    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’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.

      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.
