One has to be extremely naïve not to know what "ASMR creators" are actually selling. I don't think it's all that weird that they are being banned from PP for using it to sell indecent content.

I do. Banks should only disallow illegal transactions.

Not that I am surprised: PayPal is American.

Paypal also isn't a bank.
It's not weird to me, they do it because of the big amount of chargebacks on porn content. This has been discussed here to oblivion.
Pray tell -- what are ASMR creators actually selling, that's so indecent?
They are selling their sex appeal. Couple of video titles:

Scottish Murmurs - Full body massage role play - Ear to Ear sleep spa

Rose ASMR: - Mouth sounds, ear massage - Brushing your face, kisses

This is the first time I hear of ASMR and I quite like it but let’s not pretend this isn’t about their sex appeal.
