Tokyvideo has become the revelation to watch audiovisual content. Its simplicity, enormous offer and being totally free have raised it to the highest positions among Google searches. For this reason, thousands of users trust it both to see cooking recipes and to enjoy the latest episode of their favorite series.
What is it?
There are many who do not know his name, but “Tokyvideo” is the most searched term in Cinema, TV and series of 2021 within the colossal search engine. It is a Spanish social network focused on consuming videos. Its content includes movies and series, but also NBA games or concerts. All this for free.
It was created by Techpump Solutions, the company from Gijón responsible for Cumlouder and other websites with a pornographic theme. Unlike YouTube, the most popular content is not original content, but excerpts from series or movies. Of course, like this one, it has begun to create its own content, such as the Talks series, which consists of holding debates that involve the user so that they can give their opinion on the subject matter.
How does it work?
The platform has a simple interface. We can search for the content we want in the top search bar or browse the folders that archive various topics; For this reason, it is more like a library than a typical streaming platform. It thus joins the best services, such as freely accessible channels, to consume content.
Like Reddit or Twitter, it is easier to interact with those who share likes, due to its folder structure. As users we can follow themes to our liking. Of course, after subscribing by e-mail or Facebook, it is also possible to upload videos and comment on them.
At the moment, the page already shows trends and “TOP categories”, in case you don’t know what to look for. This shows us the disparity of content it offers, from “vegan recipes” to “motor documentaries” and of course “sci-fi movies”. Obviously, the right to administer the material uploaded to it is reserved.
Why has he succeeded?
Tokyvideo allows you to find content that is difficult to find on other platforms. One of the most viewed trends is the full episodes of Turkish soap operas, such as the mythical Love is in the Air, and the platform does not stick to one theme, but rather offers everything. Almost any video you want to see will be found on the social network, whether it’s the episode of your favorite series or a viral one created on the other side of the world.
One factor to take into account to explain its success is the implementation of ads on YouTube, which has led to an exodus of users. On the other hand, TikTok contains fragmented movies and series, something that does not happen in Tokyvideo, capable of storing long videos.
This, together with its easy accessibility, has led to it becoming the most groundbreaking social network in the Spanish market in 2021. Obviously it is far from giants, such as the aforementioned YouTube or TikTok, but its growth is exponential; In addition, its promotion is meritorious considering that its financing is much lower. The more users you have, the more popular you will be and the sooner you will start uploading more of your own content. Who knows if one day it will rival Netflix or YouTube.
