What is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium.
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

Impossible. The oldest you could have been in middle school when this video came out is 13. That means you were born in 2004, meaning your only 16 or even 17 at the oldest. A couple years off from college. Edit: I saw the congress building in your profile pic so I’m assuming your American
this video was released 4 years ago what
@@naazriin Pretty rare to see a recent comment on a 7 month old post. But yes, this video released in July 2017, so it has been almost 4 years since its initial release.
It’s possible. High school is 4 years in America. This video came out 4 years ago at the time he made the comment. He was likely 14 at the end of 8th grade and was 18 at the start of freshman year of college

Pixel Gamer Inc tbh anybody can do asmr and i don't the large different between him and the other asmr artists(don't mad on me,i still like him though) what make great asmrtists like e.r and asmr zeigeist is their creativity,their video edit and the mic quality

At 24:16, Ephemeral gives the viewer 15 dollars. This video has 15 million views. Let’s do some math 15x15,000,000=22,500,000 This means that he has given out 225 million dollars, meaning he is roughly the 72nd largest philanthropist. What a nice guy :)
why am i laughing my ass off at this, it's not even a proper joke
No it has 13 million views
you forgot a 0 in the answer
That would be $225,000,000, and the video has almost 14 million views so it’s actually $210,000,000
