User blog comment:AB1997/Am I the only one who feels that the original charm of creepypasta was lost a long time ago?/@comment-5542146-20181024113801

I think its as simple as most of the people alive for the advent of creepypastas and internet urban legends in general were mere children/kids at the time. And the internet hadn't had time to really and truly find its place in the every day lives of everybody yet. But now most of those of us who were kids at the time are now grown up, and CPs and the internet in general have grown alongside us.
