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

[–] CoderKat@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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.

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

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.
