It works really well actually.

Personally I refuse to do this and my channel on youtube still grows but it is probably growing a lot slower than if I had been begging.

Since I do it for fun and not profit I couldn't give a damn though.

There's this minecraft youtuber I've been following for ages, who has been on youtube for like 10 years and still doesn't ask for likes or subscribes (ethoslab). Especially in that space the absence of it is remarkable, I haven't found anyone else who does this. Occasionally he does collabs and the collaborators will do it, and you can really see that it does work, it makes a big difference.

Yep I know him.

He is the only one I can think of that doesn't do this and it makes me personally much more inclined to watch him. He also feels "uncommercial" even after 10 years I think it's fantastic that he is able to keep it that way.
