I follow a few rather successful channels that started after 2014. There was even a channel that I followed pretty much right from the start, back in 2017. They've done very well for themselves (around 15,000 subscribers), but I know how much work they put in. Especially because they were trying to break into a very popular video genre.
That's really the main thing. It's how much work you put into your channel. If you can manage daily uploads, that'll help. Build a social media presence. Network with other channels that are like yours. I think Youtube is even starting to recommend new channels to people, so your video might catch people's attention.
Most of all, have fun with it! Don't stress yourself out, and don't get discouraged.
