Its significance is why it's in the Historical Archive and hasn't been taken down. But....Jeff the Killer started the genre of "Person goes on a murderous spree and harms himself after being bullied" and it got taken down. Yeah, it's kind of strange that the terrible story started a trend, same with Slenderman but it's not much of a creepypasta, it's more of a meme, causing many ARGs and web series' to be made.
