I mean I kind of get what you're saying. The genre has grown into something different from how it started, I think lost media in some form has always been a thing just not very popular necessarily. Then one day Creepypastas crossed over into the genre and they became inseparably entangled. Sewer slide mouse, I feel fantastic, candle cove, polybius, the list goes on. The genre exploded and brought with it a lot of attention towards actual lost media. I think when people discovered that a lot of these projects were fake or very easy to find a lot of people wanted a real Challenge and started actually trying to find lost media. And now I feel like we're getting to a point where we're starting to get over saturated with this stuff. But on the flip side, a lot of really cool Mysteries that have been solved by the community. I even have one myself.

Moma kay (supposedly aka katherine marion) was a Canadian mom that fed her kid weird vegan health food. And that's about all I actually remember, even the name I had forgotten for a while. I had found her page when I was a kid in the early 2000s. I can't find a single article or anything talking about her at all at this point, but I did get some replies on a YouTube video where people actually remembered her and that's where I got the name from. Someone also said that some YouTubers used to cover her but I can't find any of those videos now. I literally can't find anything about her because her name is also the name of a pop star now? Maybe she is the pop star? I'm not sure, but I'm just happy that I'm not crazy and that someone else remembers her.
