I hate people who obsess over youtube views or subscriptions. If your true passion is making videos then you wouldn't give 3 craps about views or subscriptions, you would care about the quality of your videos. And if the quality of your videos gets better and better then more people are going to care and you will naturally get more views and subscriptions.
