I do wonder about the third point, though. I know YouTubers who started the whole "please subscribe" dance because their analytics show that it actually does boost their subscriptions when they do it Vs when they don't.

I'm not sure why that is (do we as an audience forget that subscribing is ana option if we aren't reminded????) but if it works that way for YouTube I wonder if it might work the same for docs and that's why authors keep doing it.

To answer your question, yes! People who are watching a channel they just found often forget subscribing is an option, or take a while to determine whether they want to subscribe or not. When reminded later on, they go "oh yeah they should consider that, since they've been watching a bunch of these now, haven't they?" and hit subscribe.

I don't think it works as much for authors, though, unless they're writing multichaptered fic with a reminder every time, the same way youtube channels work. Almost nobody subscribes to a whole channel for a one-off video, and random reminders "to subscribe/comment" doesn't get people to subscribe in general to other random channels.

I don't think it works the same for comments, as comments require time and thought, whereas liking and subscribing just requires clicking a couple of buttons on the screen.

It may work for "kudos," since that's a single click. But you're always going to see fewer comments than "kudos" (just as, on YouTube, there are always fewer comments than "likes" and subscriptions), just because leaving a comment is by nature harder to do.
