Online career

Starting his YouTube channel in late 2013, Prim initially gained a following on Instagram, though once he worked more on his YouTube he began rising to greater popularity, accumulating 2.5 million subscribers to his channel, despite having published only a handful of videos.[8] Between 2022 and 2024, he took a hiatus from posting content.[8]

Prim was known for his provocative street interviews where he asked controversial questions to passers by, with his content often featuring dark humor and sexual references. His controversial style resulted in a number of his videos being removed from online platforms.[8]

Over time, Prim widened the format of his videos, incorporating vlogs, interviews, and direct rebroadcasting. He also started addressing more serious themes, tending to politics and social questions, using his comic style to comment upon actuality.[13] In May 2026, he announced the series Gaspi visita tu hogar (Gaspi Visits Your Home).[8]
