Their entire bit was being bad at video games while sharing their shitty opinions for 10 minutes at a time, then you had to wait a day for the next video in the series if there was one

They were already popular individually. Egoraptor used to make the awesome series on Newgrounds and made other flash animations.
JonTron was apparently popular off on Screwattack or something because I first saw one of his YT vids when he only had about 400 subs and he took off pretty fast thanks to a lot of people already being familiar with him.
Both of them came across as people who knew what they were on about when it came to video games. Glue that together and that's a big headstart on a lot of other video game channels.

It was creators who were already popular and who individually had good followings collaborating. And it pumped out content consistently. So naturally it did well.

Didn't it start when those type of videos were popular? Also Egorapter and JonTron we're already popular.

They were funny until around 2018-2019 when they got a bit stale.

I'm not talking about the Game grumps, I'm talking about Egoraptor back when he was parodying games/fighting OOT fans in that sequelitis video and Jontron back when he was making over the top reviews and countdowns.

When we finally got to see these guys play video games as the Game Grumps, all the expectations dissipated quickly.

I can't watch new Grumps videos anymore, because there have been a few too many changes to it for my tastes, but I really enjoy the conversations Dan and Arin have and (most of) the jokes and bits they put out.

They're just like every other channel on YouTube. Appeals to some, doesn't to others, neutral/unknown for most.

The standards for content creation were hilariously low back then, and nowadays these old channels/sites just coast on inertia

Please remember that Fred Figglehorn was the first 1 million subscriber youtube channel.

Jon was awful at banter and worse at improvising jokes. Half of what he did was make dumb noises and the other half was trying to force memes.
