Most of us are smaller 'Tubers with under 1,000 subs and under 500,000 overall views.
We all want our videos to succeed but the fact of the matter is, it won't happen to 99.9% of us. Doesn't matter the reason, only a very small percentage of people here will do 'well' (in the sense of gaining more than 1,000 subscribers and 500,000 views)
If someone who somehow knew came and told you that your channel would only ever gain another 100 subscribers and cease growing permanently, would you keep going? Would you stop?
I am curious; almost everyone I've ever spoken to here claims they do their vids not for fame, but for the love of it. But how much would you really have to love your channel to make videos if people stop watching?
