# Bold Y-Tick Label and Every Node Near Coord

I can make my xticklabel apply \bfseries, I can make my xlabel and ylabel apply \bfseries. For some reason, I cannot seem to get my yticklabel to apply this effect. At least when I compare the "1" in my xticklabel, it is clearly different than that in my yticklabel.

Fairly related, but happy to split into a 2nd question, is applying the same bold weight to the every node near coord/.append style. I do believe that these values are generated in mathmode, so I am not surprised I was not successful in applying a standard \bfseries weight to them. But if someone could provide a solution to that as well, it would be great. I did try, based on zero understanding of the inner workings, to use the etoolbox package and \robustify\bfseries without effect.

Using \boldmath instead of \bfseries is sufficient for both questions.
