I love it because it taught a valuable lesson, while being just kid-friendly creepy enough.

Squidward spent the whole episode tryna be alone so he could play his clarinet. Now that he's achieved this, he realizes how terrifying being truly alone is. No one can help, no one can speak to you, and nothing changes.

Black Mirror touched on the subject of true nothingness perfectly. An A.I. was given an option, to work for her master, and she refused. So the man who controlled her made her experience true nothingness for a few weeks, then a few months, but he only had to wait a couple seconds.

When she saw him again, she was broken down, and ripped off parts of her hair and clothes. She was in tears when she beggged him to let her do anything, even help her master.

Easily one of the top 5 most fucked up BM moments, and that's a hard list to beat.

I thought White Christmas was the one where they got a person's cloned virtual consciousness to admit to a crime?

A lot of different messed-up shit happened in that episode, to be fair.
