“not asmr” & i still have tingles GALORE!!! love you & your videos mary!!🫶

Having watched you for a long time, I think you would make an outstanding life coach/counselor. Your advice is always practical, wise and honest. Just my opinion.

I’m with you…I love solitude and doing most things by myself. 🙌🏼 And your soft but not whispering southern accent/voice is such perfect ASMR…love your videos!

i’m not sure why this was considered not asmr… i found it very relaxing hahaha. thanks for sharing more of you with us. you are so special and getting to know you more is an honor!!

as a young woman, i love hearing you talk about touchy subjects. it makes me feel more open to opening up not only to myself but to other people about subjects that i find need to be talked about.

Just the “Hello! It’s good to see you.” And the day’s petty troubles vanish and I’m immediately at peace 😊

Amazing... Realizing what you have gone through regarding your jobs/financial security recently and still provide us with consistent good ASMR care... I salute you!!

Totally understand why you don't do livestreams not sure why anyone does them think this q and a format is perfect

Honestly I never watch live streams because I don’t love them either. I love this format for a Q&A! My favorite channel on KZfaq ❤️

I absolutely adored listening to River Road, I'm so happy to hear you are still working on a sequel!

Mary, I have never commented on a video of yours, but I'm so sorry to hear how hurtful people can be towards you; you don't deserve that. You are, without a doubt, the bee's knees and a comfort for many people, including myself. All the hugs from Canada x :-)

I don’t know much about how ad revenue works, but you’re my top watched channel on KZfaq, and now I’ll be making it a point to watch more and have them playing in the background when I’m working!

Thanks Mary for all your content, you're so gentle, sweet and encouraging in your advice. I love that your channel is 'lo-fi' too, it's way more authentic for me at least, in my opinion. I hope things look up soon for you in terms of job and ad revenue.

Squeeeeee you answered my question! Thank you Mary! I loved your answer about creating as you feel inspired to do so. That’s why you’re so good…you are authentic! Also, girl, I’d love to see you promote your Patreon more! I have a Patreon for my podcast and I know it’s not easy but people do love to help!

I love the honesty in your voice , you're so admirable ❤ I truly love your channel. I know we do not know eachother , but you help me every single day with your videos. I have a very strained relationship with my mother (well not really any relationship with her) Thank you I look up to you in many ways Mary ❤

I’m excited for this lol!! I love getting to know people more through these types of videos ❤

I love that you do what you feel like doing that day. That's the best way to do it, imo!

Welder here👋 Makes me happy to hear that your son is considering it. It's an amazing trade and it will take you places you couldn't imagine!

Love the positive vibes!! I love your channel and have been devoted now for a year since I found you… also I can soooo relate with the sickness.. it was the entire pregnancy, morning, noon and night BUT like you said, worth it :)

I’m so glad you mentioned River Road, I feel so passionately that more people need to read/listen to that book! It’s just brilliant, and it got me through an incredibly dark time in my life. Listening to your book helped me settle down when things felt too big for me to handle. I thank you so much for that, and for sharing your experiences, your creativity, your pain, and your strength. I truly am so grateful Mary. It’s gorgeously written. Also, fun fact - when I read the book “where the Crawdads sing” I couldn’t think how the main character must have spoken because I didn’t know the accent because I’m from England, and then I realised it’s set where you’re from! North Carolina! So from then on, the whole book was narrated by you in my head 😂 it immersed me so much more. So thank you for that too, hahaha.

I could talk loads about Mary, but I simply just love her. Never met her never will, but she’s like my extra Mom and I am absolutely here for it! She’s so open and honest… like a ‘real’ person. Can’t imagine my daily life without her videos to be honest. Mary, you rock! 😎

My son didn't go to college. He chose to go to a technical school for welding. He just graduated and got a great job. Welding is a really good career.

This was fantastic! I am the same age as you and so much of what you said resonates with me. Thanks for the reminder that the tough stuff we go through doesn’t mean we have a bad life!

Watched all ads before you started ❤ Hope your having a good day 😊

I enjoyed this video . . . I’ve been watching for a several years. Love the asmr, the characters you bring to life, store tours . . . It was nice to get to know you in this non-asmr vid. I believe everything works out . . . you’ll find a job AND you will get to Scotland. Thank you for what you do. I wish you all the best ‼️

This was so comforting to listen to it. You just make me feel better. I hope everything works out for you. It will. It always has❤

One of my fave asmrtists Latte Asmr went from making a video almost every day to now, only posting about once a month, sometimes once every 2 months. But she'll do a high-quality 1 - or 2-hour video. Although we miss her posting, we understand it's a lot of work, and it's not always possible. We are perfectly content watching old vids until she posts again. Will be the same for you mary ❤️ even if you posted once a year, we'll still be here.

Don’t tell me what’s asmr or not!! ❤😂

Happy to see you Mary!

Thank you Mary,I really enjoyed this video.Looking forward to the next one.

Going to watch this eating my tea, lots of love for you Mary! Thanks for all you do ❤😊

this was relaxing even though not asmr

I've noticed that ever since you posted a video addressing the ads, I stopped seeing ads altogether. Before that, I only saw ads in the beginning of videos. Weird & conspiracy vibes KZfaq has

Heyyy Mary! It’s good to see you! 0:20

Never feel forced to do something you don't want to do Mary. I don't think live stream ASMR would work either, too many fruit loop scammy spammy trolls would just ruin things. Thanks for doing what you do, just the way you do it Mary.

Thank you Mary. You really share good medicine with the world. I have always wanted to ask about your library ASMR videos....all of them are my absolute favorites. Did you ever work in a library as a page or a librarian? The library was my safe place as a child and where I first experienced ASMR but just never knew what "it" was until about 2018... all the best to you.

Love the mention of welding as a good career option!!! 4 year degrees have been so heavily pushed for so long that vocational training has been so heavily swept under the rug! Great career options out there that don’t involve going into debt for a degree that won’t get you much in return!!!!

Good luck finding a job you will hopefully love. I look forward to your daily videos, so I will remain a dedicated subscriber even when you need to post fewer videos.

Thank you for answering my questions! ❤🎉😊 I collect a lot of things like keys, squishies, and notebooks. I also collected bouncy balls! I enjoyed your answers and I don’t like livestreams either. -Megan

I totally understand how livestreams would make one feel bad. It's more exposed, stressful, and just a bad format for those that do it.. Don't feel like you have to cater to that. Just film it at your leisure. It's good enough.

I can totally see why you wouldn’t do a live stream. I would be the same as you.

Thank you for staying a lofi channel Mary, I just cannot get behind the overproduced and edited videos that every creator does now. I know others love it so like you say, it’s just not my flavor of ice cream lol.

what is KZfaq and Google doing with our creators!!! i hear again and again how they get more and more difficulty to make it work for them. im sorry they cut your revenue Mary. you are so dedicated, i love your videos, your sense of humor is so fun, your no non sense approach to things, your accent is so beautiful, your videos are so informative, as someone who lives in south América, i find out a lot about your culture and products with the shops walk throughs, and i love your shelf organzations videos, the jewerly mistery bags and jars, and my favorite ones when you put together outfits for you or suscribers. that work deserves to be paid and supported by youtube because without us viewers it Will not play. and we viewers love you Mary.

Mary you are so motivating. Thank you!

Thank you for answering my questions 🤗

Loved this Mary love ya woman you’re the absolute best god bless ya

You do amazing and I love all your content ❤

Thank you for your videos. They're always very honest ❤

I like unstreamed format because I too get distracted by the feed questions and I turn it off but then I feel like I am missing soomething. Ha

When you were talking about collecting things I was waiting for you to say you collect jewelry😊

You are so lovely ❤ and you give really good, honest advice which is so refreshing. I really hope you get to take your trip to Scotland soon ❤ I live in England and have visited some parts of Scotland, it is truly beautiful. I'm going to Edinburgh later in the year 😊

This was such a wonderful video to listen to!

I really enjoyed this & I look forward to the next part.

Livestreams...kind of awkward in general i think and i do not watch them. So it does not bother me Mary. I know a lot of you-tubers do them as well. I am just not into them.

Live streaming would be overwhelming, can’t blame you.

ASMR in a livestream format would be rough because God forbid there is a loud noise or something... it would disrupt the whole point of it hahahaha!

I like your q & a .... very much can relate.

(Rudeness is a weak persons imitation of strenght!) That's why people are mean and rude, especially online, where they can hide......weak....

Mary I'm just watching this video and I have to say that for me personally I feel that you should film the way that you want to. These videos are your creations and you should not feel pressured. These videos are a privilege for us to view, not something that we have any right to demand.

I feel like I'm looking in a mirror when you talk about this stuff.. i relate to you so much.

23:46 😂 this sounds like my set up when I had to do a video job application a few years ago. I got through to the next round but god knows how!!

Thanks for everything Mary. Cheers.

Let’s all send Mary a big fat Thanks. 2-50$ from all of us would help her out. Just click on the “thanks “ think. On the comments. Super easy!

Thanks

Can you make a video going over exercises? Like maybe print out instructional images and over explain the name of the exercises and muscles used. Maybe go more in depth about the work out classes that you attend? It sounds like you are passionate about working out and it would be so relaxing!

Please do that video about your pregnancies! As a young woman considering having kids I very much want to know all the details lol

I have a question I’m dying to know the answer to. With Carl, did “my mother lives with me…in her house” come from you, or did the real life Carl actually say that? Either way, it’s brilliant. Thank you for all you do for us! You’re the best 💗💗💗

I don’t understand why your revenue was cut by Google?

BTW I knew a lot of your answers-followed you from start and I learned a lot from your first eye opening book.and growing up I knew I just would not stay in my hometown either.

Hi Mary, I'm also a paralegal. Not sure if this has been asked but could you apply to work at the firm who received the work from the large client? You obviously have experience working with them which I would think is in your favor. Love your videos.

My thoughts on garbage truck brakes: maybe because they have to stop so much so often?

I'm scotish Mary it's a wonder place .hopefully you can get over one time fingers crossed 😊

if you wanna turn this video to ASMR for yourself, change the playback speed to 0.75X. 😁 I was listening to Mary talk and I was wondering why she sounded high. Then I realized my playback speed was on 0.75 😂

Gosh she’s so cool. I’ve always thought so 😂

Hi, sorry if you already know, but incase its an idea, I saw KZfaq channels can also have a Ko-Fi page linked to their KZfaq profile, linked where people can chip in for price of a coffee.

I don’t often enjoy watching livestreams for similar reasons! I find the comments distracting

Please do the next 15.

Great video thanks for the upload ❤🐼❤️

please would you consider reading true crime cases? bailey sarian has a really good series called murder mystery and make up monday. which i love listening to but would love to have your whispers or soft spoken approach when listening

❤

Have you thought of making a KoFi?? Let us tip you directly while YT messes around?

I was the one with the multiple questions within one. Sorry for that.🥲 Thank you for answering! I'm always curious about your kids and family. Some asmrtists are very open about it with family and friends and others aren't. Sorry for my wandering mind and complicated question. It's fun getting to know you! You're so appreciated!

Sincerely… what stopped you from the two things that brought you light?

♡

I really don't like live stream videos and even your fab store walk throughs I prefer them when you do voiceover afterwards. Agree about not going to Uni degrees are not worth the paper they're written on now at least here in uk as standards are so low now pretty much anyone can get one! I kind of thought you collected jewellery 😉☺The warning about mean people is true but sticks and stones.... never understand why people are bothered by opinions of people like that who they don't know and will never meet. What heppened to being resilient? Hope you get to Scotland the Highlands and islands are beautiful. My favourite place is Applecross and the mountain pass to get to it a nd love Loch Carron. Avoid going in summer though the midges and their bites are horrible!

You have a psych degree?! Amazing.

👋👍🤗

Is every you tube creator losing as revenue? This is very disappointing for all the hard work you do.

First to comment ❤ xoxo Mary!!!!!!

Can I clone you? This guy in Spain thinks you're gorgeous,

I was expecting a run-of-the-mill Q&A video, but instead I got a lot of great advice and insight from you. Real talk, you said a lot of things that my stubborn ass really needed to hear. Thank you Mary, I loved this video ❤️ PS good luck with your job hunt & don't worry about the fact you'll have to upload less often. Your subs understand & we want what's best for you. Don't overwork yourself, upload when/if you feel like it. Thanks for being a comforting presence in my life. Love ya!! 🥰

Going to watch this eating my tea, lots of love for you Mary! Thanks for all you do ❤😊
