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.
