Sports journalist Flavio Azzaro sparked controversy in the streaming world by accusing several of his colleagues of using bots to inflate the number of viewers on their channels. In his program, he launched harsh criticisms against Migue Granados, Nicolás Occhiato, and Ángel de Brito, claiming that these practices could damage the platform's credibility.
After leaving television due to various controversies, Azzaro found a new professional opportunity in streaming. He founded the channel 'Azz' in 2021, with the program 'El Loco y el Cuerdo' as its flagship, where alongside Andrés Ducatenzeiler he tackled football and politics without censorship. Over time, his proposal grew to reach 9 hours of daily programming on YouTube, with different formats led by journalists like Jerónimo Torres Santoro, Guillermo Vetere, and Diego Yudcovsky.
Azzaro and his bet on streaming
Azzaro also leads 'Azzaro al Horno', a space for interviews and live or edited reactions, focused on Argentine football and the National Team. His direct and unfiltered style has been a trademark in each of his interventions.
Accusation of bot purchase and attack on the competition
On March 17, live on 'CEF', Azzaro launched strong accusations against OLGA and LUZU TV, platforms of Migue Granados and Nicolás Occhiato, respectively. Without mincing words, he stated that these channels use bots to inflate their audience and deceive brands. "I'm going to take them on and tell everything they do," he said.
