All horror is like this though. It goes through a phase where what was new becomes a trendy fad and the mainstream sucks it bone dry and eventually people move on to something else.

>>27231Trendy youtube stuff is ok, what kills me is all the shitty lore that people added. Like, all the async stuff is fine, because it doesn't detract from the horror of the backrooms, but all the bullshit with the smilers and partygoers and whatnot is so irritating to me.

There's nothing new, everything turn to shit when a brilliant niche idea becomes mainstream. The Backrooms, SCP, every meme that come from the depth of 4chan and pretty much everything else get ruined when too many people try to hop on the hype train.

>>27596I feel like one of the reasons creepypasta died is simply because the target audience grew up. Most of the people who were into creepypasta a decade ago were either late millenials or early zoomers who are now between the ages of 20-30. There's that and the fact that datamining videogames in the 00's - early 10's wasn't as accessible as it is today unless you were into romhacking. Also good video editing wasn't common so hoaxes like Ben Drowned could easily fool a 12 year old. It's the same reason GTA myths were such a big thing in the early 2000's, people had a "this could be real" mindset.
