Spreen

Iván Raúl Buhajeruk (born 11 October 2000), better known as Spreen, is an Argentine <a href="/facts/Online_streamer/lXRHsVgl">streamer</a> and <a href="/facts/YouTuber/PMdeqgVl">YouTuber</a>. Spreen began his online career in 2015, initially on <a href="/facts/YouTube/db276jst">YouTube</a> and later expanding to <a href="/facts/Twitch_(service)/mpXWXcTj">Twitch</a>. His content includes gaming, tutorials, and <a href="/facts/Vlogs/JhMmw28p">vlogs</a>, with a focus on creating a community feel with his audience.
In 2023, Spreen was nominated <a href="/facts/The_Game_Awards_2023/2MGqmQtL">Content Creator of the Year</a>, and surpassed streamers such as <a href="/facts/El_Rubius/KqRySHqf">ElRubius</a> and <a href="/facts/IlloJuan/usHex7Ut">IlloJuan</a>. As of July 2022, Spreen's Twitch channel had over 6,700 paid subscribers, and his YouTube channel had 4.4 million subscribers.
On September 22, 2024, Spreen made the switch to the new streaming platform <a href="/facts/Kick_(service)/ql3P5Kzu">Kick</a>. Spreen stated that the move was motivated by better financial terms, claiming he could earn in a single livestream on Kick what he previously made in a month on Twitch.
In November 2024, Spreen made his professional football debut as a <a href="/facts/Striker_(football)/4SVXG5FM">striker</a> for <a href="/facts/Deportivo_Riestra/GV9XcMEP">Deportivo Riestra</a>, before being substituted after less than a minute, in their <a href="/facts/Argentine_Primera_Divisi%25C3%25B3n/36f85xdE">Argentine Primera División</a> match against <a href="/facts/Club_Atl%25C3%25A9tico_V%25C3%25A9lez_Sarsfield/mMKyMjYG">Velez Sarsfield</a> in a 1–1 draw. The debut drew criticism in Argentine media, with <a href="/facts/Estudiantes_de_la_Plata/RaX88V75">Estudiantes de la Plata</a> president <a href="/facts/Juan_Sebasti%25C3%25A1n_Ver%25C3%25B3n/Rzh4Dw3T">Juan Sebastián Verón</a> describing it as a "stunt" and a "lack of respect for football and footballers." Neither Spreen nor Deportivo Riestra issued a public comment at the time. Following the incident, the Argentine Football Association announced an ethics investigation, reportedly in connection with the circumstances of the match.
