I do all of those things (social media, reddit, not spamming, etc) but my growth is on the slow but steady side, despite just about 4 times larger than your channel.

Have you optimized your approach towards your target audience? reddit is a bit hard to gain reliable viewership due to the massive amount of people uploading things to the site. It could also be something related to your content depending on what you post the number of people you reach and the number of people actually watching the content may be affecting your overall rate of growth. You seemed to have done very well but as the relevance of Doom dropped so did numbers and that could indicate why you've been experiencing lack or slowing in growth.
I would suggest if you haven't already try using twitter to locate people with an interest in doom content and reaching out to them alongside any other social media outlet. Of course like I mentioned in the video nothing is sure fire these are just tips mainly for beginners to help them get started, this is not really guaranteed to work as effectively for larger channels like yourself. A lot of youtube comes down to a bit of luck you've been at this a lot longer then myself so I'm sure you know this

 

[Doom Video Vault]

I do post my videos to /r/Doom and even tho there's not a ton of growth, the community outside of it (IE Doomworld, ZDoom forums) are ripe with activity. The biggest problem I have is audience retention, it's about 19-20% My older videos were longer in general but I've been posting shorter videos more often in the 7-15 minute range more, but not all maps can be completed in one shot without resorting to splitting the video up (Some custom maps can get very long, like 30+ minutes), which I really don't want to do.
