Riding an audio early vs at peak — the timing trade

Riding an audio early vs at peak — the timing trade
Tested both this week. Hopped one sound at ~8k uses → it blew, rode it to 90k views as it climbed. Hopped another at 400k uses → buried, it was already saturated.
— Early = more upside, more risk it dies.
— Peak = safe-ish reach but you're #50,000 in line.
My rule now: under 20k uses AND climbing = jump. Over 150k = skip unless it fits perfectly.
Check your saved-audio list right now. Anything under 20k climbing? Film it today.
