        well it’s resulted in three giggles and a dude pinching my ass and telling me that he always rings the notification bell.

        I can see it working on kids. Maybe because I only watch YouTube on browser not logged in, so it’s a default thing to not like and subscribe. I really only tend to login to the app if there’s a smaller creator I’d like to give a boost to.

        When a channel aimed at a grown up audience does it, especially when they do the stupid ringing bell animation, I just find it tacky and it makes me NOT want to subscribe. Smaller channels getting started I can give a pass to, but bigger channels? It’s kinda sad.

        Moriah Elizabeth has 10M subscribers and I don’t remember her ever asking for likes and subscribes (and a lot of her fanbase IS kids).

          Existing channels for adults see an uptick whenever they go from not doing it to doing it, they usually apologize if they are against it like yall but do it anyways because they know they’re better off

          No its proven for adults, nothign to do with kids, adults simply will keep watching channels without liking or subscribing unless reminded.
