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.

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

Perfekt time to share one of my Favoriten mozilla Addons, that automaticly skip the sponsor and subscribe stuff in Youtube Video.

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.

And here I am, not even watching 2 YouTube videos per year.
