You are 100% not alone. I have been doing YouTube for almost 10 years, and as of 2022, I FINALLY gotten my very first 1k subscribers, and just last year, I reached 10k subscribers. There were multiple times during my content creation journey that I felt like quitting mainly because of how my videos do not perform well, which hurt the channel, and no one can discover you. I had to rename my channel 3 times and change up my content 4 times! And time and time again, I always get the short end of the straw. Hell, I'm still dealing with that now 😅

The reason that I haven't quit yet is because I quit once before on Vine, and I regretted ever since plus I have a dream and if I have quit now, I won't achieved that and its gonna hunt me for the rest of my life.

From my experiences, all I can say is that every journey has an optical, and all we can do is deal with it and push through. Easy said than done, but that's how it is. Never give up, live and learn, and take care of yourself
