A few of the datamoshing examples (Sleazyworld Go, Duda Beat) are just normal vfx and not actually datamoshing.

Datamoshing is just reusing the motion tracking done by video codecs intended to provide compression in unintended ways.

Datamoshing is one effect that I don't think I'll ever process as an effect instead of an error (and as a result, I don't like it). My brain simply won't process it as "effect". I think it's from my history of downloading videos that had errors which produced the effect. Especially back in the slower less-reliable internet days, it was always soooo annoying to have spent hours downloading something only to have a glitch that caused the datamoshing effect. Plus, now all video I ever watch is digital, so I'm never totally sure that there wasn't a streaming issue or if it was intentional, unless it's being used heavily as an effect over and over and I see it enough in the same video to realize it's intentional.

Really like it but it feels very sluggish which I assume is due to the size of the content. Clicking on FPV Drone seems to result in 192 mb being fetched. Despite this, clicking on a thumbnail still takes time to fetch the full size. I don't know if a more optimised format would be enough or a TikTok layout would be better suited but it does impact the experience negatively. Love the project though.
