Summit1g And The New ASMR Trend

Twitch streamer Jaryd Lazar aka summit1g shared his opinion regarding the new controversy in the platform about the leggings ASMR streams as he suggests that this trend is just the viral hot tub meta jumping into a new category. The new ASMR streams have recently taken over the platform with the previous hot tub streamers started to jump in to the ASMR content to do their what they called “earlicking and leggings ASMR stream” where in they are laying down in front of their camera while wearing a leggings and licking their ear shaped ASMR microphones.

Twitch streamer Summit1g recently shared some of his thoughts surrounding the issue as he stated that the same streamers on the hot tub meta back in june, are exploiting ASMR after being kicked out of the Just Chatting category.

In the past months, the hot tub meta took over twitch causing a debate between streamers over whether the broadcasts violated the site’s TOS. Because of this, Twitch has created a new category ‘Pools and Beaches’ so that these hot tub streamers were not streaming under the Just Chatting section.

Summit1g stated that because of the new category, the hot tub meta have seemingly died down in viewers so these hot tub streamers started to jump into the ASMR category. Summit1g tweeted out; “Looks like the hot tub meta got too low on numbers without the just chatting section carrying it. Time to move to ASMR! Lol what a joke man.” He further explained his take on the issue during his recent live broadcast. According to Summit, the moment that these hot tub streamers getting kicked out of the Just chatting category and went to the ‘pools and beaches’, this category obviously weren’t gonna last any longer so what these streamers going to do is that they will find a new and more popular category which is the ASMR.

Summit also questioned how Twitch couldn’t see this as sexually suggestive content as he stated; “I don’t understand how it couldn’t be sexually suggestive when one of the goals is to make eye contact while you are licking into this microphone. And there are constant position changes that are never normal. Why would I be playing games this way while you are looking at me from over there? And then it’s like, the ASMR stuff is happening, they aren’t just sitting. They aren’t just laying down. I don’t know what the f**k is going on!” Summit1g went on to reiterate that this was all about hot tub streamers trying to get back on the front page by flooding the ASMR section as he argued that channels kicked off the Just Chatting category hit them hard financially.
