Regarding the key points that he made clear at the time of the transmissions, there were two that were non-negotiable: “Don’t tell me what I have to do or what to play,” since it was common for viewers who were in the middle of fluid communication to start to observe messages from people who only interacted to request various topics or particular games. All for the good of the community. In fact, the second non-negotiable point was: “Always tell me I’m cute. Bad vibes are not welcome. If you are going to come here to fight, I will cut you.”
In 2017 he appeared on Instagram with a series of videos called “Is it my friend or is it me?”, in which he represented different ways of people acting when faced with routine issues such as receiving a call from a call center – the first of the videos uploaded to that social network -, when ordering a pizza or even about how people act when drinking mate.
