DEEP DIVE

Similar to chain letters and emails, copypasta is information that spreads from person to person through digital replication. Oftentimes, the information in a copypasta is not reliable and may be a part of a misinformation hoax or scam. Copypasta can also be a way in which stories are posted to different online forums. A genre called creepypasta is scary stories and spooky urban legends that are copied and pasted online.

R/Copypasta is a subreddit dedicated to archiving various copypastas from around the web.
