I just started wondering why is my channel still small after 6 months of hard work? Is it cause of my quality, my quantity, my attitude, or "no one really cares about small channels" type of thing? Also, any advice would be nice? Thanks if you reply.

I think quality of your content matters, but networking matters most. If you want to be on people's radars you need to post your video where ever you can gain the audience you want and collabing is always a good way too.

Being small isn't bad, especially nowadays. Depending on what you do, YouTube is quite saturated on most niches. To be honest, you shouldn't care about growth that much and just keep doing the thing you like to do.

I just think your intro is way too long(15 sec.) i leaved your latest video around 8 sec. already bored me(i hate boring intro's). Also almost all your video's are very long(seriously 48 min >.<). Since you're such a small channel nobody will watch your video's for that long. Keep mind that audience retention is very important these days.

I will definitely think about that because I've just thought people don't care for length of videos but its content and sometimes, I can't stop at a very bad spot in some games. And those videos were the ending of the series so I have them in a long length.

I've been networking ever since the beginning of my channel and nothing so far.

With a lot of channels, it's just luck of the draw
