Then she mentioned that if she ever creates a YouTube channel, she would do ASMR.
"When I was a film major, I was always into YouTube; I loved the internet culture; I loved everything about ASMR. I was so familiar with the community and who was in it and the little nuances. I was like, 'If I’m going to start a YouTube channel, I think I would do ASMR.'"
"I didn’t think anyone would like what I had to offer, but I knew I wanted to take it seriously."
