The Evolution Of The Yogscast - Why they're still successful

Founded in 2008 by Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane as a channel dedicated to 'World of Warcraft' - the Yogscast quickly became a YouTube juggernaut that would go on to revolutionise Minecraft lets plays with their 'Shadow of Israphel' series. SoI was unlike anything on YouTube and quickly became a massive success that would influence a lot of future YouTubers and Minecraft content creators. But as the years went on and Yogs/YouTube changed, the Yogscast's popularity began to dwindle. This led to many people thinking the Yogscast had a downfall, but is that really true?
