I also kinda agree. I watch *a lot* of youtube and it might be personal but the whole action of asking for engagement kinda turns me off ("subscribe if you want more content, click like to let me know what you think", etc).
I think the proposed question "have you ever looked up a celebrity on Wikipedia?" is sufficient enough to get engagement; maybe even ask why or what did you find out to the question.

I'm not sure I like "Click like if..." personally, seems kind of cheap. And surely everyone's looked up a celebrity one time or another?

Thoughts? Engagement is a goal right now, and getting our large audience of mostly readers more involved.
