Get Serious about Reefing with Ryan Batcheller’s New Channel, Serious Reefs!

I got addicted to his vids on BRS TV …this new unbiasd content will be fun to watch …going there now

I hope this means that the episodes won't just be infomercials to sell BRS products like so many of the others videos are.

He said it’s not, and is solely reliant on private funding from the community. I guess we will see, but I know most people feel information should be free and don’t like to pay to see videos. But making videos does cost money and a lot of time.

yeah, I just kind of lose interest when I see a table full of "new stuff" they are trying to sell.

I get they depend on the sales, I just think there are better ways to advertise, like at the end of the Informational Video give a list of Equipment used. Those who are serious about reefing will pay attention to that also. And maybe refrain from pushing products that will be discontinued within a year (Aquamax ConeS skimmers for example).

$9/month plus ads? You must be joking.

That is more expensive than Netflix.

Can’t have it both ways for a successful channel. Either you pay and watch unadulterated content, or sponsors pay and you watch a long advertisement.

I just hope the first guest or first topic is not tropic Marin, we know what the products. Nothing against Lou but I prefer to hear new stuff. I like him and Elliot working together.

The first series will be helping new hobbyists setup a tank that will work 100/100 times. No product pushing or sales. Just pure information. Do this and be successful.

well what was he doing before then?

Just a heads up, it is pay to play, only members will see the videos and membership is $10/month. That's how he's going to stay out of company pockets. Ahhh, just saw someone already said this.

I understand the need to monetize, but I'm not sure what makes people just jump to $9 minimum. Do people think their once a week videos have the same value as Netflix?

 

[Cichlid Dad]

Pay or don't pay. But to get access to his experience and knowledge unadulterated will be very helpful to the hobby. I would rather pay and know what I'm getting isn't to drive sales with a some information mixed in. If you have ever watched his BRS videos, you know he has gone through many changes in his reefing philosophy based on some pretty darn good experiments

Value will be personal to each individual.

Some months Netflix is worth the $15+. Most months it isn’t. I’m sure the same applies here.

For someone brand new, they can drop $10 a month and know they are getting correct information to help them.

Or they can do like many of us had to do and spend hundreds, if not thousands, of hours digging through the poop to find a gem. Some people enjoy that digging, some don’t.
