nosleep got so bad the past few years :marseysulk:

got ready to catch up on a few years of nosleep, sorted by top, literally none of these are scary, nor are they even well written. i stopped reading them in probably 2016-2017 when all the hottest stories started boiling down to "bigotry was the real monster all along" "big bad evil guy does a heckin wholesome" or just weird, impotent revenge fantasies you can tell are written about the author's bully

the top post of the last few years is https://old.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/wqnymn which is just a stupid shallow reddit bait about a cheater but even sillier than usual :marseytabletired2: main character's wife when her husband gets drunk and chips part of his brain out in front of her :marseyclueless:

are there any the past few years that don't suck butt? i used to stay up all night scared shitless over these, the bar is low, i can't believe nosleep has somehow gotten so bad they can't even scare me

This one is pretty good

The reason modern creepypastas suck is because people with no talent vastly outnumber the good writers and see it as an easy ticket to fame and the good brain chemicals from people praising them for writing it. But because they're talentless they don't understand what makes a good story is the human element, so instead they attempt to shock with the most lurid details they can come up with.

It's just like holocaust memoirs.

That video is incredible

Also I bet the tiktok/youtube channels where they just read reddit posts probably don't help, since it seems like a lot of authors (even on 'real' subs like TIFU) write specifically to end up on them. Getting featured on one of those channels seems kinda like getting featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives... brings a lot of eyes to your work but indicates something about the quality of it
