An Explanation for the Trigger or Trash videos.
🕑 Added 2017-01-28 15:00:49 +0000 UTC Hi everyone. In the comments section of my latest Trigger or Trash video, a viewer made this comment:"These are very good. The ASMR world is getting so vast and diverse, what might be trash for one could very well be a trigger for another. I think these videos are a great addition to your channel."
I thought about his comment for a moment and even though I may have made mention to this before to my patrons, I went ahead and typed out this reply to the origional commentor and anyone else that reads it so as to explain exactly what I'm doing with the Trash or Trigger series.
"You are right my friend, the world of ASMR videos has grown so much since I started my channel. I'll be quite honest with you and anyone else that reads this; these types of videos are really not my style, you know it and I know it, but I recognize that many ASMR channels are of people sitting around creating sounds for the sake of the sound itself, with no goal or any purpose but to create a sound.
In contrast, many of my videos are of me doing something, something real and many times with a purpose and sometimes out of necessity. Often though, it's just for for the fun of sharing something I enjoy with the viewer. In a way, this makes my ASMR different, but perhaps less popular and I recognize that. I'm incorporating these simple, direct, sound videos to attract others in the hopes that they'll check out some of my other videos and discover that there is an alternative to the more contrived types of videos. This is not an insult to those types of videos, nor of their creators, (I enjoy many of those myself).
Having said all this, these simple little videos are fun to make in their own way, and definitely easier, so please don't think I didn't enjoy making them because I did, and I can only see myself getting better at at this type of video. Adding this type of video to my channel will also make me pay more attention to the different sounds I encounter daily because you never know when I'll be inspired by the strangest click or clack from the world in which I live."
Thanks to all of you patrons for what you do!!

Good idea. I wonder how many pocket knives I have that will spin? I'll have to check into that.

If the mood to spin pocket knives ever strikes you, a video of it (like your much beloved intro) would be amazing! :)
