you don't understand: they didn't talk to each other. sure, they did for Big Planned Things, but the vast, vast majority of episodes would only contain One Hermit, that being the guy making the episode. they might see another hermit on-camera but pre-prox chat that didn't mean they could like, talk without joining a skype call, and they often didn't (and even post-prox chat it actually takes a few months in for them to realize they could just... leave prox on and have random drive-by interactions as they may). it was really common in videos and streams to be like "damn. didn't know that was there? i guess someone's been busy? wild." or, just as often, "oh no i didn't know that was there, what if i'm not supposed to show the viewers, i should avoid accidentally learning more!"

and to be clear this was in part because the youtube "meta" was different then, right. like hermitcraft started as basically being a solo letsplay other people happened to build on and has marched steadily closer to being a place coworkers and maybe eventually friends hang from there. but i think in this season 11 world, where basically every hermitcraft video has a second hermit show up at some point, it's just... wild. they like. hang out with each other on purpose. server-wide storylines are not only now the norm but like, mostly don't have half the server ignoring them anymore. they hang out with each other on purpose.

no this actually explains it so well: "do you want me to do A Collab Episode" used to be a production. it was a rare event. A Collab was like, a specifically planned thing that a hermit would do rarely, and A Collab was also normally the only time they had someone with them.
