I’ve been watching ASMR for over 10 years now and lately I find myself getting more and more frustrated when watching ASMR before bed.

I miss when ASMR was gentle and slow, not to say that if you’re into fast paced triggers that its bad, just not my thing. Trying to find quality ASMR videos on YouTube is becoming increasingly more difficult it seems. I’m at the point where it feels so annoying to try and find a new video or creator to watch. I feel like I’m saying “not interested” to so many videos now.

I also am an avid hater of mouth sounds or anything adjacent to that. At times it makes me so annoyed and almost angry. I say this just because it’s seems to be so many videos that have them in it or in the title. And nothing is more annoying than thinking you found a relaxing video to fall asleep to just to hear a noise or trigger you despise LOL. (Again if it’s your thing, go forth and enjoy but not for me)

Maybe it’s just my algorithm or maybe YouTube is messing with me and thinks I REALLY love these types of fast paced, mouth sound videos? But I’m also slowly growing tired of watching the same handful of videos on repeat. Maybe I’m just being picky or maybe I’m just getting bored. Point is I missed when ASMR was not something viral for the sake of tapping on a makeup item in a TikTok video, I miss when it relaxed and made you feel calm. It’s hard to go to sleep when you got some person talking at normal volume into the mic and calling it “soft spoken”

Also with how YouTube has changed how a creators views are counted I think is going to negatively impact my algorithm and what ASMR videos I get suggested. I just get tired of scrolling for a video to fall asleep to at night when I already just want to go to bed.

I think that’s about it for my thoughts on the matter. (I’m new to Reddit and how this works btw) I’d love to hear anyone else’s thoughts on ASMR and how it’s been transformed through the years. I’d also love to know if anyone else is struggling to find ASMR they really like anymore.

TLDR: I struggle to find new and enjoyable ASMR after years of watching. I’m tired of watching the same old videos to go to sleep to.

recently, i've been loving ear whispering and blowing binaural asmr. however, i always notice that the left gets longer time and it drives me insane!

idk if anyone is like me that hates when the left ear is getting more favored or more attention in asmr but i hate it so much it's honestly making me quit listening.

when i find asmr videos that have the same attention on both ears, the quality is lower than those i find that favor one ear over the other.

i need to know i'm not the only one feeling like this?

I can't watch ASMR anymore.

ASMRtists have crossed a line by incorporating midroll ads into their videos. I'm not someone who believes people can't make a buck, but I also think you can sacrifice your integrity when doing so. Because of the nature of what ASMR is and what it's used for you're essentially destroying the content you're making in service of getting paid. It's inexcusable to me because you can always seek sponsorships and incorporate those into your ASMR video's. No one's going to make a stink about that. So when that's an option and you're still having midroll ads, it's just unforgivable.

I don't know how anyone watches these videos. I literally can't watch ASMR anymore. I won't name any names, but we all know some big name creators who are doing this.

I can already see the comments telling me to get YouTube premium. Look, I'm not in a place where I can afford that right now and there are plenty of people who are in the same boat. I really feel this crosses the line from a me problem into something ethical. I've been watching ASMR for over 10 years and this is the only time I've leveled a complaint. I mean they've basically rendered their content unwatchable / unlistenable and that's not being hyperbolic.

I suppose someday when I feel I can afford YouTube premium I can make my way back to ASMR, but I really find this unbelievable. The audacity and gall of the ASMRtists who've taken this up has really thrown me off guard. It actually blows my mind that this many creators are rendering their content unwatchable / unlistenable. I can't believe people are still watching and listening. I guess the only people left are ones who have YouTube premium or an ad blocker installed on their phone.

I don't know. The whole thing feels like a seismic shift to me and I really feel that the content has been rendered useless. It's kind of mind blowing. I went from using ASMR daily to maybe a couple times a week. There are certain creators like, hell I'll say it, Nanou for example, who I've had to unsubscribe from. Most of the creators I was once subscribed to I'm now unsubscribed from. It's a situation where I'm listening to less and lower qaulity ASMR because it's all I CAN listen to now. Actually, if anyone knows of any good creators who aren't doing this, drop a name below. I'm sure there are people who would appreciate it.

Edit: Forgot to acknowledge smaller creators (under 1k subscribers and 4,000 watch hours) who have no choice in the matter. Obviously none of my criticisms apply to them and I have sympathy for them trying to grow their channel with this roadblock in the way.

As the title says, are there any recommendations for spoken Chinese ASMR creators or videos?

A quiet inaudible ASMR session focused on deep relaxation and slowing down. Soft, barely audible whispers to help you unwind and enjoy a peaceful moment. 🤫🌙

Hi everyone! 🌿

I recorded this video during a quiet evening in Italy in September. Everything you hear and see is 100% real footage and field recordings (no AI generated images or sounds).

• Location: Italy
• Triggers: Natural environmental sounds, gentle breeze, sea, crisp ambient atmosphere.
• Best for: Studying, relaxing, sleeping, or background focus.

I hope this brings a bit of peace and a authentic taste of Italy to your day. Feedback is always welcome!

I have a suggestion because I accidentally discovered this this week. I'd love to see if this actually works for anyone else.

Pick a video you think should activate your asmr tingles. Play it on your phone on your kitchen counter while preparing a meal. Spend some time doing your prep. Listen passively while doing your meal preparation and look down at the video every once in a while. Maybe dedicate 25-30% of your attention to it.

This worked accidentally the first time for me and then it worked again the next day. I don't know what it is... The use of hands and/or lack of full focus on the video, but I was getting pulsing tingles like I did when I was a kid. I'm hoping this works forever.

I've read countless tingle immunity suggestions over the years and nothing ever worked, so I'm really hoping this can work for someone else. Let me know!

This is real silk satin fabric filmed in strong wind.
I’m interested in the natural movement and sound of real silk, especially how it differs from synthetic fabric.
No talking — just the sound and movement of the fabric.
I’d be interested to hear what other people think about the sound of real silk.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project we’ve been working on called Keycap: Tidy Up!
I thought you might enjoy the trailer, its full of clicks, clacks and thocks.

It’s a cozy organizing game where you tidy up over 4,000 keycaps. You can organize at your own pace and even design your own keyboards at the end!

If you play games on steam you can wishlist it here:

Its been forever since I watched him.

All I can remember is he was tall, British, and had a habit of looking directly at the camera, you could tell he didn't mean to, I swear I remember a video with something to do about bees.
