Why is my channel still small?

I'm a little confused. Why does everything think they will get big in such a short amount of time? I mean some people do but it's not the rule.

I'm just wondering, not trying to get an exact answer. Also, I'm know there is no easy shortcut as Jordon said, "it depends on luck". I've stopped doing what stupid people, no offense, would do like spamming and doing sub4sub.
 
My channel started off decent, but went small after I had to get a new channel due to losing my adsense account because of clickbombing.

There's a million factors, but be grateful for the audience you already have and grow it from there.
 
Sadly, I don't have an actual audience since I've been posting my videos up lately and never took a big break on uploading and editing and recording videos

No offense to me my friend. I hate spamming. It does depend on luck. I guess I just think that you don't need to stress on it. Keep learning and working at it and I believe it will happen for you.

Thanks! Hearing that from you makes me believe in myself a little bit more.
 
Im going to kind of disagree with some people here. You have been posting for what looks like 3 months on your gaming channel, yet you have less than 30 subs. Seems you have consistent uploads, so that isn't the problem.

I noticed that you have over 300 followers on twitter, and are interacting somewhat on there. That probably isnt the problem.

Without watching a lot of your videos, my guess is that you have a couple problems:
Not promoting your videos rigorously enough. Hit twitter and facebook and friends to get them involved.
Not using SEO. Its common that people do not understand SEO and so they cant rank for any terms.
Creating content in areas that are both out of date and saturated. (amnesia, skyrim, and walking dead have been done a lot and are not hot topics anymore)
Let's plays are good, but "Skyrim Part 22" isn't a friendly topic to a new viewer. Maybe mix in some shorter stand-alone videos.
You have 4 channels, all of which are small. Focusing your effort on one might allow you to grow more easily.

Luck can help (shoutouts from large channels, or ranking for a hot search term that other youtubers didn't think of) But youtube really is "the more you put in, the more you get out."

Those are the areas I would work on if you are interested in growth. It looks like you put good effort into your content, just maybe in the wrong areas. Often lack of success doesn't mean bad videos, but that something else is wrong.

Best of luck with your channel! looks like you have the work ethic and the technical skills to be successful. Just keep working at it.

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.

Hi, I had a look at your channel and its not too bad, the video quality is good and the quantity of videos is good, You get ok views too considering you only have a small amount of subscribers. It might be me but is your one channel banner anything to do with gaming? It doesnt look like it when you first see it. Mine does, that might help. I would suggest also putting all your efforts into just the one channel as it seem you have 3 others!. Good luck

I will definitely try making a banner, even though it might be difficult to do alone. And for my 4 channels, they are kind of left alone. One is a music channel with no videos done yet, maybe in the future. One is my first channel which I don't do anything with it anymore, I just use it as a "look how I got here" kind of thing. My third channel is about personal stuff which I only do weekly vlogs with my iphone for now and I might do more in the future. Lastly, my gaming channel (channel on this account/down below) has all my attention and my dedication and my soul which I try to put up as much great videos as possible.
