YouTube is such a great place for content creators. The problem isn't that most YouTube Channels don't have great content. It's that they can't seem to get any eyes on their videos. You could spend hours & hours producing top of the line videos, but if you can't get them in front of the right audience, they'll never get the traction they need. That means barely any views, let alone subscribers.
