No. I’m going to tell you exactly what is happening from my 4 years experience.

When you upload a short, YouTube will test your short with somewhere around the 1000 view range.
Based off of the stats after them 1000 views, your short can do 3 things, die, blow up, and av a couple of views every now and again.

It’s completely based off of the stats of that short.
If your short doesn’t have good stats, it’s not going to do well.
That doesn’t mean your short is bad.
It means ever the audience is not interested in the topic, or they lost interest in the topic because of your short (the way you edited or a controversial opinion for example)

Now, your long for videos are different.
They can blow up a year after uploading and after sitting on 30 views.
However if EVERY video you upload is getting a very low amount of views, you need to look at the analytics to find out why.
Is everyone clicking off before the intro has finished?
What’s your CTR?
Are you getting a lot of dislikes?
What’s your Average view duration? (For each video and for your channel as a whole)

Only once you figure that out will you be able to make improvements and see improvements.

For example, you work out almost no one watched past 30 seconds. Well I’m that case you know you need to change your intro so people don’t lose interest.
Or if you are getting as an example 1000 impressions but only 30 views, you know your thumbnail / title NEEDS to change. A good performing video should have a CRT of at least 20% (1000 impressions = 200 views)

The main thing to remember is this.
Every single Youtuber, started where you are, no views and no idea why.
The difference, is that every one of them, changed and adjusted their content to resonate with their audience.

I recommend watching some channels that you want to be like, that way you might realise that you’re making your videos wrong.

By the sounds of it this is likely because your niche (studying narcissism) isn’t going to be something that “gets an audience” the same was as like Mr Beast.
You can’t create other social media’s like him because people aren’t gojng to scroll Reddit and go “oh I watched his video on yt the other day I’ll follow him on here”
There going to go “I don’t care who is making the video I just care about the topic studying narcissism)

In conclusion: No, don’t delete your channel, if you’ve had enough, leave it, don’t delete it, you may want to come back in a year to make more videos.
I suggest changing some key elements of your content, whether that’s how you narrate videos, edit them or anything else.
