I think there are a lot of creepypastas on here that are pretty horrid, either plot wise or detail wise or both, but for some reason or another people seem to really love Jeff the Killer, so I guess it all comes down to popularity. I don't think there's one person in the Creepypasta world that doesn't know Jeff the Killer or Eyeless Jack, and I guess because that's the case the pastas are kept. And it makes sense in a way. There are plenty of things in general that are low quality but highly popular. It's just how things work these days.
