Ieuan Rees's most recent claim to fame is via the "Best Unintentional ASMR" channel on YouTube. This YouTube video came about due to a project from "Artisan Media" in 2012. They had intended on video taping artists at work and selling the videos, however, he was "too niche" so they uploaded it to YouTube and abandoned the project, as did Rees himself.[4] It would be eventually picked up by a YouTube channel known as "Best Unintentional ASMR" where it would go on to gather more than 5.6 million views,[6] spawn a "GoFundMe" campaign, and get him interviewed by the BBC,[1] The South Wales Guardian[3] and Inside Edition.[4]
