"Usuarios de especial relevancia" are treated as regulated audiovisual service providers when they cumulatively meet: (1) ≥€300,000 gross annual revenue from audiovisual activity, (2) ≥1,000,000 followers on a single video-sharing platform OR ≥2,000,000 followers across all platforms combined, and (3) ≥24 videos published in the previous year.
