Do you also hate when YouTubers ask you to subscribe in the beginning of a video?

I find it annoying tbh because they usually say it in the beginning of their video.

Why not at the end where I've actually watched your video and can determine if I've received enough value/entertainment from it to warrant subscribing.

Just me?

I’m with you on this. Asking for a subscription before I’ve even seen what you have to offer feels premature. If I enjoy the video and find it valuable, I’m much more likely to subscribe when you ask at the end. Let the content sell the subscription first.

Because only few viewers stay until the end of the video
But I'm with you, it's annoying to ask for it at the first minute of video

Maybe the best place is in the middle in a moment that you change of toppic (the problem, YT should use this "pauses" to add an ad break)
 
Most viewers never reach the end of a video, so asking at the end means you only ask the most engaged 10-20% of people. A quick reminder near the beginning catches everyone who is interested but might forget later.
 
I don't think people ever subscribed to channels because the youtubers asked us to subscribe. We have always subscribed to a channel only if they were entertaining or if they held any kinda value in our life. Hence asking us to subscribe, yes its irritating, but the subscription isn't happening according to if they ask or not.

I find that completely normal, as YouTubers who ask viewers to subscribe right at the start of a video are usually already famous; they want the audience to be able to find them directly without having to watch the entire video, since by the end, viewers might no longer be interested in subscribing.

Unfortunately, many of them are not famous, but they still do it. They do it because of viewers retention.
 
Yeah asking for a subscribe at the start feels annoying i would rather watch the video first and decide at the end.
 
Never hate such video when it ask to subscribe first to the broadcast channel to secure uploads of many helping videos on the channel,it happens on problem resolving videos to prove the unique of the presentation video.
 
Absolutely. If the video hasn’t earned my attention yet, asking for a subscribe feels premature. Let me enjoy the content first
