Career

During the early years of ASMR content, Gibi was a high school sophomore with anxiety and insomnia when YouTube's recommendation algorithm introduced her to the genre.^[5][6] After watching and listening to ASMR for years, Gibi created her YouTube channel in June 2016, before her senior year of college.^[4][5] That summer, she began cosplaying and attending anime conventions; inspired by earlier creators, she incorporated these interests into role-play ASMR videos, which feature both existing and original characters.^[7] From the start, Gibi intended to treat video-making as a full-time job, which included taking her winter quarter off from college to focus on production.^[4][7] Within six months of graduating, she was earning enough to create videos full-time, and after a year reached one million subscribers.^[4][5][8]
