    So yeah.

    one of them are the creepypastas, like sonic.exe, Tails Doll Curse, Slenderman, sally.exe, MARIO, you get it. People have made games based on them because they're so creepy and popular. How did this happen? It's unexplainable. I think that one guy that was popular viewed it and then the others followed.

    The other one: Youtube. How the heck did this get popular? It was I think a video dating website, but then quickly changed to a video streaming website. How? Unexplainable, and not the one guy popular method.

    If you have any others, feel free to put them down.

    Well, creepypasta just appeal to me. The two creepypastas I do not like, are:

    Gaming two creepypastas I hate:
    Super Mario 64 Damned. (The pictures scare the shit out of me, not the story.)
    Tails Doll Curse. (Again, the pictures, not the story.)

    Non gaming two creepypastas I hate:
    Jeff the Killer. People are overreacting to this one and it is not as scary as so many people think.
    Robert the Doll. Need I say anything? Read it.

    Creepypastas:
    I think that creepypastas are popular because...they're kind of dark and twisted and give you a scare and that appeals to a lot of people

    Youtube:
    Basically
    You can watch anything you want....mostly as long as it passes the Youtube standards
    It's popular because it's become more than a music hub...it has been molded into a new website that holds many types of fans and music styles and genres and games and crap...so it pleases a lot of different types of people.

    Not too knowledgeable in creepy pasta

    YouTube on the other hand was only due to it being a medium for finding and sharing videos, not necessarily for any type of video.

    Creepypasta: Is a fan made site where they make stories out of pure fiction and imagination or based on real events.

    Youtube: A popular site ATM. I remember when I was 6 and first started watching Youtube. The popular guys before are now the people with only like 3m subs now. Youtube was known for it's unique context and capability. At first they never thought that Youtube would get this popular for, it was intended originally just for fun and to post random stuff, while now it is used for almost everything.

    Tails Doll pics are kinda creepy at first, but then you get used to it, like Sonic.exe.

    every time I see a red light my first thought is "lol I remember when I was scared of tails doll"
    am I weird for locking my windows before i go to bed? ;-;
    and I swear to god I see ghosts in my house sometimes

    most creepypastas (Ben drowned, tails doll, slenderman, etc) don't scare me anymore. however Jeff the Killer haunts me ever since I saw him...
    thankfully I don't know what he looks like anymore, the picture left my head.
