translated from Spanish: The Argentine with the most followers of TikTok is called Michelo and is a “robot”

When it didn’t look like any other app was going to beat Twitter or Instagram, TikTok arrived to change plans and become one of the fixed social networks on every cell phone. In Argentina it had an extraordinary boom from which hundreds of people benefited, who saw in TikTok the possibility of developing new ventures and generating different audiences. But who is the tiktoker with the most followers in Argentina? He is nothing more or nothing less than Diego Omar Suarez, who records his videos for TikTok under his robot alias, Michelo and who has already gained almost 8.5 million followers in the app and more than 81 million likes.
However, Michelo is not a native of TikTok, but was born many years earlier, when Diego Omar met popping (popularly known as the robot dance) on YouTube and became fascinated. Thus, Diego Omar began practicing at home until he managed to dance well enough to expose himself to the audience of Salta, his home and residence province today. At first I did it to the cap, bringing good amounts of money home, but not now. The two dozen videos you make a day are enough for you to live in, in addition to the brands that come your way to participate in your advertising campaigns. Even a production company intends to take him to Los Angeles to dance.
“My character is famous especially outside Argentina. They write to me from famous pages in other countries, with 20 million followers, to see if they can show my videos, I see people from Indonesia, from Arabia. The ones who follow me and support me the most are from the United States, thanks to them I can solve all the expenses that I have,” he said in dialogue with Infobae.And ends, explaining a little bit his carpe diem philosophy: “I am aware that one day it can be finished, then I will have no problem in performing again in the street, but now I take advantage of the moment”.
