Their first video – “The Blender Challenge” – was uploaded the same year, and now has now been viewed over five million times. The two continued in the same fashion, uploading such videos as “What Are You Touching My Face With?”, “Speed Eating Impossible Food”, and “Life As Conjoined Twins”. The two were becoming rather popular in the YouTube community, and began collaborating with other YouTube celebrities. Brian Robbins, the founder of YouTube multi-channel network AwesomenessTV, a saw their meteoric rise to stardom, and signed them to his network in 2015.
Rise to Prominence
2016 was the turning point in their career – the two won the People’s Choice YouTuber Award and Choice Web Star at Teen Choice Awards, went on a world tour 4OU, and were a part of the Twitter ad campaign for the social network’s new stickers feature. They amassed a large following in a short time, reaching around 11 million subscribers by 2018 before they announced that they would go on hiatus. This only lasted from 27 March until 1 May 2018, and in June 2018, the two created The Sister Squad, with YouTube stars, James Charles and Emma Chamberlain.

Ft Emma Chamberlain and James Charles”, which has over 35 million views, then “Ethan Gets His Wisdom Teeth Removed!!”, over 27 million views, and “Haunted House ft. James Charles & Emma Chamberlain”, which has been viewed over 22 million times.
Unfortunately, since the death of their father, the twins were never the same again. Later that year, they uploaded an hour-long video entitled “It’s Time To Move On…”, in which they talked about how their father’s death affected them, and their intention to change the content and start focusing on other interests. They launched the podcast “Deeper With The Dolan Twins”, however, the death of their father and the change in them started to affect Grayson’s mental health, and in January 2021, the famous duo confirmed that they would no longer be making new YouTube content.
