Abandonado has circulated online as a short Spanish reaction clip rather than as a line tied to a widely documented film, show, or song, so its appeal comes from the word itself. Spanish-speaking meme and short-form video communities use single-word reactions like this because they are instantly understood even without subtitles. The clip's brief length and plain delivery make it easy to reuse across edits, and that portability has kept it in rotation as a shorthand for being ditched, ignored, or left out.
