  Here's another image so that you can compare it
  
  
  
  Actually that makes sense
  I haven't read the thing but I'm speculating it's because a computer's pixels don't have the color of vantablack?
  If I remember right, black means that the pixel is off, and you can't get a deeper off.
  But I learned this in 6th grade, so take what I say with a grain of salt and read the thing lol
  
  So, so far I'm seeing nervousness, indifference, and comfort.
  
  It's weird, even if I scroll past it super fast on my phone it still gives me knots.

  Yeah vantablack is a physical structure that doesn't allow any reflection.
  
  Most computer screens have bleed-over of colors where if you have any light element on the screen, even your cursor, you'll actually have some light emitting from the display. On top of the fact that with most computer screens, even if the display is completely turned to black where there's nothing to cause bleed-over, the screen will still be emitting light, just such a small amount that we've gotten used to that being "black" on our screen, even if it isn't actually that dark.
  
  With all that said, there are display technologies like OLED that allow an area of the screen or the whole thing to essentially emit no light at all, because all the light emitting components are turned completely off, and are so small that bleed-over is negligible or not present. But even with these displays, if there's any light source in the room with you, you'll get reflection. In fact, because of how those displays are built, they're notoriously reflective, so you have to completely blacken the room for it to even be worth getting a display like that.
  
  Vantablack is weird because it does not reflect, at all. Pretty much no matter how much light you throw at it, it stays pitch black, which because a display doesn't have something like that built in, displays can never replicate. You'll only ever see "normal" black on a screen, you can only ever see the weirdly impossible-looking black of Vantablack in real life.
  
  Given your reaction to normal black, I would definitely recommend to avoid ever seeing Vantablack in real life, because that will definitely freak you out. it freaks most people out, including people that get no anxiety at all from normal black.
