>>26226848so the thing with ASMR is that not everyone gets 'tingles' from it. some people use it as a social companion stand in and some people use it for jerking material.
for me, i like ASMR cause i have horrendous tinnitus. it sounds and feels like bells going off in my ears if there's not some sort of constant noise going on, like a fan blowing. but even then it can sometimes get bad and ASMR makes it so my ears aren't hurting anymore.
i kinda like it for the 'social' aspect of it too. being a babysitter and nanny so often, i was usually the adult left alone at night and it could get kind of spooky. but listening to someone talk can be helpful, and sometimes i just want to the gentle talkin that ASMR has. i hope this is a little bit of insight! there's obviously going to be people who just jump into because they think it will be ez money, kind of like streaming in general, but i enjoy listening to it and i hope to get better at making it myself.
