== Examples of Please Subscribe ==
* ''[[Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This?]]'': In their more recent{{when}} episodes, each member of the cast asks you to subscribe, not to the channel you're watching, but to their personal YouTube channels instead.
* From ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvY-_W1bk34 Household Hackers]'' we get such gems as, "After we get through today's tip, you'll never again have to wander aimlessly from video to video begging for subscribers like the neglected latch-key child you are." Subtle.
* Every episode of ''[[Mr. Deity]]'' since the third season ends with a sketch in which Brian Dalton (sometimes in character) encourages viewers to donate and/or subscribe. In some cases these have been longer than the episode itself.
Line 21:
'''Ron:''' "Subscribe to wha-?"
'''Hermione:''' "Shhh!" }}
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131106073128/http://dormtainment.com/ Dormtainment] usually has annotations that say please subscribe, and some of the earlier videos even had them asking producers to consider them for a TV show.
* [[Lindsey Stirling]] usually has a [[Stinger]] on her videos where she addresses the viewers and among other things asks them to subscribe to her channel.
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
* YouTube hosts [http://www.youtube.com/contests_main contests], some of which use the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons as a form of voting to determine who wins.
* Webcomics with vote incentives, usually a sketch or preview, to encourage people to vote for them on sites like Buzzcomix or TopWebComics: ''[[Evil Diva]]'', ''[[Earthsong]]'', ''[[Slightly Damned]]'', ''[[Zap]]!'', ''[[Pebble Version]]'', ''[[The B-Movie Comic|The B Movie Comic]],'' ''[[The Zombie Hunters]]'', ''[[The Meek]]'', ''Not a Villain'' and ''[[The Challenges of Zona]]''.
** ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' made some for Buzzcomix in its very earliest days, which you can now see [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/Incentives.html here].
** ''[[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]]'' used to offer an early look at tomorrow's comic, and a one-panel extra that showed what happened after the end of the current comic if you voted for the site. The former was phased out, and the latter was changed so that you only had to hover your mouse over a red button to access, although it's still often referred to as the "votey comic" anyway.
* The ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]'' comment function is never used to comment on the relevant level, but instead consists entirely of people begging you to play and heart their levels. This tendency was parodied in the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' level pack, where {{spoiler|Liquid Ocelot's evil plan was to flood LBP with generic levels encouraging people to heart him so he can become the most popular player}}.
* "Please rate this app" is used in so many iPhone applications (apps) that it's become a [[Stock Phrase]].
* Many webcomics have links to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921132258/http://www.comicracy.com/ Comicracy], where members vote and comment on one another's comics.
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
* Blind Ferret Enterprises, the business developed for producing [[Least I Could Do]] and [[Looking for Group]], founder Ryan Sohmer is viciously against this. When ever he comments about webcomics in general or tries to give advice to people wanting to make webcomics, this is one of the first 'don'ts' on his list, right after 'fail to update when you promise to'.
** Ironically enough, he started a "Kickstarts" (a donation page) in order to gather 50.000 u$s for the [[Least I Could Do]] animated series. Since he posted it on the [[Least I Could Do]] main page, he actually did this.
* Many Web sites offer free anime downloads, like [https://web.archive.org/web/20130908150312/http://english-dub.kametsu.com/ Kametsu.com].
* Animemusicvideos.org used to have a particularly invasive manner of requesting donations. While the site was displayed, it would randomly pull up a screen asking for donations, then at the bottom of this screen there were three buttons, one of these buttons would say something like 'continue', and the two others would say 'donate'. These buttons would be randomly swapped every time the screen pops up, forcing you to either pay attention or risk mistakenly hitting the 'donate' button.
* In ''[[The Wotch]]'', their donation meter is invariably one of the main cast being [[Gender Bender|transformed into a woman]]. The more money is donated, the more of the character's body is transformed.
* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' asks you to turn [https://web.archive.org/web/20121102041336/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/support.html these spiders into monies] to make their dreams come true.
* Webcomics with donation incentives: ''[[Earthsong]]'', ''[[Zap]]!'' and ''[[Girl Genius]]'' have wallpapers, ''[[Slightly Damned]]'' has extra comics, and ''[[True Magic]]'' has extra comics and wallpapers.
* When downloading ''[[Run Man Race Around the World|Runman: Race Around the World]]'', you are asked to donate unless you're a "lame dude who only likes to support lame games". Well, bummer, but they'll give you the game anyway.
