So when I was recently asking a person to maybe help me solve the mystery of why exactly my channel is growing so slowly, they were very surprised to learn that after almost 7 years of constant content my channel still hasn't developed any core following group. And sadly he, nor anyone else in the conversation were able to identify what could cause such an old channel, even if it has a terrible 1.6k subs after so long, to not have any core community. Currently only around 1% and often less of my already few views come from subs, so barely any of those are even active. So that conversation really got me thinking: why has my channel not developed such a core audience if supposedly it should be there easily for a channel after so many years? How can I fix it? And could that be what has been stopping my channel from growing like a proper channel?
