I have an investment/finance/entrepreneurship channel. It's grown to 5000 subs in just under 5 months. I started out with two interviews of entrepreneurs who were personal friends. Since then, I just started making videos on mostly investment related topics because at the very beginning, my cold outreach on linkedin and email was getting ignored.

Now that I'm at 5000 subs, will I still largely get ignored? When are you "big enough" to be taken seriously by, let's say, regular people who themselves don't have much exposure and you might be helping them as much as they would be helping you with your channel content?

Any perspectives (based on 1st or even 2nd hand knowledge) on this would be great.
