Sumario:The COVID-19 pandemic forced absolute confinement in Spain from March 15 to July 21, 2020. On the other side of the screen, YouTubers girls and boys, creators of specific content for their peers, took the opportunity to increase their productions.

The results show increased interactors, positioning the female sector as the most prevalent gender.
