"don't forget to like and subscribe!"

what's the issue with that?

They're normally not that short and I hate being asked to do the same thing a thousand times.

Yep. Big youtubers should stop doing that when they have achieved decent growth. But nope.

I don't like being told what to do. And everyone does it so it becomes an incredibly over done catch phrase. I'll decide on my own if I want to like or subscribe, and I hate it when they ask at the beginning of the video. At that point they are telling you to blindly do it.

I agree with saying it at the beginning of the video but I don't mind when it's said at the end. If I'm still there I clearly enjoyed it and might want to consider subscribing.

I think in general I have a really bad attitude towards engagement interactions, since I was well aware of the cliche recommended sales people tactics that any of those techniques rub me the wrong way. I prefer more grounded deliveries that don't leave me with the impression of a sales encounter.
