Is the Japanese urban legend, Toire no Hanako-San, still popular? What’s the people’s opinion about her/the legend in general….?

I’m asking this one, because I’m not a native Japanese speaker or person, just somebody, who found out about the legend, and started to like it, for a reason. So much that she even decided to use Hanako-san as her virtual youtuber model, and self-interpretation,(as the 4th Hanako-san) because she felt that she can connect to the legend kinda deeply.

So yes. I was simply curious if people who might know it better than me, could tell me something about her which is not in articles, or just simply self-experience? I’m super curious.

I know that I’m weird, but I like Hanako-san really much. She became my comfort-ghost, or don’t even know, how to tell…..and I thought it would be cool to know more, because why not….?
