Amid struggles, there's a haunting fear for new creators: the stigma attached to low view counts. In a saturated market, where thousands of similar channels vie for attention, standing out becomes a Herculean task. The subconscious pressure prompts viewers to gravitate towards already popular content, leaving lesser-known creators struggling for visibility. The realization dawns—viewers desire validation in their choices, often leading them to shy away from videos that have yet to gain traction.
