Well looking at the comments you do have, they seem not to be saying "Good job" or other compliments, they seem to be actual comments on the content (or trolling, I saw some of that too).

Really, I'm not surprised that people won't go out of their way to give a comment or a thumbs up, but the people who do comment have something that is worth hearing (typically) and that's why they comment, they want you to know what they have to say about what you posted. As a youtuber, I seldom will comment with 'good job' or 'nicely done' because you as a youtuber won't get anything out of that besides a compliment, and as a youtuber - a view or a subscribe is a bigger compliment than a 'good job' comment.

If you want comments, and you want them to be good and worthwhile, make sure you ask a question at the end, call on your viewers to comment, don't just do stuff, involve your viewers. The fact that your vids have so many views should tell you that people watch you, and by the volume of views that you have, I would assume that they enjoy watching you, so that should suffice for good job imo.

That's so weird. After a year of vlogging, I still have yet to break 1000 views on any video, but I can get 20 comments on any video in a week easily.
