Endcards/Credits

Endcards/credits (also known as outro) are for credits or when the YouTube endcards appear. This is typically at the end of a video.
It is not to be used for conclusions with information.
Exceptions / Edge Cases
- YouTube's overlaid annotations do not influence category type decision as they are arbitrarily placed particularly when the segment category is controversial.
- If there is a clean cut to unrelated filler audio or video for YouTube's endcards, mark it as endcards.
- A goodbye doesn't necessarily justify an endcard. A clear audio and visual cut should separate a goodbye before it should be included in an endcard.
- This helps avoid jarring cuts to a goodbye followed by an outro segment. Just include the goodbye and with it, remove the cut.
- See Daily Dose Of Internet Intros, just at the end of a video.
- Financial supporters alone do not qualify for "Credits", and falls under
Unpaid/Self Promotion, see edge cases below.
Category edge cases
- Bloopers and "goodbye" sequences should be
Tangents/Jokes. 
Sponsor segments should always be cut separately.- Unpaid/Self Promotion /
Interaction Reminder (Subscribe) should be cut separately if possible, but can be included only if they cannot be separated
