Inda approached the creation of this media outlet after leaving his position as deputy editor of the newspaper El Mundo,[6] 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 [es] in the form of a participative loan on advantageous terms, despite its outstanding debts.[7]

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.[8][self-published source]

Okdiario is known for promoting falsehoods[9][10] and has been at the forefront of several controversies related to misinforming and fabricating stories.[11][12][13] According to a study by the University of Valencia published in November 2017, it is Spain's worst rated media outlet.[14]
