AuronPlay began his content creation journey on YouTube in 2006, initially gaining notoriety for his satirical commentary and 'criticism' videos. Operating from his bedroom, his early style was characterized by a sharp, deadpan wit and a focus on reviewing bizarre internet trends and other YouTubers. This distinct persona quickly established him as a cornerstone of the Spanish-speaking internet, long before the era of live streaming took hold.
While already a massive YouTube star, his transition to Twitch in 2019 marked a second 'golden age' for his career. He became a central figure in massive community events and roleplay servers such as Marbella Vice (GTA V) and Tortillaland (Minecraft). His ability to blend his established comedic timing with live interaction propelled him to become the second most-followed creator on the platform globally for several years, frequently breaking viewership records.
Today, AuronPlay is regarded as a foundational figure in the Spanish streaming community, often cited as a mentor and inspiration by younger creators. His 'Just Chatting' sessions remain highly influential, where his unique slang and iconic catchphrases permeate Hispanic pop culture. Despite shifting toward a more relaxed schedule in recent years, his influence remains immense, maintaining a fiercely loyal audience that spans across both Spain and Latin America.
