Yeah, and those were mostly started because Grian actually joined Hermitcraft in 2019! This let them do more collabs like that, and actually started quite a few that they never would have done. I knew of Grian from their first collab, but really got to know how he works with Hermitcraft
In addition to the collabs, Grian also joined Hermitcraft in mid 2018 (July) with the start of Season 6, which ran right through all of 2019 and into Feb 2020.
I find it hilarious to see people who are so surprised by Lizzie's popularity, because I've been watching her for a long time and only been aware of the other youtubers since like 2020ish!
Same here!! I remember watching her early singleplayer series when I was a kid and here I am years upon years later. I didn't know about most of these other minecrafters until 2021!
i got back in to minecraft content during the pandamic, before that i only really followd the og team crafted guys and after they broke up i did not watch minecraft content at all. everyone on this list is new to me since 2021 or something
As someone who only really discovered Hermitcraft/Life Series people through Mumbo and Grian, I never knew that Lizzie was such a dominant creator for such a long time
And here I am having mainly heard of bdubs and etho (and other Mindcrackers), the *actual originals* to Minecraft YT, lol. I started watching hermitcraft around 2019 when bdubs returned to it.
Only discovetrd Lizzie was OG coz i watched a vid of hers last year or so of playing this Walking Dead/Wolf Among Us multiple choice minecraft game Where she was in it! It was such an old video! So many peoplr I didnt know there. Game was high quality for its time. Im not surr but mightve been madr by minecraft.
Yea I really don’t get this lol skizz is one of the most funny guys of them all. I think it might be very skewed towards kids for obvious reasons. Grian and mumbo probably pull a lot of younger people
i feel like the algorithm constantly fucks him over, like when it's friday and new life series episodes drop I have everyone on my home page but never Skizz
@@jhm8614 Yeah, basically this. Plus the facts that Skizz never had an SMP series and his most popular series (N&S) are mostly uploaded on Impulse's channel (and later on their joined channel).
Agreed. If anything, this kinda made me a little sad. Since they are all great creators but have no where near the same subscriber count. I know things like taste and type of content has a lot to do with it. But the massive differences in the counts shocked me.
@@coolwizard22 It's not just the type of content though, Joel and Lizzie both started with COD which gave them a popularity boost at the start, but they kept growing due to their viewer retention and engagement
Lizzie dominating for quite a long time while being a content creator for a game mostly played by boys (who cater more towards pvp’s and builds - grian and mumbo’s area) is really impressive
@@kaey6105 Grian kind of makes sense but mumbo? Nah I am good. Jokes aside Grian and mumbo have alot of audience that is interested in building or redstone (decoration and construction) areas often suited for girl audiences.

Like he is predictable in that he will start a resistance and chaos. Mumbo is the biggest channel in MCYT Redstone. So both have their upsides and downsides. Lizzie audience is mostly girls or young boys meanwhile the average mc player is 24years of age.

It's really funny seeing people mention that they didn't realize how popular Lizzie is, I've been watching her, Scott and Joel since 2016 in CrazyCraft. Like Lizzie was such a big part of my childhood
7:01 What happened here? Probably Grian joining Hermitcraft happened. Mumbo and Grian’s subscriber counts jumped very quickly after he joined, mostly because people found out who the other was and liked them
Thank you for reacting to my video! I try to make these as accurate as possible, but indeed I have to do some interpolation usually! (I actually have over 1800 true data points for Grian's bar, so his is probably the most accurate ;) )
Even if its not exact as it goes its still impressive to see and knowing most of these creators histories it does well to let you see an overview as the time progresses. I enjoyed it very cool interesting visual representation 😁
I never knew Mumbo was the king of the Hermitcraft crew. I always thought Grian had the most subs by far. After all, his is a very magnetic personality that takes center stage on most of Hermitcraft's events and spinoffs.
Etho and Lizzie were the first 2 I've known about from the very beginning. Sounds like an odd combo, but it really isnt. Back in the early minecraft days, I'd watch Etho and my daughter would use my youtube profile and she was a huge fan of lizzie.
I find it so inspiring watching this. I love how Etho had like no subs even though he was first but kept going and then ended up with the most subs for so long. Same with Grian he never gained 1 sub but kept trying and was second best by the end. Also how come I never knew Mumbo hade the most subs in secret life like what?
Did he actually keep trying during that time, or did he simply have a youtube account that he didn't use much? The oldest video I can find on his channel is eight years old, which is about when he took off.
There for a while, if you were searching for a redstone tutorial on youtube, chances are you were going to find a mumbo video. He's definitely not the best redstoner out there but he is possibly the best presenter of redstone. Add in hermitcraft and any other spinoff and you can see why.
@@goofygoober7617yes, but the people you mentioned didn’t started out making kids friendly videos and they all have at least swear in their early times. The top 4 in here barely have any swear or unfriendly kids content. Lizzie and Joel in particular didn’t have any swears in their videos even back in 2011, which is sooo rare because most of the popular MCYT back in the day always have swears or make jokes that are not kids friendly.
@@joshshultz1250 But you understand my point? They aren't exclusively for older people. Also, a lot of like 28yr olds are calling themselves old these days, so Im not too sure what your definition is.
I remember Etho's sub count stalled for like 4 years before the MC renaissance and his comment section basically became a little community full of inside jokes because it was always the same people watching
There's something kinda oddly sweet watching as everyone's names joined the list. Like something about the internet and youtube is that people from all walks of life and all places can have the chance to meet, and outside of the few creators here who knew each other irl, without their channels none of them would've ever met and become friends. Them creating their channels was the moment they got put on that path where they could meet. Kinda reminds me how I've met some of my own friends online, the random decision to join a live stream chat or say hello changed everything.
As someone who started playing minecraft in pre-alpha (2009, one of the first contributors to the game), I started out watching the Mindcrack server, early seasons of Hermitcraft, CTM maps with Etho, Bdubs, Pauseunpause, and the Yogscast shadow of Israphel series. I found out about Grian long before he joined HC because I used to play on the Wynncraft server waaayy back in it's early days. I had no idea Lizzie and Joel were so popular. I'm shocked I never heard of either of them until the HC crossover with Empires...
It's so weird that I didn't know of any of these guys until around 2018-2019. I used to be really into minecraft content before that time too. I knew of nearly every other major mc youtuber _except_ these guys.
I remember hearing about LDShadowLady but I didn’t watch her. I remember she started getting really popular during like the DanTDM-SkyDoesMinecraft era
Same! Think the only ones I'd heard of were Lizzie and Martyn because I watched Stampy's channel, it wasn't until just before lockdown I came across Grian by chance and fell into the hermit's side of TH-cam.
Lizzie was definitely the first i started watcing out of everyone here, then joel and grian shortly after. Grian i actually discovered through Samgladiator if anyone remmebers those collabs
I’ve been watching Lizzie for so many years, she is still my favorite TH-camr, and I completely forgot about Samgladiator, you just unlocked a so many memories
I only found out about Hermitcraft when Etho joined, and the rest of you all from the life series. Colabs have massive influence on audience migration. I suspect that Mindcrack, Hermitcraft, etc. have caused massive subscriber count increase overall.
Been with Etho since the start, pretty much. Joined Bdubs when I saw his arena on Mindcrack through Etho. Somehow found Martyn before he joined the Yogscast. And I remember being subbed to Lizzy somewhere at some point for some reason, but I had absolutely NO idea she was a giant. Meaning it must ave been before she blew up.
as someone whose first language isnt english and only started watching english videos like 3 years ago its so interesting too see creators like etho, martyn, lizzy etc. were such big creators in like 2015 because i had literally NEVER heard of any of them before the life series
Can we all agree that all of these people should be over a million. What I think needs to happen is Skiz needs to do more collabs with other people other than Impulse and Tango. He's such a nice guy lets get him on collabs with some of the other really popular people for the exposure. Timmy, you are a Legend also! Life Series got me watching all your vids too, keep it up. (To be fair though Grian is my favorite, but you should mess with him more.)
I think that the massive boost in subscribers in 2019 is mostly linked to the beginning of PewDiePie's let's play which made a huge impact in viewership and subscribers for a lot of content creators.
It had a very huge decrease in popularity, his arrival definitly boosted the viewership and recommendations for minecraft youtubers. There's a lot of videos about this subject, i suggest you should inform yourself :) @@christianseibold3369
The popularity of Minecraft YT content overall definitely has ebbed and flowed over time, but the BIG resurgence (aka Minecraft Renaissance) in MCYT popularity in 2019 had multiple contributing factors: there was a general rise in interest and content made for "nostalgia games", which probably led to and then was bolstered by PewDiePie starting his Minecraft Let'sPlay. Grian had joined Hermitcraft midway through 2018 and the season 6 Civil War/Prank War happened mid 2019, which was very popular and generated a ton of collaboration content, which tends to increase subscribers as fans are introduced to new creators. We also had Philza dying in his Hardcore world, which went viral and hit the mainstream news, and SMP Live and Minecraft Mondays increased popularity/diversity of livestreamed Minecraft content. At the end of 2019, Minecraft Championship came in as MCM died and introduced different spheres of MC fans to each other by including a variety of gametypes that required different skills and deliberately teaming creators with different backgrounds (PVP, speed running, parkour, building, SMPs) together. Again, crossover/collab content is great for viewers to find new creators and new styles of content to enjoy (and subscribe to). ...And then, following this reemergence of Minecraft popularity, 2020 and lockdown hit and all online content got a big boost, most notably the DSMP got crazy popular and lots of press attention; I think all Minecraft SMPs (including Hermitcraft, Empires/XLife) got an extra boost in interest there, with a secondary boost hitting especially the largest ones when the DSMP ended and its fans looked for replacement content.
No wonder Mumbo and Grian are so close, they've been side by side in the sub counts ever since Grian popped off (might have the cause and effect wrong there, but you know, can't tell that from the stats alone :D )
Mumbo got me into watching Minecraft content starting in Hermitcraft Season 6. Got hooked and needing more content, watched his Season 5. (now occasionally working on his beginning in Season 2). Over the years and following seasons, I've added many more Hermits to the schedule, following dilligently. The Empires crossover was such an amazing experience, and it made me add Jimmy to the list. What a guy! (also, I'm just glad to see Pearl get going in the graph after such a long time. She's wonderful)
2018 -2019 Mumbo and Grian explosion is likely due to him and mumbo doing A LOT OF collabs and Grian joined hermitcraft. You can see all hermits getting boost from this.
I will say, another part of this graph that's inaccurate is that technically Martyn is first, as his Aka Martyn channel was made on the 8th of April 2008, before Ethos channel was made. It does make the graph weirder that way, since Martyn has far more subscribers on his regular InTheLittleWood channel, and that channel is/was his main channel, but I figured I should say it for accuracies sake
Hey, the new facecam placement and setup right here looks great! First time seeing content after your move, I haven’t caught up on secret life yet, there’s so much to watch! Bdubs episodes have been an hour length most of the time lol!! Anyway, looks fantastic!
I knew Lizzie was one of the older, more beloved creators simply due to people talking about her but I never realised how big she was (that kinda cam out wrong)
It is funny that this video popped up on my homepage today because yesterday was the first day that I realized that Mumbo is the largest channel I'm subscribed to and it isn't even close. There are some channels in my subscriptions that I thought were way bigger and they're just puny in comparison. Also, it is interesting to see what happened in 2019 when they decriminalized subscribing to Mumbo or Grian without subscribing to both. It used to be a felony punishable by death penalty. Now it's just frowned upon.
i have an interesting observation (perspective from a person who literally discovered english speaking minecraft youtubers and life series this summer lol) that people usually split up into two categories: 1) those who mainly watched mumbo and grian, almost didn’t heard about lizzie, were surprised to find out she is so popular 2) those who mainly watched lizzie, almost didn’t heard about mumbo/grian/hermitcraft, most of the time found out about them through the life series with lizzie secret third option: og who have been mainly watching etho/joel and i think that maybe this phenomenon occurs due to them specializing on different kinds of minecraft youtube content? i don’t know though lol i didn’t watch their really old videos and i wasn’t there to compare them and make a proofed conclusion
I actually remember Lizzy from back when she did the moon race with stampy and squid, and for Bdubs I remember him from attack on the B-Team before I found out about the others.
I searched up some dates, like the start of HC season 7, HC season 8 and the life series overall to try and track the changes with major events - the only thing I learnt was my sense of time from COVID is so distorted
mmh, like light said. he was probably just watching videos and liking&adding videos to his now privated playlists. i wonder what young grian was watching.
The weird audio is a TH-cam in-built anti-copyright system you can enable on your videos, which does what it can to remove copyrighted audio while keeping in any non-copyrighted audio.
As someone who only recently became a fan of these guys, I'm very curious about Lizzie's success because I wasn't there when they started getting really popular and only know her from short term SMPs like the life series and empires.
Lizzie, Joel, Etho we’re all OG creators. Their best content was actually crazy craft, Joel’s husband and wife series, and ethos long term survival world. Their content I believe drove all the other creators.
I've always been aware of Lizzie bc of Race to the Moon but i had no idea her channel was as large as it was. I also had no idea Joel had been around so long, I thought he started getting big around 2016 for some reason.
as someone who has grew up watching lizzie and joel (since i was about 6) i never really knew how popular other youtubers were back then. i do now since ive started watching different series like hermitcraft (due to joel joining) and watching different perspectives of people in life series such a jimmy. im now a big jimmy fan
man i love skizz. i personally believe that if he had the ability to allocate more of his time to his creator job that he’d be way higher up. maybe one day..but in the meantime i’ll take all the skizz content i can get!!
I vividely remember watching some of Tango's videos in 2014. Building his classic iron farms. Which looked gigantic back then. I remember him commenting on how he felt he was late entering the minecraft community... Feels like yesterday.
See here i was thinking lizzie was a proper old school Minecraft youtuber. Its odd, ive always categorised her into the same camp as stampy. Don't know why. I dont do it with anyone else except for BigB, but i think he was close to stampys sister.
I remember in like 2017 i was a huge fan of unspeakable and i saw a video of him donating to small streamers and he donated like 100 dollars to you for you to change your background. Like a week ago that same video got recommended to me like 6 years later and i thought it was really funny how one of the TH-camrs i used to watch all the time donated to a TH-camr who i now watch all the time
Skizz is in the same mode all beginning creators start out doing start off small and all of a sudden you find you viewership and it takes off! Skizz will skyrocket as he and many of the others are awesome TH-camrs
I got into hermitcraft and just minecraft in general through hololive (vtubers). The endless interactions and creative shenanigans made me want to start my own world and then through there I got into Technoblade and eventually came back to hermitcraft. The Minecraft channels feel so interconnected through collabs, servers, and whatnot and it's great. Found Solidarity through Grian in particular. Don't watch regulary but the odd video popping up on my feed gives me a chuckle. Keep up the good work. Love your energy
Try 2020. In 2019, barely anybody even heard of Covid until near the end of the year, and it wasn't very widespread yet. All the lockdowns started around March of 2020.
I’ve never really started watching Lizzie until around empires season 1, and a little while after that I got into Joel and the rest is history Also it surprises me how old Joel and Ethos channels are, jeez. Real veterans.
I knew Lizzie because of collabs with Staceyplays (who I never watched but my friends did), but I didn't know any of the others until 2020 or so, when I started watching Grian in Hermitcraft (which eventually led to me watching Mumbo, Scott and a few others). I was always a Popularmmos kid, though I also watched Ssundee (who collabed with CaptainSparklez and MrCrainer) and a but of PrestonPlayz.
i think 2019 was the grian vs mumbo era. also, 2019 was when minecraft became popular again i think. and people might have looked up for red stone ideas. and thus mumbo gets so much sub suddenly.

In 2019 there was a string of Grian/Mumbo collabs, and their fanbase basically merged into one. Thats why they both about doubled.
Yeah, and those were mostly started because Grian actually joined Hermitcraft in 2019! This let them do more collabs like that, and actually started quite a few that they never would have done.
I knew of Grian from their first collab, but really got to know how he works with Hermitcraft
In addition to the collabs, Grian also joined Hermitcraft in mid 2018 (July) with the start of Season 6, which ran right through all of 2019 and into Feb 2020.

Lizzie was definitely the first i started watcing out of everyone here, then joel and grian shortly after. Grian i actually discovered through Samgladiator if anyone remmebers those collabs
I’ve been watching Lizzie for so many years, she is still my favorite TH-camr, and I completely forgot about Samgladiator, you just unlocked a so many memories
Omg I completely forgot they collabed! You unlocked a memory I forgot I had!
I only found out about Hermitcraft when Etho joined, and the rest of you all from the life series. Colabs have massive influence on audience migration. I suspect that Mindcrack, Hermitcraft, etc. have caused massive subscriber count increase overall.
Literally have been watching Lizzie for almost 10 years. And Joel for 7 ish years. I am so happy at how far they have come!
Mumbo gaining almost a million subs while being on break is a feat in its own.
Been with Etho since the start, pretty much. Joined Bdubs when I saw his arena on Mindcrack through Etho. Somehow found Martyn before he joined the Yogscast. And I remember being subbed to Lizzy somewhere at some point for some reason, but I had absolutely NO idea she was a giant. Meaning it must ave been before she blew up.
I found mindcrack through sethbling which brought me to etho / bdubs and eventually hermitcraft
Can we appreciate how consistent BigB was, staying in the top 7 the whole time and never dropping down
as someone whose first language isnt english and only started watching english videos like 3 years ago its so interesting too see creators like etho, martyn, lizzy etc. were such big creators in like 2015 because i had literally NEVER heard of any of them before the life series
Can we all agree that all of these people should be over a million. What I think needs to happen is Skiz needs to do more collabs with other people other than Impulse and Tango. He's such a nice guy lets get him on collabs with some of the other really popular people for the exposure.
Timmy, you are a Legend also! Life Series got me watching all your vids too, keep it up. (To be fair though Grian is my favorite, but you should mess with him more.)
Honestly props to Lizzie, she reigned over them for a while
PearlescentMoon and ZombieCleo are sooo underrated. They both produce such amazing videos.
Fun Fact! In 2018 Lizzie was the UK top female TH-cam gamer and was second most watched female younger as well!
I think that the massive boost in subscribers in 2019 is mostly linked to the beginning of PewDiePie's let's play which made a huge impact in viewership and subscribers for a lot of content creators.
It had a very huge decrease in popularity, his arrival definitly boosted the viewership and recommendations for minecraft youtubers. There's a lot of videos about this subject, i suggest you should inform yourself :) @@christianseibold3369
The popularity of Minecraft YT content overall definitely has ebbed and flowed over time, but the BIG resurgence (aka Minecraft Renaissance) in MCYT popularity in 2019 had multiple contributing factors: there was a general rise in interest and content made for "nostalgia games", which probably led to and then was bolstered by PewDiePie starting his Minecraft Let'sPlay. Grian had joined Hermitcraft midway through 2018 and the season 6 Civil War/Prank War happened mid 2019, which was very popular and generated a ton of collaboration content, which tends to increase subscribers as fans are introduced to new creators. We also had Philza dying in his Hardcore world, which went viral and hit the mainstream news, and SMP Live and Minecraft Mondays increased popularity/diversity of livestreamed Minecraft content. At the end of 2019, Minecraft Championship came in as MCM died and introduced different spheres of MC fans to each other by including a variety of gametypes that required different skills and deliberately teaming creators with different backgrounds (PVP, speed running, parkour, building, SMPs) together. Again, crossover/collab content is great for viewers to find new creators and new styles of content to enjoy (and subscribe to).
...And then, following this reemergence of Minecraft popularity, 2020 and lockdown hit and all online content got a big boost, most notably the DSMP got crazy popular and lots of press attention; I think all Minecraft SMPs (including Hermitcraft, Empires/XLife) got an extra boost in interest there, with a secondary boost hitting especially the largest ones when the DSMP ended and its fans looked for replacement content.
@@christianseibold3369it is 100% fact that pewdiepies Minecraft series created a Minecraft resurgence in 2019, there is no way u can deny it
@@christianseibold3369Why do you come off as so hostile to simple facts?
My guess is it might have something to do with the pandemic...
No wonder Mumbo and Grian are so close, they've been side by side in the sub counts ever since Grian popped off (might have the cause and effect wrong there, but you know, can't tell that from the stats alone :D )
I've been a Geminitay fan since 2018 and I had forgotten how few subscribers she had then in comparison to now.
Mumbo got me into watching Minecraft content starting in Hermitcraft Season 6. Got hooked and needing more content, watched his Season 5. (now occasionally working on his beginning in Season 2). Over the years and following seasons, I've added many more Hermits to the schedule, following dilligently.
The Empires crossover was such an amazing experience, and it made me add Jimmy to the list. What a guy!
(also, I'm just glad to see Pearl get going in the graph after such a long time. She's wonderful)
2018 -2019 Mumbo and Grian explosion is likely due to him and mumbo doing A LOT OF collabs and Grian joined hermitcraft. You can see all hermits getting boost from this.
I will say, another part of this graph that's inaccurate is that technically Martyn is first, as his Aka Martyn channel was made on the 8th of April 2008, before Ethos channel was made. It does make the graph weirder that way, since Martyn has far more subscribers on his regular InTheLittleWood channel, and that channel is/was his main channel, but I figured I should say it for accuracies sake
Hey, the new facecam placement and setup right here looks great! First time seeing content after your move, I haven’t caught up on secret life yet, there’s so much to watch! Bdubs episodes have been an hour length most of the time lol!! Anyway, looks fantastic!
I can't believe how little subs people like pearl have considering how long they've been around with the rest of you
And Skizz.
"You'll be able to see when my shorts blew up" - sounds uncomfortable, I'm glad you got through that!
I knew Lizzie was one of the older, more beloved creators simply due to people talking about her but I never realised how big she was (that kinda cam out wrong)
As someone who used to watch pho3nix and his murder mystery videos im happy to see that bigB is still making content
I got such a shock when I saw him in the life series because the murder mystery crew were my OG TH-cam group
Mumbo is just iconic. First hermit to hit 10 mil confirmed.
Etho first to 1m back when 1m was somewhat rare. But never in a 100 years will he reach 10m
yeah etho is just timeless though@@426shelby426
@@426shelby426 the algorithm isnt pushing etho for some reason
It is funny that this video popped up on my homepage today because yesterday was the first day that I realized that Mumbo is the largest channel I'm subscribed to and it isn't even close. There are some channels in my subscriptions that I thought were way bigger and they're just puny in comparison.
Also, it is interesting to see what happened in 2019 when they decriminalized subscribing to Mumbo or Grian without subscribing to both. It used to be a felony punishable by death penalty. Now it's just frowned upon.
i have an interesting observation (perspective from a person who literally discovered english speaking minecraft youtubers and life series this summer lol) that people usually split up into two categories:
1) those who mainly watched mumbo and grian, almost didn’t heard about lizzie, were surprised to find out she is so popular
2) those who mainly watched lizzie, almost didn’t heard about mumbo/grian/hermitcraft, most of the time found out about them through the life series with lizzie
secret third option: og who have been mainly watching etho/joel
and i think that maybe this phenomenon occurs due to them specializing on different kinds of minecraft youtube content? i don’t know though lol i didn’t watch their really old videos and i wasn’t there to compare them and make a proofed conclusion
I actually remember Lizzy from back when she did the moon race with stampy and squid, and for Bdubs I remember him from attack on the B-Team before I found out about the others.
Lizzie was my childhood I was so glad to see her grow!
I think its Insane with Ethos Subcount. Half his Subs are watching him for 10y and he is still growing, showing he still gets net positiv viewcounts.
I searched up some dates, like the start of HC season 7, HC season 8 and the life series overall to try and track the changes with major events - the only thing I learnt was my sense of time from COVID is so distorted
I literally found Lizzie shopping for sailor Moon merch way back when, like 2010's 😅😅
This is how I learned I wasn’t subbed to Skizz and that I needed to remedy that
Anybody notice that Grian had no subs for like half of the video
Its probably because that's when he created his account, though he probably didn't start making videos then
mmh, like light said. he was probably just watching videos and liking&adding videos to his now privated playlists. i wonder what young grian was watching.
I love Jimmy's Jump, it looks so funny to just see him go ZOOM
Still rewatched a lot of lizzie content during the times she wasn't able to post as much, like 2018-. She is still my fave ❤
did anyone elses audio go weird near the end?
yup
100%
The weird audio is a TH-cam in-built anti-copyright system you can enable on your videos, which does what it can to remove copyrighted audio while keeping in any non-copyrighted audio.
hahahaha, don't worry Tim. I like watching graphs too.
Really loved this evolving graph on all of my favourite MC youtubers, Jim. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for this.
As someone who only recently became a fan of these guys, I'm very curious about Lizzie's success because I wasn't there when they started getting really popular and only know her from short term SMPs like the life series and empires.
Same here
There's a very good video that explains her journey through youtube, it's call: How LdShadowlady changed Minecraft forever
Crazy craft (you might know this now)
I watched the chart the other day and thought "Solidarity should react to this" and here he did it. Lmao.
I was born in 2008 and so I didn’t learn about these people until about like 2018ish but I love them all and love their team servers!
Lizzie, Joel, Etho we’re all OG creators. Their best content was actually crazy craft, Joel’s husband and wife series, and ethos long term survival world. Their content I believe drove all the other creators.
Pearl is so relatable, sticks around with a bunch of friends subbing hehe
I've always been aware of Lizzie bc of Race to the Moon but i had no idea her channel was as large as it was. I also had no idea Joel had been around so long, I thought he started getting big around 2016 for some reason.
Never in my wildest dreams I thought I would see such a thrilling commentary on a subcribers graph video.
2008-2009: Joel 1st, Etho 2nd
2010: Joel 1st, BigB 2nd, Etho 3rd
2011: Joel 1st, Etho 2nd, BigB 3rd
2012: Etho 1st, Joel 2nd, Martyn 3rd
2013-2015: Etho 1st, Martyn 2nd, Bdubs 3rd
2016: Lizzie 1st, Etho 2nd, Martyn 3rd
2017: Lizzie 1st, Etho 2nd, Mumbo 3rd
2018-2019: Lizzie 1st, Mumbo 2nd, Grian 3rd
2020-2024: Mumbo 1st, Grian 2nd, Lizzie 3rd
yeah 2k19 was grians first hermitcraft series, and the grian and mumbo shenanigans were loved by everyone
Watching big Bs subs quadruple in 1 year when he did his pixelgun start is crazy
can't believe people didn't know Lizzie was one of the OGs lol, alongside Etho and Captainsparklez etc. :P
I found out about grian through samgladiator back in like 2015 although pretty sure their friendship is non existent anymore
I can't believe TinyHeinz had 100,000 + subs in 2010, that's actually impressive
as someone who has grew up watching lizzie and joel (since i was about 6) i never really knew how popular other youtubers were back then. i do now since ive started watching different series like hermitcraft (due to joel joining) and watching different perspectives of people in life series such a jimmy. im now a big jimmy fan
man i love skizz. i personally believe that if he had the ability to allocate more of his time to his creator job that he’d be way higher up. maybe one day..but in the meantime i’ll take all the skizz content i can get!!
I vividely remember watching some of Tango's videos in 2014. Building his classic iron farms. Which looked gigantic back then. I remember him commenting on how he felt he was late entering the minecraft community... Feels like yesterday.
See here i was thinking lizzie was a proper old school Minecraft youtuber. Its odd, ive always categorised her into the same camp as stampy. Don't know why. I dont do it with anyone else except for BigB, but i think he was close to stampys sister.
Jimmy ‘what happened in 2019’
THE PANDEMIC YOU DOLL!!
Joel still maintains a high sub count, even though he sky rocketed the beginning
100k in 2010.. just impressive
there is nothing to be ashamed about liking to watch graphs. they can be surprisingly satisfying to watch, like this one
Lizzie is literally a queen 👑
Mumbo and Grian were really going back and forth for some time and I think they still are
I remember in like 2017 i was a huge fan of unspeakable and i saw a video of him donating to small streamers and he donated like 100 dollars to you for you to change your background.
Like a week ago that same video got recommended to me like 6 years later and i thought it was really funny how one of the TH-camrs i used to watch all the time donated to a TH-camr who i now watch all the time
Skizz deserves soo much more!!
Poor Skizz We need to get him above 100k subs come on guys lets do it
Skizz is in the same mode all beginning creators start out doing start off small and all of a sudden you find you viewership and it takes off! Skizz will skyrocket as he and many of the others are awesome TH-camrs
2019 was Hermitcraft 6 and when Mumbo and Grian collabed a lot together! I remember watching them reach their 5 and 6 millions both neck and neck
I got into hermitcraft and just minecraft in general through hololive (vtubers). The endless interactions and creative shenanigans made me want to start my own world and then through there I got into Technoblade and eventually came back to hermitcraft. The Minecraft channels feel so interconnected through collabs, servers, and whatnot and it's great. Found Solidarity through Grian in particular. Don't watch regulary but the odd video popping up on my feed gives me a chuckle. Keep up the good work. Love your energy
what happened in 2019? --Covid happened xD everyone was home and bored. That's what happened
Try 2020. In 2019, barely anybody even heard of Covid until near the end of the year, and it wasn't very widespread yet. All the lockdowns started around March of 2020.
I’ve never really started watching Lizzie until around empires season 1, and a little while after that I got into Joel and the rest is history
Also it surprises me how old Joel and Ethos channels are, jeez. Real veterans.
I knew Lizzie because of collabs with Staceyplays (who I never watched but my friends did), but I didn't know any of the others until 2020 or so, when I started watching Grian in Hermitcraft (which eventually led to me watching Mumbo, Scott and a few others). I was always a Popularmmos kid, though I also watched Ssundee (who collabed with CaptainSparklez and MrCrainer) and a but of PrestonPlayz.
This video is great when muted!
i think 2019 was the grian vs mumbo era. also, 2019 was when minecraft became popular again i think. and people might have looked up for red stone ideas. and thus mumbo gets so much sub suddenly.
Damn the jumps are insaneeeeee!
Lizzie paused when she and joel got married, the OG’s
Why was this so intense 😂
Also glad I was able to find other minecrafters like you, Grian and the others!
