I haven't had any growth for about 3 weeks now. Any subs i've gain have literally replaced those I have lost a couple of days prior.
I think a lot of it is down to trends and and people shifting around a lot on stuff they like etc.
I think social media has a massive part to play, share your content around on the media's and any groups that allow you too etc.
Other than that, not a clue myself either
