I dunno. It sure started out creepy, but after a while it just felt overwrought. that whole theme of "Do this thing. The experience will be awful. If you are unlucky or do anything wrong, you will die horribly and/or go mad. If you do everything exactly right and are lucky, you will help iterate the world itself to an unspeakable end." just gets a little old after a while. Why would anyone actually pursue this? Why would anyone write advice bits to help them do this?
Also, why would having it be 4chan make things any creepier?
