:00 UTC) puts a performer in front of 4-8x more viewers than off-peak hours. The trade-off is competition: more performers also broadcast during peak, so visibility in the directory matters more.
Off-peak broadcasts (08:00-14:00 UTC) face less competition. A specific viewer audience exists in those windows, particularly Asian and European morning users.

What Peak Hours Mean for Viewers
Peak hours offer the maximum selection of live performers, especially in popular categories. Off-peak hours offer better viewer-to-room ratios, which means higher chances of one-on-one attention from performers in public chat.
Methodology
Hourly averages are computed from all snapshots within the 7-day rolling window. Each hour bucket contains roughly 42 snapshot points (6 per hour x 7 days). Hours with insufficient data return zero. The peak detection ignores zero-data hours to avoid skewing toward low-activity windows during data outages.
