Nice commentary @
AverageGun!
Some people do look at the number of subscribers that a small channel has and it's unfortunate that happens. Some people (there was a discussion about this on our forums at one point) use the strategy of turning off the subscriber counter for the public and have reported success but I understand the inconvenience that it comes with (I don't use this strategy myself.)
With the quality of your videos, I'm sure your channel will start growing a whole lot faster once you get a few more people watching.
Keep up the good work, and get well soon!
I'm a little sick myself haha.
