PS on you-tube means "please-subscribe"
In a letter it mean "postscript" or "Post Scriptum" which is a note appended to a letter after the signature. Basically a little note that you forgot to add in the letter.
Back when it was first used, people didn't have erasers (they only had those feather ink pens), so instead of re-writing the whole letter to add a little note they forgot, they just wrote "postscript:" and later it was shortened to "PS"

A postscript (from post scriptum, a Latin expression meaning "after writing" and abbreviated P.S. or p.s.) is a sentence, paragraph, or occasionally many paragraphs added, often hastily and incidentally, after the signature of a letter or (sometimes) the main body of an essay or book. In a book or essay, a more carefully-composed addition (e.g., for a second edition) is called an afterword. An afterword, not usually called a postscript, is written in response to critical remarks on the first edition. The word has, poetically, been used to refer to any sort of addendum to some main work, even if not attached to a main work, as in Søren Kierkegaard's book titled Concluding Unscientific Po

P.S. means post scriptum or post script. It is used when you have an afterthought or something that you were not able to include in the body of your letter.

P.S.= post scriptum... meaning if you forgot to right something you can add it after the letter.
and in case you might want to know (maybe you already do) N.B. means nota bene meaning you underline a thing that you have to remember.

It means postscript.
It is a Latin expression meaning "after writing".
You use it at the end of your writing when you want to include something else.
