See also: the ASMR trend. A lot of the videos are emulating personal attention and ‘social grooming’ (someone doing your makeup, haircare, shaving, etc). And reiki, crystals, tarot, palm reading, and so on are all popular subjects too!

To say it’s all debunked mumbo jumbo that won’t cure cancer is to miss the point!
