Automatic Youtube Subscriber Link

[Ironside]

This is something I use when I link my Channel and couldn't find any mention of it on the forum so I thought I'd post the link.

If you add the following to your channel URL the user will get a box asking to confirm the subscription

?sub_confirmation=1

For example:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChI0Bur0KGW9Btwr8UoIjqA?sub_confirmation=1

A word of warning, If the user clicks the same link again they get a cancel subscription pop up.

I've not seen it mentioned here, but have been taken to YT asking if I'd like to confirm I'm subscribing.

I thought it strange that it has never been mentioned here before.

Hope you didn't click it again and cancel

Sorry but I'd hate that...

Even if it said something like:

Subscribe Here

I see that it may be annoying but using the above should be ok, shouldn't it?

Didn't click it at all!

if the wording was less aggressive then it could be very useful, but as is then it is not something I'd inflict on the folk that watch my videos.

I like to preview the content before i commit. But nonetheless good share mate

Yes I'm aware of that format, and yes it should be used if you have mentioned to click the link to subscribe otherwise it's considered a bait to me, and kinda pointless as if I notice things I didn't sub to start appearing I will manually unsub, and what do you really gain for that other than a potentially pissed off at your channel user.
