Yahoo should move the waiver pickup transactions to earlier in the night

At least in my league - the transactions go through 3-4am. I think they should move them to way earlier. Seems it would generate tons more of ad revenue as opposed to the current format.
Any reason why they do this?

Ad revenue? How would it generate ad revenue?

ESPNs is at 4am as well.

People play fantasy football on the west coast.

What is the relation to ad revenue and waiver run time ?

I would think more people would stay up until Midnight to scramble for players that cleared waivers, rather than waking up at 4am (like I do
). All in all, I don't think it makes a differencePosted on 11/28/18 at 11:38 am to YogaPants
I always thought it was just randomized so that people couldn’t “stay up” to wait for them to go through

Don't WW transactions on ESPN go through around 3:30 AM (CT)?

That was kinda my thinking..if it were at a reasonable hour, there would be a rush of users at said hour..

I reckon this is the correct answer

Just about every server/software that requires sync, update, or massive data dump does so overnight because it is least impactful on user/experience and when server isn’t under load of traffic. Anyone who’s been awake through this knows some really fricky stuff happens at night.

Came here to post this.
There are, literally, millions of roster changes made when waivers clear. That's a hell of a strain on the database. Neither ESPN nor Yahoo wants you anywhere near their site when those queries are coming in.

I work in IT and I can't believe I missed this reason. I'm in charge of several of my company's batch data processes, which always run between 3-4am
They are updating millions (who knows how many millions or billions) of records in the database so of course it is done at the least peak time.
Good call Amos
