I discovered ASMR around 5 years ago... My sister told me that there are some videos on Youtube where you can listen some relaxing and tingly sounds that ASMRtists are creating, and I became addicted :) But there were only few of them, now there are a lot of ASMR content creators and I'm one of them :) The difference it that now as a practitioner my thoughts are directed into how to improve my content, my audio quality, there are a lot of new ideas... As a viewer, while listening your mind is clear from this thoughts... :)) However, now I enjoy listening and I enjoy creating, it makes me happy if I can succeed in making people relaxed, so the pleasure is doubled... :)
Thanks for asking :)
Stay safe and listen ASMR :)
