It’s what it is. In some ways, the quality standards and blacklisted subjects here may have been partially responsible for this, as some younger writers might be intimidated to try and get their work accepted. As for the narrators, I think a big reason they tend to stick with nosleep-esque stories is a simple numbers game. Just looking at some of those larger names you mentioned, for whatever reason “true” stories tend to get way more hits (and this generate way more revenue for the channel) than the more horror-fiction type stories we tend to frequent here. Combine that with narrators trying to release as much content as possible, and the pressure to make sure it is all ‘new’ (I’ve had narrators not want to narrate stories of mine because someone else already did them, even though the video may have only had a couple hundred or thousand hits) and NoSleep has a much larger utility for them. Agree it would be nice if they’d take a longer look at the PotM stories though.
