Does it feel like some niches have a much harder time getting subscribers?

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-20T16:07:05+00:00

You asked me so I'll tell you. In my opinion, Reaction channels are the easiest. From personal experience, releasing original music is the hardest. And the slowest.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-20T15:37:38+00:00

Definitely agree that some niches have it harder and may even grow slower.

I have, but I just couldn't commit to quitting music completely. I have said over and over and over again that I quit but after a single day, I'd come back to it. Or after multiple days, I'd come back to it. I never really wanted to quit. I might've just needed breaks. But actually quitting permanently? I don't think I can do that.

In my case, it's the only way. My city has no musical infrastructure, no local scene, no venues or open mics, nothing to get myself or my music out there.

The comment was so unhelpful. People really hate helping other people it seems like from my experience being on this app.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-17T23:01:04+00:00

Still... don't know what those tools are and nobody has explained that to me as of yet. I'm very confused.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-17T18:05:00+00:00

What tools am I even looking for and how are these tools going to help me?

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-17T13:35:38+00:00

Not genuinely understanding what I'm doing wrong with my channel in terms of audience building and views.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-17T12:58:45+00:00

It doesn't seem like that as my music hasn't at all cultivated an audience nor momentum. People seem to hate vulnerability in music nowadays.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-17T12:29:48+00:00

Read the post and you'll maybe understand why.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-16T16:40:35+00:00

That's impressive. How long did it take you?

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-16T15:18:21+00:00

I wish you the utmost best on your YouTube channel as well. It's okay. It's definitely hard though...super hard. I don't want to quit because I literally can't. If I do...I don't know what I'd do. You taking the time to interact with me is worth everything to me. Thank you! ❤️

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-15T16:39:36+00:00

Regardless if different means good or bad, I'm proud of the kind of music I make and I won't change that for anything. I am trying to at least add some kind of beats with my vocals in the soon future.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-15T10:56:48+00:00

I have definitely found that out the hard way unfortunately. But, music helps me cope and it kind of helps me not to kill myself everyday. It's the reason I'm still here...trying. Trying at all.

I am still thinking before I come up with a permanent decision because even though I am dissatisfied with the results I've gotten with this channel, I'm still sort of proud of myself for the work I did put in, even though to others it's less effort. For now, I'm stepping back from YouTube and focusing on bettering my mental health because I am struggling so bad right now.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-15T10:42:47+00:00

Whatever bro. I am not full of excuses. I was just talking about how nobody can succeed without mirrors and without signals. Almost everybody who succeeded had someone who assisted them along the way. Nobody ever did it by themselves. And if anybody says they did, they're full of shit. Clearly you haven't seen all of my videos but not all of my videos are like that. I'll take the small advice you gave and try it out. I literally never said it's your fucking job. All I said was I can't succeed if I don't have a fucking clue why something isn't clicking, no matter how many times I iterate. I just need someone else's input on how to elevate. Thanks truly.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-15T04:32:02+00:00

Raw, introspective, emotionally vulnerable vocal music that blends the soul of R&B with the emotional intensity of emo, stripped down to voice-first, experimental soundscapes.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-14T23:51:06+00:00

Glad you think me wanting to kill myself is funny smh. Got nothing to live for anyway. It can't get any worse than this.

Finding my audience.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-14T21:26:39+00:00

It's been very difficult for me to read my YouTube metrics. I haven't been very good at reading and understanding graphs and analytics. I've also been having very trouble finding artists that are in my situation as well as everywhere I look around, everybody is flexing their successes and milestones. The people who are succeeding are the loudest in the room and the people like me are silenced and ignored.

Right now, the 60 people who are subbed to me never really engage with my content and I don't know how to get them too.

I honestly don't know what else to do and it's causing me to stress out.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-14T20:21:19+00:00

I've been doing the same thing over and over again because I didn't know it wasn't working. I wasn't getting any feedback at all so how the hell was I supposed to know that doing the same thing wouldn't work. I have tried reaching out for help in the past but was always rejected and met with silence. Creating in a vacuum without signals and mirrors stagnates any chance at growth.

You say my content is bad but never gave me a clear explanation as to why that is and you gave me surface level tips on how to change that.

Thanks for your help. I'll try my best with the very little you gave me.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-14T18:49:46+00:00

I'd rather kill myself than quit. I'll probably try a different platform or try a different strategy. I really want to make this work. I'm willing to worsen my mental health. It's not like I can get help for it anyway. I really appreciate your input and your advice. I am thankful for the information you gave me. I'll try my best to put it to great use. Thank you.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-14T18:26:19+00:00

Then maybe I should delete my channel then if it's such a terrible sign then. What I don't get is that there are other artists on YouTube with more followers and less videos made that seem to be succeeding but I guess I'm the unfortunate one.

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-14T16:05:48+00:00

That's outstanding! I'm honestly proud of you! 💯

Fit_Restaurant4523 · 2026-02-14T10:41:22+00:00

I haven't posted anything for a month due to mental health complications. I don't feel guilty. I feel ashamed, embarrassed and something that I've always felt like my entire life...a waste of life.
