The Kid That Conquered YouTube
Spanish online communities joined to help a kid become a YouTuber
YouTube’s Spanish community has seen something beautiful in the last weeks, and it has been the raise to fame of a kid who at the time of writing this piece has reached 7.34 million subscribers.
Tomiii 11 (Tomás) is a sick Chilean 11-year-old kid who loves animals, cartoons, Chubis (which are like Smarties) and video games. He started his channel to fight boredom and inaugurated it with a video titled “Test Clip” in Spanish, where he appears dancing and singing.
On his videos, he talks about his everyday experiences like the time he went to the hospital, or the time he forgot to return some comics to his local library and how embarrassed he felt (he says he is going to return them and will donate some of his own). He also talks about his many dogs and says that he wants to be rich to buy as many Chubis as he can.
But sometimes, he gets serious and warns his followers against scammers who post videos pretending to be him.
