You're right, he should have his own youtube channel. I'm thinking a go pro attached to his bike to record his travels and musings whilst riding through the countryside. Although, you have to admit that getting some kind of internet haircut is a pretty bizarre market.
ASMR is a huge thing - particularly on YT. Here is one of the main characters (Greg Gorey) from the recent CNN cult movie Holy Hell doing some ASMR massage: With ASMR videos, you can get a shave, a haircut, a scalp massage, be in a thunderstorm, or any one of a hundred things. It's all about the audio sensory hightenment. Probably the best know ASMR producer on YT is MassageASMR. It's all REALLY weird until you put on your headphones.
I realize I'm increasingly the weird one in the world as I would be more at home in the '50's than now. But, what the heck is the draw for these types of videos? Does watching someone get a massage make someone feel like THEY just got a massage? I'm not sure I understand audio sensory hightenment--people enjoy listening to someone give another person a haircut?
It's not about the haircut or the massage, it's about the sound. The thing that is getting done is really secondary to what the audio is doing for the listener. It's been called a "brain or head orgasm" by folks in the know. Some folks enjoy listening to the sound a storm makes. ASMR videos (or those that make them) fill that much watched niche. The guy that I mentioned, MassageASMR, spent thousands on his setup for his videos (there is a video on YT where he goes through his entire setup). I'm not sure what you do, but he's making money hand over fist producing videos that are watched by millions. Go figure.
dang. no one watches my videos. i went visual when i shoulda gone audio. i have videos of a cast iron pan sitting on the counter.
When I'm overseas I watch ASMR videos to help me fall asleep. Heather Feather is the best. Usually takes 10 minutes and I'm out like a light!
