The youtuber resident in Andorra Willyrex has generated controversy following participation in the latest video published by Zazza the Italian, an italian youtuber who makes videos in Spain. The controversy has arisen because Willyrex appears in a publication that shows people in a situation of vulnerability and need, a circumstance that has provoked numerous criticisms on social networks. The behavior of the YouTubers has generated outrage among users who comment that “he takes advantage of the situation of vulnerable people to generate visits and income”.
Willyrex he appears in the recording disguised in a cap, wig and glasses as he walks a neighborhood of Madrid that he does not identify but that according to Spanish media it is him Lavapiés neighborhood. At some points in the video several people confront the content creator and reprimand him that I record them assuring that I cannot violate their privacyand that he should have “asked for permission to be able to record images”, they claim. The verbal confrontation caused by the presence of YouTubers reaches the point where two Spanish police officers intervene to control the situation and push away the people trying to stop who are still recording them. “He’s hooking up”says the YouTuber resident in Andorra at the time as they continue to take images. Part of the criticism that appeared on social networks questions that this type of content expose vulnerable people as an element of entertainment.
The purpose of the video is that Willyrex “complete two challenges with the goal of getting out of your comfort zone.” The first involves begging people for money on the street, while the second is being a TV reporter.
