Hypothesis: Most of these fics are big multi-chaptered things. Multi-chaptered things are going to draw more people than one-shots do, simply by coming up to the top of the page more. The authors tend to update relatively frequently too because it's easier to write bad stuff fast than good stuff fast. Then people start reccing it (especially if it's for a popular pairing), and it gets more hits.

Eventually it gets popular enough so a large chunk of the fandom will at least have heard of it, so more people check it out. It comes up on popular fic searches so more people and new people check it out. From there, feedback loop.

Frequently these fics would be of the 'it's not that bad for a while but oh god it goes downhill so fast' type too.

that makes sense... I'm pretty sure I just saw that in action recently. A fic goes up, it looks interesting so I try reading it, I think it sucks, but the author updates fast and there are like a billion chapters so everyone reads it, recs it, comments on it, etc.

And I'm left feeling like I've been taking crazy pills or something.
