Brave Bison reaffirms confidence in Alofoke and the authenticity of Planeta Alofoke's audience 

STATEMENT FROM BRAVE BISON 

Brave Bison has been a YouTube partner for more than 14 years, working closely with creators, channels, and media brands across global digital platforms. We have worked alongside Alofoke from the very beginning of his digital journey, witnessing first-hand over 10 years of incredible organic audience and brand growth. Throughout that time, we have ensured the efficacy and quality of the channels, the audiences and subscribers, as we do with all our partners.

Santiago Matias, owner of the Alofoke brand and YouTube channels, has created highly innovative live streaming formats that blend music, culture, conversation, audience participation, and real-time social engagement in a way that resonates deeply with viewers across the Dominican Republic and internationally. The scale of the live audiences being achieved reflects the cultural impact of the show and the strength of the community that has formed around it. 

The success of Planeta Alofoke has been nothing short of extraordinary. The stream is not only delivering exceptional, YouTube-verified audience engagement and sustained growth across social platforms, but is also breaking new ground in terms of format, scale, and live digital entertainment. His success has been built over many years through consistency, innovation, cultural relevance, and an unmatched connection with his audience. The performance we are seeing today with Planeta Alofoke is entirely consistent with the scale and loyalty of the audience that Alofoke has cultivated over the past decade. 
 
We are aware of online commentary and accusations suggesting that creators in the Dominican Republic are artificially inflating views through bots or fake traffic. In relation to Alofoke and Planeta Alofoke specifically, we have seen no evidence whatsoever to support those claims. 
 
Brave Bison takes platform integrity, audience authenticity, and advertiser trust extremely seriously. We have absolutely no reason to believe that Alofoke has engaged in artificial view inflation, bot activity, or any attempt to manipulate YouTube viewership. We would not support or partner with any creator engaging in fraudulent audience practices. Based on our long-term relationship with Alofoke, the data available to us, and our experience working directly with YouTube and creators globally, we believe Alofoke is a trusted creator whose audience success is authentic. 
 
As digital audiences continue to expand across emerging and fast-growing markets, it is important that creators are judged fairly and based on evidence rather than speculation.
