It's more about "who originally created the content," not popularity. For example, if sandwichingaround uses these in their video, but it turns out they were actually originally modelled and recorded by user123, then user123 gets the credit. After all, sandwichingaround only used what already existed. If user123 modeled them and sandwichingaround was responsible for animating and recording the scene, then credits would be required for both. After all, at that point it's a collaborative effort for that final clip to exist. So, it's context-dependent on what was required for the pieces to exist.
