It isn't scary because the actual hack itself isn't very scary. The hack relies on the "nothing is scarier" trope, where nothing happens, and continues to not happen, though you always expect something horrible to pop up. And since the story of the hack is mostly implied, our imagination fills in the empty details with things that are much scarier than the hack itself. But it is a hack, and the hack itself can't scare us, so it isn't scary.

I have not read this 'pasta, but since it is just an account of someone's experience with the 'pasta, I don't think I have to really bother too... Though it does seem like events are described very cheesily.

The only truly frightening thing is the hidden image behind the hack, and the question, "Why did this person make this hack?" And judging from the whole, and I'll paraphrase, "they found the victim without eyes" thing, I'll just go with assumpting that the hack was made by a murdered/serial killer that went uncaught long enough to create this hack. Take that as you may.
