This thread made me realise that BBBY is literally insane - a quick trip over to her vlog channel to confirm her victim complex made me instantly unsubscribe. I feel terrible because she has close creator friends like Yvette ASMR (who I love!) who is most likely being sucked into her crazy world. It is unsurprising that a couple other creators in her sphere are very problematic.
In other ASMR news, I'm glad ASMR Requests is back as Ally Etc. ! I think there's going to be an adjustment period in her setup and production quality as her ex is no longer editing her videos, but she feels like the friend who went travelling for years and just came back!
In terms of recommendations, I highly advocate for the ASMR quality of these channels (I don't know a lot about their drama)
- JellyBeanGreenASMR - One of the few channels I genuinely fall asleep to instantly, she is so relaxing and gives cool aunt vibes!
- SouthernSoundsASMR - She seems like such a sweet soul, I love the regular uploads and lo-fi really works for her!
- LatteASMR - An undisputed ASMR queen. Those long intros and the set designs are A-Class. Shame she hasn't used long intros recently.
- MyalingASMR - Very similar to Latte. The production quality is insane and I feel like she has her own unique style.
- Relaxing Male ASMR - I heard in a TysonASMR video that he intentionally does husband/boyfriend role-plays to boost engagement (fair enough), but I find his voice to be highly soothing and relaxing in any case!
- GibiASMR - The first video I ever saw was by her. I don't feel like she does 'ASMR' specifically anymore, I just consider them relaxing videos.
- NamelessNomadASMR - I recently fell in love with this guy & his videos. He feels like a friend I've always known, I love the weird mouth sounds he can make!
- RachASMR - Clicky whispers are definitely niche, but I really like Rach's channel and it has grown really quickly. Not that I feel entitled to it, but I think that the way she is so transparent about her past is very refreshing and great for building trust with the viewer!
