    not that surprised though, some creators were definitely cashing in on lonely males who wanted to stare into the eyes of a pretty woman for hours at a time. I don’t see how such a thing could be healthy, for either party.

      Seems like the content industry in general is evolving towards cashing in on thirst, even if it’s not ASMR. The most banal tutorial about any craft or activity suddenly has some not-so-accidental innuendo, or the creator chooses the most not-so-innocently-revealing attire, or acts weird-but-it’s-all-in-your-mind towards the tools or materials…

      Nothing against whatever someone wants to put out there, but if you are after the tutorial and the algorithm feeds you the plausibly deniable softcore it’s a bit exhausting.

        Ah you’ve seen Hands On Katie. My wife’s first reaction was “Why is her channel logo a boob?” and ten seconds later: “Right”

      Your submission in “Multiple Major ASMR Accounts Suddenly Removed From YouTube Over ‘Explicit Content’” was removed for The myth that poor, innocent men are the victims of vile women has always been a justification to discriminate against women and ban them from public life. With the current purge of erotic and queer content from all kinds of platforms such rhetoric will not be tolerate on Ghazi. .
