NOT BIG ENOUGH

now that i got your attention.. i want to ask fellow small youtubers if they ever catch themselves getting down because their channel isn't growing as fast as peoples around them? i know when i see my friend hit 200k i was a little sad (but happy for them), but i always tell myself its about having fun not numbers & i should do it for fun , anyone else have this problem?
 
You want to feel very insignificant? Use the compare function on socialblade. My channel doesn't even lift from the zero line on views and subscribers when I compare my channel to the one with the most subscribers I am subscribed to.

But, I do this for fun. And while I would love 100k subscribers I am not going to be affected when this does not happen right away (or, what is more likely... EVER). You should never compare yourself with those that are clearly in another league. I have a friend that is within arms reach, but due to his popularity is ever pulling away from me. But... as I mentioned... I am doing this for FUN!
 
That was my stupidity when i stopped doing what i love cuz i didn't get enough attention or appreciation. But then got back on it. So i guess its normal to think that way. And as proved if you enjoy doing something you won't stop.
 
I catch myself down because I still look like a 12 year old compared to even the girls around me. Like... Even my voice.

:P Not really. I didn't feel down about it when I had a channel for a few reasons, which obviously do not apply to everybody: First one being I knew that I sucked, and the second being I actually was doing well for myself. My views were pretty good looking back on everything, and even though the subscribers weren't there... I felt good about it, for someone who should have not been making videos (nervous, shy, worst equipment ever, etc).
 
I seem to be in a "middle" area were I wish the my channel got bigger a lot faster and I do get down on myself and try to work harder everyday; but I also see the grown of some and am just grateful to be were I am!
 
Oh man, I feel this way all the time. It gets to the point where seeing that little notification bell with a 1 beside it makes my day. But even if my video doesn't break 50 views, I'm still doing what I love. And having even a small view count shows that there were a few people who cared to give my video a watch, which is an awesome feeling that keeps me going! :)
 
Absolutely agree with you!
Once we realized what makes our videos viral (around 2 years ago) we had the choice: reach and unhappy or happy and not so reach. We decided the third one - happy now and reach (and happy) in the far future. :)

Proud to announce that we didn't have a real viral video for the last 1 and half years (OK a few semi-viral but there is no prefect happiness). :)
Another point - many (but not all) of these rapidly growing channels have become viral because of single fortuitous event. This does not predispose to sustainability in long term (several years)!
