If you are ranked in the top 1000s, video stats websites will give you a good idea how you rank but most people are not the top 1000 Youtubers. For the rest, its a good idea to get a sense of your percentile ranking given the number of subscribers you have. I.e. how many have more subscribers, and how many have less; based on your current subscriber count. The percentile ranking is based on a subset of the 1 billion viewers on Youtube. That is, you are ranking yourself among people that have a Youtube account and actually cares enough about subscriber count. This of people that cares likely totals less than 1/10 of the 1 billion. If you rank yourself among the 1 billion then getting 1 sub will put your at the top 10% already which isn't too useful a metric.

Depending on your Youtube video skills, you may find that your subscriber count has a snowball effect (i.e. I call it an exponential effect). I suspect that this effect has to do with your ability to continuously innovate and produce better and better videos.

I hypothesize that you actually need to continually innovate in order to keep the growth rate at an exponential rather than becoming linear. This is very similar to athlete training, I suppose because you can find yourself in a plateau and see your subscriber count increase only marginally.

All this is easier said than done because continual improvement is very difficult. Everybody has different abilities and different rates of improvement. That means everybody will have a different rate of exponential view/subs increase. For reference, this channel has doubled in subscriber count roughly every 3 months and an increase in an order or magnitude (10x) every 1 year. I have no idea if the rate will keep the same or keep up with these projections so we will see!
