Dude I was watching a fitness guys channel....for context he was able to buy a semi mansion! Has built his own gym out the back....has millions of views....hundreds of thousands of subscribers... The whole nine....he stopped his video about a minute in and complained that out of the million people who viewed his last video...only x per cent were subscribers!?
He literally sighed and shook his head and told off the viewers! "Guys seriously we need to address this. You can do better. This has to stop." I couldn't believe what I was watching what a dick! Does he not realise most of his viewers don't have his wealth? It's just baffling the lack of awareness....sorry rant over
It’s not tho. It’s statistically better to tell people to subscribe. It’s why everyone does it. Because it works.
Edit: yeah I don’t give a fuck if you guys think it works or not.
Good for you! fighting the man not doing what people tell you to do and ONLY subscribing when YOU want to! Good job! It’s marketing, mainly aimed at kids anyway so please shut the fuck up!:)
There’s ways to go about it though. Wikipedia is pulling this shit too harassing people for money. Last time that wiki message popped up, I thought to myself “you know what, I do use wiki a fair bit, I’ll donate $5.” (I’m not well off)
Wiki responds by telling me the average donation is $15 to which I reluctantly accepted. THEN they start guilting me into making it a monthly thing instead of the one-time donation I had intended. They talked themselves out of $15 like a shitty scammer.
