All the time.
I've been one YouTube for two years and hit 250,000 views, but only have 513 (I had 514 but lost one today) and the sub count goes up and down as well. I don't have really awesome equipment. I don't have an HD camera and I have to use Windows Movie Maker to edit, which means converting files and quality ends up going down because of converting. With 80% or so people on YT with HD cameras, I know a lot of viewers just love~ that HDness.
I don't know what else to do besides keep on doing what I've been doing because it is my channel and I only do videos I enjoy, but... yeeeah. My newest video was uploaded on Sunday and it's hitting 1,000 views today and that's awesome, but I know I've only gotten maybe one or two subscribers from it. Sometimes my 1k+ videos don't get subscribers at all.

I deff. know how you feel! i even stopped for a little while (actually a couple of times) just because I'm like why should i? I'm not making any progress but then i think maybe i am i just don't see it! and i start up again by motivating myself life watching dulcecandy87 or heart and realize i want to be in the same position helping millions of people and it all comes back to me why i started to begin with!

I have a few videos with high view counts, one has over 200,000, but I don't have nearly that amount of subscribers. That's pretty normal for YT and I wouldn't be worried if I were you.
However, unfortunately, there are SO many people making beauty videos on YT that it is very hard to be noticed and to stick out of the crowd nowadays. It's also difficult for me to find new YTers because there are tons to sift through until I find some that suit my particular taste. One of the reason's I like beautylish, I can browse through videos/photos to find new people.

I just started YouTube a few weeks ago and I've only got about five videos up, but I spend a lot of time on them and even though I have to record with my Macbook, I know they're good quality! My view count is high but I've only got 25 subs right now. I'm just gonna keep plugging. I know people will find me and I promote however I can without being pushy. Don't lose hope, girls! Do this because you love it!!

That's exactly the way to look at it! I also do not do it to gain a ton of subscribers, I have a group of loyal viewers and I like it that way. If I get a wave of new subs, that's great too, but it's not a necessity.
