So ASMR is a thing. I think I understand why people are into it but it does nothing for me. I only really notice that I can hear their saliva moving around more than anything else. Here's a joke...

Spatial audio is truly neat.
Audio/acoustics/sound are important and interesting. The ASMR thing seems a bit out of reach to me though, but maybe some filmmaker with a brilliant sound team will do something cool with it and suddenly I'll buy in like everyone's eccentric uncle who yolo'd bitcoin and vapes.

I imagine a good number of people watch the videos less for the physical response and more because they get something out of it emotionally, though. I've read the same about mukbang, that the popularity might be partially explained by people becoming less social IRL.
