some youtubers have this thing where they cut to a split second of static and it's so funny because it simply does not work in streaming video. it turns out randomness doesn't compress well and all the viewer gets is a tortured artifact of the idea of visual snow. a modern echo of a technological byproduct that now takes great effort to simulate (poorly)
