Unintentional ASMR is still very popular and lots of channels are trying to go back to the start of things by making 2-person roleplay vids instead of 'talking-to-the-camera-as-an-elf' vids, so they put 'unintentional' in the title to draw in that crowd.The trend that really irks me is labelling something as unintentional ASMR when it really isn't... also I don't really understand when people call it 'intentional unintentional ASMR' surely that's just normal ASMR?!
I haven't gone off any ASMRtists because i have such a small core of favourites that are deliberately repetitive, but on the other hand I haven't really found a new ASMR channel to follow in years. WhisperAudios still makes fantastic videos for YT, I can't speak against her for that. FeMale ASMR uploads so regularly I thought I'd get burnout but even now they still put me to sleep. There's also some Turkish barber blokes that are really relaxing but I can never remember their channel names offhand!
