I don’t blame him for charging for content if his sponsors adverts are being blocked. But he should make a more informative message..

Hey I see your blocking adverts.... blah blah blah.


I guess it must have been recently implemented.

I’m never gonna pay for content. It should be free. If you wanna create your own Merch and sell that then that’s one thing. Too many other YouTubers out there creating good content.

Speaking of...give my Aussie friends over at Gallery Aquatica TV a sub!!! :tongue1:

I'm simply just not a fan of his content. I don't check it out even when it's free. I've never seen any insight or knowledge of value. What I see is a product placement, aka advertisement, that I have to tune in to see. I'll be damned before I seek out more advertisements.

But how does the water stay in their tanks? They're upside down.

It was my ad blocker.

Apparently at some point ReefBuilders implemented ad block detection.

Where they failed is not clearly identifying that ad blocking was detected and you’re being asked to buy a subscription due to your ad blocking or to turn ad blocking off for the site to continue to use for free.

Had he/they put some type of verbiage like that, this thread would have never been created.
