I don't like ritual pastas because in general either they are real rituals such as Hide And Seek alone and I do not advocate encouraging people to try them, or they're obviously fake and stupid.

I don't have anything against "true scary stories" but for a while it seemed like every freaking narrator was doing them. A lot of them. They'd do five-hour compilations of true scary stories and r/letsnotmeet. And I...I just don't get it. I don't get how five hours of two paragraph stories about coming home from vacation to find that your house was broken into can get so many views. Don't get me wrong, I actually really like those stories in small dosages, but I don't get how they became such a staple for channels to the point that they started neglecting other content.

I also don't hate NoSleep in principle, it's more just the fact that the stories that get popular there can be baffling.

For example, this is one of the most popular stories on NoSleep. It's cancer. It was uploaded on this wiki and I marked it for review only because I didn't know if it was okay to mark such a well-known pasta for deletion. But objectively speaking if it didn't originate on Reddit I'm pretty sure everyone would have recognized that it didn't meet our QS.
