Inda approached the creation of this media outlet after leaving his position as deputy editor of the newspaper El Mundo,[2] contributing €500,000 of capital, corresponding to the compensation received after his departure. The following year, Okdiario's publishing company received €300,000 from the state public entity ENISA in the form of a participative loan on advantageous terms, despite its outstanding debts.[3]

The audience measurement company Comscore placed the number of Okdiario visits in May 2021 at 12 million, consolidating it as the eighth most viewed digital media outlet in Spain.[4]

Okdiario is known for promoting falsehoods[5][6] and has been at the forefront of several controversies related to misinforming and fabricating stories.[7][8][9] According to a study by the University of Valencia published in November 2017, it is Spain's worst rated media outlet.[10]
