And You Thought The Entertainment Bar Couldn't Be Set Lower...

I don't know if it's a sign of the decline of Western civilization or a cool way to game the system that this woman and others like her are getting rich eating on YouTube. It's called "mukbang" and it's just people gorging themselves on various food, with this woman specializing on seafood, mostly, including sucking the meat out of king crab legs, and I disapprove of what you're thinking even as I recognize that it's impossible to think anything else. She claims to be a millionaire from it. And it's tied into ASMR, which you know about. She has 1.8 million YouTube subscribers and 900,000 followers on Instagram. Good for her, I guess, but bad for society, which has apparently devolved. (New York Times)
