I like it specifically for the sound at the end of videos, zero other reason.

It is the most precisely crafted, most horrifying sound in existence. There is nothing which could ever precede it that could be powerful enough not to be flattened by it into 'content' and subsumed utterly into a morass of (post-)^N^irony. The moment that sound plays, it smooths over anything: jokes, thirst traps, fascist propaganda, activewear ads, speeches that defined eras or concentration camp footage; it simply does not matter any longer and becomes nothing more than the last thing you watched, as your mind is reset to its receptive state to receive the next stimulus. It is the essence of 'scrolling' distilled so perfectly that even the vestigial act of scrolling is stripped away.

It is the sound of the human mind as it performs reification at the level of pure aesthetic, the thing than fills the screaming void where an Eldritch horror has not been perceived.
