User blog comment:CreepyStoryTeller/How are creepypastas popular?/@comment-4979122-20120402222921

Sometimes it's just because of the picture posted with it. "Jeff The Killer" is terribly written, and medically impossible...but the image that goes with it is scary as hell. But that isn't always the case, I suppose. I guess that unlike on Deviantart or youtube, Creepypasta popularity is pure coincidence...spread by word, not by quality.
