Ah, okay, I see. So, again, from a business standpoint, they were trying to attract viewership by using Creepypasta and then hoping they kept some viewers in by using their own original stories later on. This is just conjecture on my part, but I find that a brilliant marketing move. The creators and writers of the show probably knew they couldn't make multiple episodes or seasons based on Creepypasta alone, so they'd branch out into their own stuff down the road but still make unique fans of the show instead of just relying on classic Creepypasta fans.

Oh, don't worry, as said before, I really have no desire to watch this show. And I hate to sound so cynical, but critics are also motivated by money. If they are aware that a show will be raking in tons of money, they give it good reviews in order to keep the gravy train rolling and they get a cut. Yes, of course, there's the likelihood that they genuinely enjoyed it, but I dunno. I guess I'm on the fence.

And, really? Wow. I'm kind of glad you spoiled it, actually. So, essentially, it took away the very factor that made the original Pasta so creepy, which was the enigma of "watching dead air",  by making some bully-slayer the creator of the show? That is so bland.
