Well said. We have a homesteading channel and it seems like we can't get any body to leave a comment or give us a like.people need to realize it does not cost anything to subscribe or comment.

Great advice! I found you by Tim Childress sharing about your photography channel on his photography channel a few months ago. To me YT is like visiting and supporting small hometown stores vs big box retailers. I am watching and supporting real people with real stories to tell across the country and world. The other piece is documenting our lives. If YT would have been around before my dad passed I would have so many more video memories and treasures of him!

Thumbs up Ron. Typically if it's someone I'm subscribed to, I know i enjoy and support their content so I hit the like button before the video starts haha 😂 that way I don't have to remember at the end. New channels I'll wait to see if I resonate with the content first

@@forced_perspective I do the same James. I usually hit the light button at the start of the video. My feelings are if they took the time to produce the video and the at least deserve I like. To reinforce that if I’m really impressed, I will leave a comment.

When I first started to watch You Tube, I didn't know the creators were getting monetized for them. Now that I have retired and spend time watching a few of you guys on You Tube in the morning while the coffee is starting to flow thru my veins, I have learned how important it is to hit the like button. I also subscribe to a bunch of creators but might not sit down until we get a rainy day and then binge watch some that I need to pay extra attention too...like Medicare supplement choices.

I hit like when I like something. This video wound up in my recs, and I don't even like photography but I gave it a shot anyway, all the way to the end. I've found that courtesy Likes only get me more of the same in my recs, so I don't do it when I don't like. Hope that answered your question. 👍😎✊ I suppose we'll never know why I was recommended to begin with.

Great point! I always try to remember to hit the like button...but sometimes I have to go back to the video later and hit it because I forget. LOL

I watch lots of KZbin on photography and computers. It helps me to learn, always important. It also helps while I am stuck at home recovering from surgery.

I don’t always like or subscribe to every video I watch. The problem for me is there are people putting out content on subject matter they have no clue about. Just to make a buck. Most of the photographers I watch are in or around Chattanooga. You, Phil, Tim. I know you guys are putting out good content about things that interest me. Keep up the good work.

I hit the like button for myself and the person that made the video. If I'm looking for an answer to something I don't need to watch the same video twice in most cases. If I'm on a mission to find an answer I may need to watch a bucket full of videos so by hitting the like (or dislike) button it helps them out and it helps me out because I can see I've already watched that video. I have a close circle of friends that I share tons of videos with.

Something else came to mind. Corey on Finding Our Someday (FOS) does a great job with photography. We just got back from Ragland Bottom Corps of Engineers campground. Near Burgess Falls and Rock Island. Colors are out. Was a bit hazy from time to time due to Canadian smoke I guess. Do you have your America the Beautiful card for 50% off federal camping and national park admissions?

I hit the button. You can also say that we like seeing the number of likes go up, even if it's just a little bit of vanity. I work from home and I will queue several videos and let them play as I'm working. I don't get to pay nearly as close attention as I would like, and I also therefore forget to hit the like button at times. I always hate it when it goes to the next video before I had a chance to like it. On some, I do absolutely make the point of hitting pause so that I can like and comment. Just trying to be a part of the community, figure it will come back around eventually. I do say though, I am much more likely to like a video that has no or very few likes already. If the likes are already in the thousands, do they really need me?

i watch many videos on my tv so i cant hit a like button, not everyone uses a laptop or phone some of us watch on other devices that are not capable or even convenient to hit the like button. so that's probably a huge reason why some dont its certainly a huge reason i dont.
