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
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
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 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.

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.
