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.

I'm not sure if actual datamoshing was used, but I always enjoyed the effect in Mastodon's (the band) Oblivion music video.

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 gli…

At least the comment is correct: "It's used to add a touch of psychedelic flair to your shots or to hide the fact that you accidentally deleted half of your footage."
