Is it me or is this happening to youtube??

a friend did it, and I suggest you don't partner with RPM, Wait till you get bigger to partner :)

I'd suggest this, although, I would probably start monetizing to at least get yourself out there and use some of YouTube's partner features to get familiar with how things basically work. Just don't expect too much in return.
 
Here's the thing. If you think having an $800 will give you the edge you need, you're looking at things wrong. Most digital cameras these days do HD.. but nonetheless, you seem a bit impatient. You're already talking about partnerships and monetizing .. but the channel in your signature has 1 video and 0 subscribers. (unless you have another channel somewhere.) You are going to have a very short road ahead of you if you keep that sort of thinking up (I smell a rage-quit coming).

Focus all of your time and energy into your content and f**k the rest of it for now. Get comfortable in front of the camera and make the MOST out of whatever equipment you do have.
 
There are also more visitors to youtube which makes growth from "large" to "ultra large" easier...

So this isn't strictly true. I would say "Getting spotted" is harder. That is also due to the prevalence of high quality video cameras these days in comparison to 2005/6. Everything about technology, internet speeds, etc makes it easier to be a content producer these days.
A lot of people will also give it a try because it's so easy to get into making videos, compared to back in the day. Many will quickly quit making videos because although it's easy to actually get a good quality (in terms of video footage) a lot of people will come to the concussion that making videos isn't really their "thing" and things will thin a little bit. I agree that "getting spotted" is much harder, especially in ultra competitive genres. However, there is always room at the top.
