The fact is, creepypastas have become more popular over the past several years, as you've mentioned. Because of this, more and more creepypasta authors are coming out of the woodworks and publishing their works... the vast majority of which, like the VAST majority of fanfics, are utterly terrible (don't deny it). If there's any sensation of creepypastas becoming more trite or outdated or something that people don't take seriously, I think it's because the minority of quality works are being drowned out by the masses, which is just an inevitable result of creepypastas (or anything, for that matter) gaining popularity.
