I want to be clear--I didn't mean this as a knock against ASMR videos at all. I watch ASMR vids all the time. I have huge admiration for a lot of ASMRtists and I want them to be successful. I just think the widespread popularity of such videos might speak to larger issues as well

I can see that. For some it might be the closest to one on one intimacy of ANY sort that they can get. And that’s nothing against the folks that do it, because there’s some great folks with channels that do it.

Yeah, I mean, ASMR for me is definitely not a sexual thing, but I understand the need to examine this angle as well.

I would almost guarantee that most of the asmrtists I follow would agree tbh. Kind of dystopic that we end up fleeing to YouTube, of all places, for intimacy
