Creación y Difusión de Contenido Web S.A. de C.V.[2] d/b/a Badabun is a Mexican audiovisual production company that creates digital content, primarily on YouTube. Badabun began in 2014 as a YouTube channel that uploaded videos such as top-ten lists and "street surveys" of members of the public, which often contained an element of humor.[3] In subsequent years, Badabun rapidly rose in popularity as many Internet celebrities shared and discussed its content. It has created several video series, including Atrapando infieles, Entrevistamos A, Mansión del influencer, and Exponiendo infieles, the last of which is one of their most popular productions.[4] They have had internet personalities such as Alex Flores, Daniel Alfaro, and Lizbeth Rodríguez partner with their channel.[5] In the 2019 edition of YouTube's video series YouTube Rewind, Badabun was listed as the most popular Spanish-language channel on the site.[6]

Badabun has received a lot of criticism, because their content has been described as "sensationalistic" and "false",[7] and because Badabun employees have come forward with allegations of workplace harassment, sexual harassment, and homophobia within the company.[5]
