Display Upload Day-Of-Week
⚬ PROBLEM: YouTube doesn't display the day of week a video was uploaded. While usually irrelevant, there are genuinely cases when it would be useful to know—for example, in order to determine a channel's upload schedule, particularly on older videos where what day a given date was isn't a recent memory.
⚬ SOLUTION:
Wherever YouTube displays a date (usually the upload date—this wouldn't edit comments and descriptions, obviously), ImprovedTube should step in and put the day of the week at the beginning—for example, a video uploaded on April 20, 2019 should become Saturday, April 20, 2019
⚬ ALTERNATIVES: The alternative is to manually put the date into a search engine and type "day of week" every time one wants to know. This is... serviceable, but takes a non-negligible amount of time, and doesn't allow the user to passively notice patterns.
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: This seems like such a normal feature that I'm surprised YouTube hasn't integrated it as standard. I doubt most people would even notice if you had it on by default; they'd just see it display the day of the week and be like "yeah that makes sense"
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS":
This might mess up styling by making the date significantly wider. I can't imagine many people not wanting this unless they have some other extension that gets messed up, but there's always someone.
Time zones might make things a little messy, but they already make things messy with the date, so who cares.
⚬ CONTEXT: According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Sure why not. Good idea. But first they need to fix a number o days that wideo was uploaded. PS. I think day of a week should be display only in video page to read one video at once. But idk.
hi! @omegasome
number o days
both of which is independent of eachother & both doesnt need any API :D (only daytime)
