Pre-recorded videos take away from the live experience that allows channels in this category to grow. Other platforms exist for prerecorded content and streams should cater to the live experience and not offer an alternative that is available elsewhere. This can degrade the streamer that streams by making new followers question the legitimacy of the streamer, but also other streamers, as new followers will struggle to tell what is live or not. This also prevents followers from wanting to explore or follow streamers in this category as they will be unable to communicate with the streamer. When this happens this can prevent growth of the streamer and hurt other streamers as well. I believe prerecorded streams may benefit other categories, but ASMR is not one of them.
