That, and, unlike Jeff the Killer, a lot of the imitators that came after Squidward's Suicide were better than it. Not a whole lot better, in many cases, but overall the trend was toward improvement in lost episode stories and television pastas. There were also a lot of worse ripoffs, but the point is, the bar didn't keep getting lower and lower.

Whereas Jeff the Killer started off irredeemable, came from the OC genre which predated creepypasta and in my opinion is also irredeemable, and just spawned constant ripoffs that somehow kept getting worse and worse and still do to this day.
