Its not that bad. I think the reason it had this much staying power as a meme is its pretty mellow compared to most early internet shock videos. All the NSFL things i saw on the other hand, some of that shit is truly fucked.
I’ve seen all kinds of shit, most of it when I was a teen, prolly about 14-15 and I’ve forgotten most of it
But the one video title I’ll never forget was a fair bit later, when we were watching vids on /r/watchpeopledie to kill time at work: “Unnecessarily slow beheading”. The title just felt like a joke about the very gruesome beheading.
If were already trauma dumping, i think we all have that one thats not even necessarily the worst but sticks with us the most. Id say this one for me was a bear attack victim i saw on reddit who im pretty sure even survived but it was still fucking horrid.

it’s just shocking enough to stay in your mind without making you numb to it
it’s not violent or gore-ish, your brain won’t block it for your own good. it’s just a niche kink
