Skinwalker stories are semi-popular for "true scary stories" Youtube channels, but even then they are barely a blip on the radar. And video game pastas have been passe since at least 2015.

Also, I don't know if you've been on SCP Wiki recently, but their quality standards over there are like 200% higher than NoSleep and CP Wiki and the overwhelming majority of Keter objects are downvoted into deletion forthwith for being even slightly unoriginal or cliched.

Don't get me wrong there are still some decent content every once in a while but the quality has decreased and Classic creepypastas are few and far between nowadays. For the SCP wiki most of the new ones are this item/creature will kill you or make you insane! In the golden age of /x/ and some other sites, there would be threads full of fresh original creepypasta, creepy personal paranormal experiences, scary audio/video/images and weird occult rituals and doctrines. For me, for creepypasta to become a meme ruined the mystique of the content and degraded it with a new wave of rip-off writers clining to popular stories.
