It was simply more effective when it wasn't overdone. And with the internet not quite what it is now

There's a reason Blair witch was part of the zeitgeist in a way that no other found footage flick has since

Even the first Paranormal Activity was a massive success, and it still didn't come close to the impact Blair Witch Project had on pop culture

When people say overdone...outside of experiments like Cloverfield, most of the style is relegated to cheap horror films. Seems an unfair way to condemn the style for it's oversaturation in one specific cheap genre.
