No, you need to be patient, persistent, and keep making content. I just crossed 50K subscribers and 3 million views for a Python for Finance tutorials channel (https://youtube.com/parttimelarry).

You are well ahead of my pace so far. It looks like you just started in December and it's only January.

I documented my stats on Twitter:

End of Year 1 (2019) (first 5 months July-December 31). 100 subscribers.

End of Year 2. (2020) 10,000 Subscribers.

End of Year 3. (2021) 50,000 Subscribers.

Keep going if you have the time and good things will happen. In Casey Neistat's 10 Million video, he says the hardest thing is getting the first 10,000:

I would echo the part about continually making content. Releasing videos at consistent intervals and at the same time, say every Monday at 8:00am, is suppose to make you “look good” to YouTube and can boost your reach.

Thanks for the encouragement and sharing your experience. Patience and iteration seems to be the key here. Congrats on 50k
