"The number of views from yesterday was real. Yes, we had that many people connected," affirmed Matías, highlighting the reach achieved during the special broadcast. The businessman also commented with laughter on the difficulties he had communicating in English during the meeting with IShowSpeed, pointing out that there were several things he wanted to express, but that the translators did not exactly convey what he wanted to say. "I won, I'm at the top," Santiago expressed, also assuring that many people value the work he has built on digital platforms. At another point in the conversation, the content creator spoke about figures who, according to him, have tried to affect his career, mentioning the Puerto Rican influencer Molusco, of whom he said he doesn't know if the criticisms towards him respond to "envy". Furthermore, Matías highlighted the impact that IShowSpeed's visit had on the country, assuring that the audience recorded in the Dominican Republic surpassed that achieved in many other territories. "IShowSpeed had one of the biggest audiences here in the Dominican Republic. The whole country moved and that stayed in my head," he stated.
