What keeps youtube vloggers going, especially those who regularly never break 50k-100k views?
Are they hoping for a chance to grow bigger, or are there other ways they're making money off their videos that I dont know about?
I've been following a few youtubers for years that regularly only get about 30,000 views, that's what, 30 bucks per video? That ain't shit. So what's their endgame?
Perhaps they enjoy making videos m8? Not everything is about money.

This. But also sometimes it's vanity.
There's a video of Cate Blanchett freaking out before she was famous and appeared on the amateur talent segment of "Hey Hey it's Saturday" (Comfy Aussie variety show) .
Of course for every Cate Blanchett there's a thousand actual hacks who always want to be famous but never will. And a thousand more who never want to be famous anyway.

Success is luck
Do something and try to win the meme lottery
I got a couple million view videos (i dont show face tho, fuck being a social media drone)
Most youtubers actually just enjoy making videos and don't expect to ever break out of go viral.
Easily 90% of channels I'm subscribed to have less than 50k subs, with about half of that being under 20-30k
affiliate marketing
directing people to other sites that let them get more ad money
making a fake brand by just taking generics and putting their label on it
some of them don't do anything and are still poor because all they really care about is being popular
