Even if your content is "valuable", it won't get significant views and subscribers and shares unless it's ENTERTAINING. The key to doing that on YouTube is to have a live talking head host that looks good and sounds good. People keep going back to a particular channel because they connect with the personality of the host appearing on camera. Drop the animations and do it live. If you're not smooth/funny/friendly/clever/personable/handsome etc enough on camera, then use a friend or family member that is. Unfortunately, sexist as it is, the optimum host for fast channel growth is a young good-looking woman.

My videos are definitely lacking personality, thanks for the tip this resonates. I guess its time for a hair cut and a shave(About a month into trying to grow my hair out)

Yet most of the successful youtubers outside of beauty&family-content are males, aren't they? But of course, you don't need to be the next Mr Beast to be successful on youtube. Everyone needs to find their own way and niche.

  The VTuber point is pretty awesome. TBH I'd be way more comfortable behind an avatar, I might invest in a rig. I have some experience in live videos (used to work on FB Live and Horizon Venues) so this might be something I can pull off
