I think Data knew what bluffing was, he just didn't know how to recognizer it. Like Data said, "I studied the game, but I found I was unprepared for the experience of it.
Asking people to subscribe within the first 20 seconds of a video is just ridiculous. Why would anyone commit to subscribing before they even know if the content is worth their time? It’s like walking into a restaurant and being asked to leave a five-star review before you’ve had a single bite. Content creators need to understand that a subscription is earned - not begged for. If your content is compelling, insightful, or entertaining enough, people will subscribe on their own. At best, you can remind viewers at the end of the video to subscribe. That’s when it makes sense. The people who stuck around for the entire video are the ones most likely to subscribe, because they’ve already seen what you offer and are still engaged. Those early pleas for subscriptions just scream desperation, and quite frankly, it’s more likely to turn viewers away than keep them around.
The difference between youtube and your restaurant analogy is that leaving in the middle of the meal is not common. So they do it at the start because there’s often greater viewership then, compared to end of video. But, someone who stopped watching early likely won’t subscribe anyway
Cool story, I appreciate the research.
You need to pick one sign off, though 😉
Live long and prosper 🖖

If Data is pricked, does he not leak?
