The controversy is served. The opinion is on the street and on the networks. The move of ElRubius to Andorra has raised an old controversy that seemed buried and that now, with the decision of the first great Spanish Youtuber, has been reopened. There are opinions on all tastes and they all revolve around the same thing. It is indisputable that emigrating to Andorra is very favorable in terms of tax reduction (10%) compared to the Spanish tax rate (45% -50%) for large salaries. However, thanks to these taxes – theirs and everyone’s – is how free public health care and all the services provided by the state in which they grew up are financed.
That’s where the controversy comes in. If the debate, for and against, is in all of Spanish society, obviously it could not be less in the community of Spanish content creators. With TheGrefg, Willyrex, now ElRubius … and company living in the country of the Pyrenees, fewer and fewer great personalities reside in Spain. However, as if it were the village of Asterix itself, there are still great names that resist in our country and take a position against leaving for Andorra. The most prominent, by the level of impact and public opposition to their peers.
Ibai, AlexElCapoand IlloJuan.
Ibai Llanos, the first to oppose the first thing I’m going to start by saying is that the tax thing seems like bullshit to me. It’s normal that people who earn a lot of money or those who are rich are taken away a lot of money and more perhaps that they should be taken away, and They should take less from everyone who earns 2,000, 1,500 euros or less. I’m fine here and it seems like a good act to pay taxes here because that’s what everyone does. And like everyone else, I do it too. And above, since I earn a lot of money, it seems normal to me that they take 50% from me, said the popular Spanish streamer some time ago.
He, one of the most popular Twitch streamers in the world and the Spanish with the most subscribers on the platform has now become the great visible head of the streamers who follow in Spain since ElRubius leaves the country after more than 10 years of paying taxes on it. Ibai explained his personal case and why he continues to live in Spain: I live like a fucking mother and I do not care if they take half of me, because I continue to live to spare. If I have not gone to Andorra it has been because it has not worked out for me. of the balls and because what I’m saying is true. If what I said is a lie, I would already be in Andorra, but I am serious: what they take away from me is hard for me because I continue to live like a fucking mother and it seems normal to me that people who earn a lot of money are taken away a lot of money.
And like me, many YouTubers and friends think the same as me, and that is why they do not go to Andorra.
The thread by AlexElCapo
Another of the great content creators who have taken a position against leaving Spain for Andorra is AlexElCapo.You really know and I mean my colleagues in the profession that we earn much more than necessary. And ole good for us. Maybe it’s time to be responsible for the rest he says.
IlloJuan, the last to join the criticism
One of the streamers who have wanted to join in the criticism now that the issue has returned to the news due to the departure of ElRubius has been Illo Juan, owner of the successful YouTube channel LMDShow and the Twitch channel that bears his name. Sacrificing your social welfare for the economic one seems like a catechist to me. It is something I would not do. I know that in Spain there is a lot of shit and a lot of submerged economy but I am at home well. I would not sacrifice my family my partner, my friends to earn more money he said.
