- anigbrowl 12y agoSo very true. In general the number of 'Likes' relative to views on Youtube is about 1%.
- nfoz 12y agoYou can't like a video on Youtube without being logged into a Youtube/Google+ account.
- anigbrowl 12y agoSo? I don't think that's evidence that another 49% are desperate to dispense tips but can't do so because they haven't signed up for a free account.
- baddox 12y ago1% isn't that bad though, considering the minuscule cost of serving one video or one web page. Conversion rates for online ads are at least an order of magnitude lower than that.
- coldpie 12y agoI don't "like" videos on YouTube because I don't know what that function does. Is it going to repost that "like" onto my G+ profile? Or will it show the video on my friends' YouTube main page? I want to give some props to a guy showing me how to replace the brake pads on a Mustang without spamming my friends' pages, but I don't know what "liking" does, so I don't do it. I once make a Public post to a YouTube video someone had made of a game I made back in high school onto my G+ page. I put a short paragraph explaining what the video was about so my friends would have some context. That paragraph turned into a public comment on the YouTube video! What the hell! It was worded super awkwardly, too, since it wasn't written in that context.
- m_eiman 12y agoI don't ever Like anything, because if I did Facebook/Google/whatever would broadcast that everywhere they can in the hope of generating more ad views. If I could send a "nice work!" to the author without telling the whole world, it's more likely I would.
