I believe the numbers you provided are below average, not average. When you're giving advice, and you're not an authority figure, people aren't going to take your word at face value. If you had brought in several channel's monthly sub/view ratios from Socialblade and actually had statistical information to back up your point I would be more inclined to listen. Based on the sample thread I provided, I'm just not seeing your numbers as an average. I would love to know what the Top 100 channel's ratios are, I think that'd be interesting.
