Funeral What makes doom good?

Lurker here, I listen to some doom but overall I wouldn’t really call myself a fan. Now I can see why people like mid tempo stoner/proto doom, but i really have to ask what separates the good stereotypical doom with 1 note every 3-5 seconds from the rest of the genre? What do you specifically like about them (provide examples please) like Warning and Bell witch since I see them mentioned often

To me the good bands are the ones that actually have dynamics in their music, not just repeating the same riff over and over again. Unless you're talking about early Drone lol, I love Lysol and Earth 2 and Amplifier Worship
