Ángel David Revilla (Spanish: [ˈaŋxel daˈβið reˈβiʎa]; born on July 16, 1982) better known as Dross Rotzank or Dross, is a Venezuelan journalist, writer, blogger and YouTuber. He is currently located in Argentina.[3] He began writing game reviews for websites like Meristation and GameFAQs, then moved to blogging on his own site El Diario de Dross (The Diary of Dross).
Career
DrossRotzank opened his YouTube in 2006. Most of his first videos are no longer available. In 2007, he relocated to Buenos Aires, Argentina where he continued to upload content to his YouTube account. His previous content mostly consisted of comedy vlogs, and occasionally gaming. In late 2013, Dross, aged 31, decided to change the topic of his channel focusing on horror topics, including disturbing mysteries and facts, Top videos (usually Top 7s), conspiracies, etc. Dross has also been uploading videos with horror topics before changing his channel's main focus. These videos, known as "Dross cuenta 3 historias de terror" (Dross tells 3 horror stories), remain as one of the very few previous sections on his channel that continue to be released, which are seldomly released throughout the year. Currently, his most viewed video is "Las 7 cosas más asquerosas encontradas en comidas de McDonalds", with over 30 million views, in which he makes a countdown of the most disgusting things that have been accidentally served in McDonald's food.
When DrossRotzank reached 8 million subscribers, he became the most subscribed horror-genre user on YouTube
Former videos
He used to make videos about cotidian topics with black topics and trolls.
YouTube schedule
DrossRotzank releases videos three times a week. From Monday to Friday, he usually uploads videos consisting of horror stories, and on Sunday, he uploads a "Top 7" video. Occasionally, a video consisting of opinions about an ongoing event may be uploaded in place of the former, and his "Dross cuenta 3 historias de terror" are also uploaded in a similar pattern, but at much rarer intervals throughout the year. As of October 2016, his YouTube channel has over 9.6 million subscribers.[4] His secondary channel called Los Vlogs de Dross releases one video per month talking about various topics, likely his formers streamings via YouNow.
Other work
In 2015, Dross participated in a project called "Dross Dark Tales of Terror", where he tells some contemporanean horror stories.
Career as a writer
In Summer 2015, DrossRotzank announced that he is working on a novel, which was subsequently released a few months later. The book, Luna de Plutón (in English Pluto's Moon), published by Planeta in Spain and Latin America, became a best seller in a few weeks.[5] His second book, El Festival de la Blasfemia (in English The Blasphemy's Festival) was released in early 2016.
