I've thought about one and it just seems completely unrelatable. Basically, the plot of the creepypasta mainly has to do with some person getting into a certain fad of Youtube videos. He keeps at the videos for months and eventually the videos make the news. The video website that he uses ends up censoring the videos that surrounds his obsession. He does find the videos by digging deeper into the website and decides to make his own video. The videos were actually automatically uploaded to the site and involve the person either hurting themselves or committing suicide. The videos were labeled SuiVids (Suicide Videos).

Why it doesn't work?

How can a video just automatically upload onto someone's channel when the person dies in the video?

Why would anyone upload a video like that?

What happens to the people that actually survive SuiVids?

Why didn't the site automatically ban the videos from being uploaded?

How did the news find out about it?

Anyways, I gave my example. What ideas do you think are too stupid to make it as creepypastas? So, kind of like the movie Untraceable?

It could work. What kind havoc is his addiction causing in his real life? Is he losing weight? Seeing or hearing things? Smelling things? Can you discribe how bad his obession is? Is he cutting himself off from other people and isolating himself? Missing work or school?

Maybe someone is concerned about his obession and tries to stop him and he does something not so nice to them?

It can work. It's horror... Maybe there's some sort of curse on these videos? Who ever watches them feels the need to create their own suicide video but must find another person's video first? They post the other person's video and then make their own and the circle continues. Maybe a demon is encouraging people to develop these obsessions? Whispering in their ears?

Maybe, clicking on the link of the video causes a virus that only releases once a suicide video is made? It doesn't do anything but access the user's youtube account and posts the video.

Maybe, there's someone behind it all?

I honestly can't think of a bad example. You can make anything terrifying with the right phrasing and words.
