Follow sounds like this one come from streaming culture, where a short, recognisable alert helps a creator acknowledge new supporters without stopping the broadcast. Rather than a long song or spoken message, a brief notification cue fits between gameplay, commentary and chat, so it can play repeatedly without becoming distracting. Soundboards have made these alerts easy to reuse in edits, highlight reels and reaction videos, where the same cue signals a follow, a shout-out or a small milestone. Its appeal is practical: it is instant, repeatable and immediately understood by viewers who expect a sound when someone joins the community.
