Likewise.

I think millions of views come from posting articles like this with links to those videos.

The strongest trigger to which one cannot (IMHO) be immune is watching others work,

and the more diligent they are, the more enjoyable it is to watch!

If that doesn't "hook" you either, then you can consider yourself totally ASMR-insensitive.

A young start-up lost a $30 million business

The story of Chinkle at first resembled the movie The Social Network. Startup founder Lucas Duplan was nineteen when he came up with the idea for a financial app that sends money to nearby devices using high-frequency sound. Thanks to connections at Stanford (Lucas is finishing his degree in Computer Science) he managed to get a $30 million investment - an exorbitant amount for an application with nothing behind it, just an interface concept and a demo video. Soon after, Chinkle hired 70 new people.

Trouble began soon after the sales team collected a hundred thousand subscription requests for Chinkle. To mark the occasion, the company paid the distinguished employees an "alco-bus" - and the next day, all its passengers were sacked. Former Netflix CFO Barry McCarthy was hired to stabilise the situation. However, this did not save Chinkle employees from a new wave of layoffs: just before Christmas last year, the departments of development, operations, and HR were completely laid off. McCarthy himself left the company in February.



By now the company has lost about $20 million of investor money and the application remains an unstable concept: the branded sound easily mimics a blender running in the distance, the application takes endless hours to download and drains the battery almost instantly. Perhaps Clinkle will remain a beautiful concept that we will never see.
