Virtually any video I watch that asks me to do anything of the sort
asks me to click the like button, the subscribe button, and the bell
icon. (One I've just watched said click the bell icon because you
thought the subscribe icon did something which it didn't.)
I've never seen the bell icon - at least not knowingly. Where is it?
What _does_ it do that the subscribe icon doesn't? (I've never been
_too_ sure what "subscribing" does; I've always guessed it meant that releases from that channel were more likely to appear in my home
page, which otherwise just showed things based on what I'd watched in
the past, especially if I'd "liked" them.)

It was next to the subscribe button, but as I don't have an YT account >anymore, I can't check it.

Subscribing meant that the videos from the channel will be suggested
and you received regular notifications about new videos.
The enabled bell changed that to instant notifications. In the past
this was based on emails, but Google discontinued that. Maybe they now
only rely on their YT app.
