Insane, uncontrollable popularity. I don't know. Believability is a huge factor, in my opinion. Look at Polybius, The Russian Sleep Expirement, Fallout Numbers Station, etc. Those have thrived on believability. Sorta like how some people thought that The Blair Witch Project was real, these stories have people on the edge of their seats, scared for their lives. More often than not, anyway.
