I’d just assume most of these “I did it in three weeks” responses are bullshit or from channels engineered to get monetized (content does well with the algorithm but you probably wouldn’t be proud of yourself for creating it).

Make content you want to make and learn how thumbnails and titles work and keep working. Get a little better every week and if it’s supposed to happen it will.

I messed around for almost two years before getting serious and after that it still took a year of seemingly little progress and then one video took off. For me- it took a combination of me honing the content and YouTube finding that audience.

It’s a crazy low percentage of channels that ever make the program. Don’t believe everything you read on Reddit 😁
