Imagine how many channels died because people released 10 videos and gave up when they didnt see the results they hoped for and felt like they deserved, the 11th video could have been their viral one but it just didnt happen.
Imagine this was RyansToyReview/Ryans World for example, the biggest childrens channel ever created on YouTube. They were not an overnight success, I remember seeing their beginnings commenting on other kids channels "check out my kids channel" (including on my own - this is why I know this as factual) to get viewers to theirs. They did blow up massively and quite early but they could have easily given up just before going viral.
This may be you, thinking of giving up, sick of low views and poor engagement. You could be one step away from blowing up just like them. That idea you have, that goal you have in your mind. Stick at it. Dont give up!
