How did the Youtube channels, FPS Russia and Epic Meal Time get over a million subs in less than a year.?

-I find these channels to be entertaining but I am stunned at the success of them. I also follow really good channels with good quality videos that have been on youtube since the beginning or for a very long time with less than 100,000 subs. So How do they do it. Anyone know?
