I don’t think I’ve ever subscribed when any YouTuber tells me to subscribe
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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
Skillshare and raid shadow legends. Sponsors segment of one's video is less annoying than standard YT ads
For the kinds of YouTubers I've been mostly watching, it's apparently Nebula, Curiosity Stream, and... Hello Fresh? That one's the odd one out for how often it shows up in sponsorships.
I'm often a little suspicious of companies I see too frequently in ads like that. It gives me the vibe that they are struggling to have any natural word of mouth spread and I wonder why. Nebula and Curiosity Stream I can understand since those are pretty niche products (subscriptions for people who enjoy educational videos). But Hello Fresh I also get offers in the mail every few weeks. They push hard to try them out and it makes me wonder what the catch is.
Because any time I've seen somebody subscribe to Hello Fresh they are at a low point in life and nobody wants to be them or take advice from them. My roommate did it probably 3 years ago and for a year he would just stack up the boxes in the kitchen without even throwing away the ice packs. When he finally did clean it all up the kitchen table was completely warped from all the leaked ice packs. It's literally a subscription for TV dinners so it's marketing to people who are too lazy or depressed to go to the store and buy 10 Lean Cuisines.

The sponsor bits are half the reason I don't subscribe to Youtube Premium. I'm not paying all that money and still watching ads.
Don't pay at all, use sponsorblock and revanced
Perfekt time to share one of my Favoriten mozilla Addons, that automaticly skip the sponsor and subscribe stuff in Youtube Video.

But first, let me talk about Raid: Shadow Legends for 10 minutes.
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.
guys, i think we found him
Me too
And here I am, not even watching 2 YouTube videos per year.
“Don’t forget to hit that Like button and subscribe.”
“Don’t forget to
hitsmash that Like button and subscribe.”Fixed it!
