I don’t think I’ve ever subscribed when any YouTuber tells me to subscribe

same for me when it comes to “like the video”, it’s not that I’m like “well now I wont do it”, I just don’t associate the “please like the video”, with an action that I could do on my device. It"'s just something that’s said at the end of the video and lets me know it’s over… to the point where when I watch a stream or reaction video of a content creator reacting to a video, and they scroll down to like when told to, it catches me off guard

I admittedly have, but I’m pretty forgetful and I do like Mr. Mobile’s videos so it felt like a helpful reminder in the moment. I think it comes down to whether I would have subscribed anyway vs feeling like they’re begging for charity.

This has strong ‘ads don’t work on me’ vibes. That doesn’t mean I don’t believe you. I do.

But statistically it works on enough people to be worth doing.

Everybody says that, but no-one ever does a controlled study.

My guess is that people sign up because they like the content whether reminded or not.

I’m sure YouTube/Google has stats on that.

I’ve worked in social media marketing for a while. The moment we started mentioning it on the channel the subscriber bump Was very noticeable. That’s not a study of course.

With the power of shit post I have like 70 subs over the last year with a few videos. I never ask for subs.

They sometimes get me when they mention that 50% of viewers aren’t subscribed… Kinda guilts me in if I’ve watched a few of their videos already.

Absolutely. I don’t mind it and don’t not subscribe out of spite. Just my timing for deciding when to subscribe is dependant on the content. Sometimes I sub half way through. Or sometimes the same creator gets targeted to me and sub before watching

This is my rule if they push to subscribe before the video or content I want to see even starts…. If they say something afterwards and I liked what they provided, I usually subscribe

Lol, same. I think I’ve always made the decision to like and/or subscribe in the middle of videos, usually when I’ve seen enough to conclude I want to see more.

I wonder, does YouTube have any stats they expose for what timestamp people like at? I’d actually be really curious to see a graph of that for some videos. It’d obviously be biased towards earliest good points, but it’d probably identify the best sections.

It definitely works on me. I forget to subscribe all the time to people that I’ve watched a bunch of videos of. And I really don’t mind the little reminder.
