User blog comment:Mirai Ender/Pasta extra: Can fans kill a good story?/@comment-5643552-20150313135534

In my honest opinion the best creepypastas are the ones that are relatively obscure. There are certainly some exceptions, but generally speaking the uber-popular/iconic pastas are the cancer killing creepypasta. This is at least partly due to the fact that they're popular for reasons that have nothing to do with quality, which attracts all the wrong kinds of people (e.g. edgy teens/pre-teens).
