To be a pushing sales video you need to be the only seller? Herb chambers Honda video commercials push Hondas, but you can buy them elsewhere.
I was one of those folks. Previous videos have been presented in a way that even influenced a seasoned vet into thinking there are better, scientifically proven, ways to go about reefing. Especially when going more into the sps dominated world. I have a bitter taste in my mouth from several different things, but mainly the hidden behind the scenes failures they had and didn’t share along the way. Although I’ve been told if you were on someone’s personal Facebook page, you got the scoop. There also have been honest mistakes that never get corrected. Well, they do, eventually in another two hour year end video that if you blinked you missed it.
My thoughts exactly. This guy and his company have put out more education on reefing than any other, but it seems like every time he opens his mouth there is someone complaining he's trying to sell stuff. He's way more knowledgeable and intelligent than most on the forum.
…and they do. I did. Some are prefaced with quote this is an experiment and we test on our tanks so you don’t have to. While others are presented, wether intentional or not, as scientifically proven fact. It can be hard to discern, and when you fail, you become a sceptic and cynic
Interesting thoughts. They are hobbyists sharing their knowledge like many other YouTube channels in the age of YouTube. Yes there’s lots of science to this hobby (i.e. nitrogen cycle, trace elements, etc.) but I think it’s more about personal experiences and finding what works for you because it’s not one size fits all different things equal success. It’s not like baking where you have to be exact or you mess your recipe up lol. I know when I was first starting I watched their videos and learned so much. Their customer service hotline is also amazing and they are very knowledgeable and I definitely called them one too many times. And I love their social media person lol we regularly message. But again I’m a different generation (Gen Z the social media age) than most people on here and have not been in this hobby for 30 plus years before the internet.
THIS 1000%!! I didn’t think my thread would become a large discussion/argument.
And so the age old question rears it's ugly head ... who pays for the knowledge?
Is that a bad thing? To discuss, question, and share differing opinions? I find more issue with confirmation bias fishing. I welcome others opinions, good, bad, indifferent. I don’t have to agree with everything, no one does, I’d rather they didn’t. Not much is gained when everyone closes their mind.
Not necessarily but I didn’t realize this is what so many of you thought. Read my recent post.
They do, without a doubt have tremendous customer support in my experience. I wish the hold times were better but that’s as it’s very difficult for me to order online as I’m new to being mostly blind and still learning the ins and outs of screen readers and website accessibility. So I’m calling to just place an order, not for advice, but the wait is the same either way.
I am only trolling aquabiomics... brs is ok in my troll book.
You have a book? I didn’t think trolls could read! Ha
Just because I have a book does not mean that I can read it...
