Back in the early days of internet I remember so many creepypastas i enjoyed watching, why do people not make them anymore? they were really fun, I havent even seen a single one about bluey
>>151907788Internet horror took a turn around 2014
They do make them. I stopped reading them a long time ago because it got frustrating sifting through the garbage, but there are definitely creepypastas still being written.The weird specific sub genre of cartoon creepy pastas did probably dry up though. Which I personally don’t find surprising. The formula for those got really played out after the first big three. Nobody ever successfully hit on anyplace new to take it to keep it fresh. I’m positive that Bluey torture porn shit exists, but I get how that’s distinct from a Squidward’s Suicide style creepypasta. Maybe somebody out there is still writing cartoon creepypastas, but they’re probably buried under a bunch of stairs in the woods ripoffs or whatever creepy pasta sub genre is in right now.
I remember reading a creepypasta about a lost SpongeBob episode where mr krabs dresses up like a woman and bullies plankton into killing himself after he finds out he's scared of pearl. What do I do?

The best creepypasta to this day is “The Scariest Video Tape I Ever Watched”. Simple, mysterious and effective. Don’t get stuff like that anymore. Just kids media faggotry.

they moved on and make SCP now
>>151907788Social media sites like twitter and Instagram made the world more interconnected. Creepypastas work because some such can post an image or poorly written story and that gets reposted a couple dozen times and become removed from it's original creator, more being part of the greater canon of the Internet. In current year if John Smith writes a creepy story you can source it back to him in a few clicks. The internet despite being bigger now is much smaller than when we were younger.
>>151907788>old creepypasta>there's this government entity that has mysterious X-Files monsters locked away>if you play Pokemon Red at midnight, Blue hangs himself (also Mew is under a truck)>let's have a photoshop contest for the best horror image>new creepypasta>so basically there's this child mascot character and he's evil, and he chases you around a playground
>>151907788>Why did people stop making creepypastas?People are PUSSIES nowadays, that's why.
they were downgraded to analog shit
Analog horror is literally just Creepypasta but in video form instead of literary format >>151908616>downgradedSorry faggot but Vita Carnis and Greylock are objectively more impressive and ambitious than fucking Squidward's Suicide and Jeff the Killer. I think you're taking the soul vs. soulless meme too far here
People didn't stop making creepypastas, they just went out of style.This happened because internet preferences changed (short videos are now preferred), ideas became repetitive, YouTube stopped favoring that type of content, and horror evolved toward more realistic and visual formats.Today, creepypastas still exist, but in other formats such as videos, Reddit, analog horror, and ARGs.
>>151908635>I think you're taking the soul vs. soulless meme too far hereThere are some people on here that are really, really ass-mad that people like analog horror. It's like they saw one shitty, cheap knock-off of Mandela Catalog and presumed that representative of the genre 100%. There's one autistic sperg that will spam replies in a thread saying "Not /co/" even when people are discussing Angel Hare and The Painter of all things.You should also check out Angelica Midwest if you haven't. And the Shelter 54 (Godzilla Found Footage) video also.
>>151907788Because real life became more horrifying than any silly story you can imagine and in times like that people want humor not horror. inb4 someone guesses my politics, and guesses completely wrong Also creepypastas were always kinda throwaway shit people would come up with and post on a whim, yet usually gained a ton of fans of the tvtropes autist variety who treated them like they were deep masterpieces of horror when they’re really not.
>>151907788Too many normies on the internetEither cringing it up by lretending to be too into itby subverting it by treating it all as stupidOr worst of all by glooding the market eith their own attempts.My wife used to be rrally into creepypastas and indie horror stories read by some horror story podcasts. In the beginning they were well written and well produced but then they got popular and suddenly the quality took such a nose dive that just over hearing parts from her head phones would cause debilitating cringe attacks.There was this one where its all abkut kids playing the last level of sonic 2 and it goes into extreme detail about whats going on in the game, using all the names, and how they selected tails as the character instead of sonic, and it had nothing to do with anything and the whole horror aspect was just spooky foot steps approaching the door.I died. It was so cringe i died and am now posting from hell.
>>151908955>Too many normies on the internetKiwifarms was ignorable until normies became aware of "lolcows." Now everyone just has the be for the next loser to bully.The ability to post anything degen is lost when you know you might be the next big youtube video
>>151907788They didn't
>>151907788I know this is /co/ but I feel like Sonic.exe was the big turning point that made a lot of people start clowning on creepypastas
