To me it's about knowing a few people appreciates my music & voice. I love to sing but if I was singing just for myself I would have never taught myself how to use audio processing software (which took me several months to learn how to use decently, about a year to be able to use well) and spent hours rendering a new video with my audio, or waited hours fo youtube to upload and process my videos. I just really want someone to enjoy my music the way I do making it, but without anyone enjoying it, it really eats away at how much fun it is for me to make it. Every cover I make I have a sense of dread that it will get even less hits/likes/comments than the last. My two most recent videos (which are probably my best 2) got 0 comments, and 0 likes between them. The quickcover didn't take much time but my recent Happy Halloween cover took many months and it's getting hits at an even slower rate than any video before.

I'm not expecting 1000 subs per cover, but at this point I have exactly 1 sub per video. Including my mom and brother and best friend.

It's impossible to get noticed. I can't make myself an article on here, I can't post in reddit's many music communities, I have tried everything and I have no clue where to self-promote to our community, ESPECIALLY places where self promotion is even allowed.

I've uploaded a total of 8, a few are private because they got such low viewcounts or I just decided I didn't like them. Also, my wave cover and Happy Halloween cover took 3 months each, GLIDE took 2, Hello/How Are You was quick, only 2 weeks, and my mix took 3 months too. Even furthermore, I went on hold from February to June of this year for ACT/SAT/AP/Finals. Especially my more recent covers are extremely high quality (I would honestly say my Happy Halloween cover is at the same level as Amatsuki or Ashe) and I plan on releasing a new Gishinanki cover soon. I just am having a hard time facing several month's work for another flop.

It sounds like you're giving up and taking this the wrong way. Tell me, Have you ever opened your channel to collabs yet? followed a bandwagon yet? Do you have OC? Do you upload at a consistent rate? What do your videos look like? What do you use to mix? Have met anyone else in the community yet? These things are very important and having done all if them, CONSTANTLY will eventually help you hit at least 100 subs. I reached 100 subs in 1 and a half months, my content wasn't even that good at the time, however, my supporters saw the determination and raw talent in me. That is why you can't give up.

i wish you lots of luck,
