Description
Use this, when there is an explicit reminder to like, subscribe or interact with them on any paid or free platform. If it is about something specific it should be under Unpaid/Self Promotion instead.
Motivation
Calls-To-Action never contain useful information. If it could be useful, use Unpaid/Self Promotion instead.
This includes:
- Short reminders to Like, Subscribe, Follow, Interact, or watch to the end
- This includes "Pay attention or you'll miss [x] Easter Eggs", playback speed, and repeat requests
- Reacting to messages or donations
- Request for opinions in comments (See Exceptions/ Edge Cases)
Exceptions/ Edge Cases
- Factual advice should not be included; Opinions or polls should be (See Examples)
- How can I improve the machine I am building (Factual)
- If anyone has worked with x before and has advice on proper practices, please comment below (Factual)
- What should we call our new cat (Opinion)
- If anyone has any suggestions for a name, comment below (Opinion)
Not included
- On-screen interaction reminders that cannot be skipped without disrupting content. If you manage to make a segment which skips one of these without cutting out content and it doesn't have a bad transition, go ahead and submit it.
- Subscribe button animations.
- Like button animations.
- Notification button animations.
- Answering or reacting to comments
- Talking about something specific:
- an event
- a specific post
- a long-ish explanation
