[h=1]Autonomous sensory meridian response[/h]I"m not so much interested in the topic as in the fact that there are tons of youtube videos about this topic with 100's of thousands of hits.

The wiki says that ASMR can trigger a reaction in some people, basically making your scalp tingle, kinda like goosebumps I guess. And also some people find that what is described as "ASMR" has a calming affect on them if they have high anxiety. So some people watch it to chill out I guess.

I didn't get any goosebumps and didn't find it particularly calming. My loss I guess. But it's another example of what you're competing with when it comes to creating content. Things are getting very, very niche.

I get goosebumps when I hear the opening notes of Tears for Fears' "Head Over Heels". Is there a weird fetish message board for that?
 
This is actually really incredible if you have a good pair of headphones. Seems to me there would be a lot of potential here in a narrative format...
