>you'd constantly get really good stories and ARGs.
This is nostalgia speaking. Most creepypastas were awful, we just didn't know any better as kids.
>The internet felt bigger
The internet was much smaller, but much less controlled than it is now. Common search engines actually worked and sites weren't under a stranglehold by shit loads if algorithms trying to fry your brain.
However, I bet 12 year old kid who hasn't had his brain fried - because of being on a tablet all day for his whole life, can probably still pick up a computer and feel the wonder of the internet.
You don't feel that anymore because you grew up.
>Are people just way more cynic nowadays and don't entertain/play along with anything?
This is the main issue. The 12 year old kid I gave as an example above assumes that the kid hasn't had his brain friend.
The problem is that most kids nowadays get to 10-12 years old and they already have seen everything there is to see. A creepypasta or ARG is a joke. The real world is much darker.
Kids and young teens are way more skeptical now than they were in 2010. The world in general is a more cynical and dark place than in 2010.
