These are the ASMR YouTubers earning millions from eating on screen

Getting paid thousands to eat incredibly delicious food is literally the dream job. Yes ok you do have to film yourself eating for strangers on the Internet because they find it relaxing, but honestly this level of dollar is really worth it.

If you’re wondering why these YouTubers are making a lot of money, its because ASMR videos are extremely popular on YouTube. ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response. It’s a feeling of comfort combined with a tingling sensation felt in the scalp and the back of the neck. Some people have even described it as a “brain orgasm” and it’s meant to be relaxing and pleasurable. What triggers ASMR is different for everyone, and a lot of people find hearing the over exaggerated sound of someone eating pleasurable.

ASMR food videos are so big YouTubers with millions of subscribers can rake in the cash just from chowing down on some burgers, noodles or a live octopus. Ok, so maybe it’s not totally worth the money.
