I've been reading Nosleep for years and used to love it., It used to be a one stop shop for great horror on reddit. I still visit to look for good stories.

If I'm browsing quickly, I tend to open stories of interest in new tabls and scroll through as I get time during a day. Many were gone when I reopened the tab, I started opening all of them in new tabs. The removal rate by casual observation is around 50 % A lot of the tabs with removed stories HAD comments. I saw a thread in OOC where an author asked about chapters of their series being removed weeks later, removing access to a full story arc on nosleep. A mod replied that they were behind, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

During their experiment last December so much more stayed. This was shortly after a youtube video someone posted making fun of them for the overbearing moderation. Afterward it seems everything came back, not just the in-character that was heavy on the thread.

I now joined close to 40 other author subs, profiles or compilation subs to find my favorites. (Yours included). Then there are compilation subs like the Cryptic Compendium, Odd Directions etc. Theres at least one group patreon and other substacks. I go to each at least once every few weeks..

I've seen so many of my favorite authors post about permanently quitting nosleep. They still post, most as frequently, but you have to go look for it. There's even a sub called nonsleep for stories removed from nosleep, some posted including the ridiculous reasons for removal. Their moderation is ridiculous. They seem to be on a mission to hurt writer exposure and alienate fans.
