Not sure I can continue this journey
I wasn't sure where to place this because I'm not sure if I'm looking for advice, feedback or an Okay to go ahead and let go of my channel. I have been struggling with grow, views, everything quite frankly with my channel since about May. I felt like I was finally on the turn around after many videos did well, at least well enough for me. I have been stuck in the under 100 views for months now. In October, I had a major surgery, took a break and worked on revamping my channel - creating a more stacked niche and was excited to get back to it. However, I am feeling frustrated and I don't know what to do at this point. This is 5 years on YouTube, and I didn't start to really pay attention, learning more about making videos until about 2 years ago. I finally reached 1K subscribers earlier in the summer, had a sponsored post in May and now I'm not sure what to do at this point. I also want to say I know that many have seen a huge decrease in views, etc. However, what really bothers me is I was only 5 hours away from being monetized, until it dropped off the hours and now back at almost 1K hours needed. I have enough videos filmed to finish out the year but I'm hoping anyone can offer some help, suggestions or advice. Thank you so much for taking the time to read.

Yeah, that stings. I can understand your frustration, for sure. However, I'd also have to say that you're so close, despite the setback, that it would really be a shame to give up now.

I'm currently using CapCut because it's been so easy to use. I have downloaded Davinci Resolve, but I don't know how to use it and it's not intuitive. I'll probably learn how to use it later.
My first "Short" on my new channel....
...has over 1000 views and gained me one subscriber. I published it last night and wasn't expecting that!

@Des Dreckett It just published a few minutes ago. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I'm not gonna hold my breath!

It's crazy, but that first "short" now has over 2800 views in about 24 hours and I now have 4 subscribers. Not a bad start! .....of course, the second "short" has only 19 views. Go figure.... LOL!!

@Ferus Yusuke My face is in every video I've made so far! That's not an issue. :)
