Maybe you're right. What a pity. I feel like there's not much more I can add than what's already been said. I think it's safe to say Creepypasta as we know it is pretty much dying out.

I see it as an art form that is evolving.

Some people say that Hollywood movies are dying and that they are all reboots, usually worse than the original. Yes, Hollywood has turned out quickly forgotten drivel in the last ten years. Yet, I can think of several really imaginative films that have come out. Two of my favorites were obscure little indie films made on tiny budgets.

The days of rebooting Jeff The Killer or spouting some meaningless ritual and getting the Creepypasta audience to buy it are over. It will flop, just as badly as the recent Ghostbusters reboot. To succeed in today's crowded creepypasta marketplace, you need to constantly improve.

Of course, what is a success in Creepypasta? It's not like I do this for money. It is an art form, a hobby. To me, a successful pasta is where it is the best story I can do at that time. If each story is a little better than the last, I am succeeding.
