It's very common on youtube, there are some people who create good music and they have like 100 subs or so. Most people don't usually see these channels because 99% of recommended videos are with over a million views, or from very popular creators. so people just don't have a way to find such authors, it can only happen by accident, or like here on the forum.

Definitely yes for only music channels, but he's got other content like the tree talks which are quite original, I think there should be interest for meditation-inspirational videos of very high production quality like his. But maybe I'm wrong and this is common as you say.
