The thing is, it takes a lot of time to get some recognition and in the end success. I reckon if you do what you do with passion and really do have sth to say, sooner or later people will begin watching your show. I bet if there were any statistics out there it would show that the ones with stamina and perseverance prevail in the end. Other statistics like on telecommunication or whatever show that any good idea takes its time, so keep on doing what you like (I just assume that doing your show is fun for you because if you do it for other reasons like becoming an internet celebrity, you are gonna fail).
If you're only making videos for recognition you won't get there, nobody started doing videos for that they just did them for fun and the fame just came with the fun.
Making YouTube videos to become popular is like getting a meal to have a dump. The point is, fame is a by-product of success. Make good YouTube videos, and people will recognise and share them, and fame will come without you worrying about it.
