Does this video represent our hobby well?!?!

Hey guys!

I had the opportunity to help create this viral 1-minute video on Nas Daily all about the reef aquarium hobby!

Do you think I did our hobby justice?

 

[Frikkie]

Seriously? This video is either a joke(not funny) or a very misleading way to get people to join the hobby... Make money off of corals? Meh...

I've enjoyed your videos for many years

@Frikkie this is exactly why I'm asking...

Because I was just there to consult on what was true/ information.

But what he found most interesting about everything was the money behind coral vending. He chose to angle the video that way to get the most views.

Obviously we have a passion for the animals but doesn't money also drive this hobby in many ways and makes much of it possible?

 

[smiley28]

For your part in the video I think you did good.

 

[brandon429]

Sure I think that video is just fine. I had a horrible invasion of red mushrooms taking over my whole reef and were they bounce mushrooms taking over, that would be opposite of a problem it would be an investment.


Good video and well produced and duration is in line with viral vids I say good going.

Some people may get into the hobby thinking they are gonna make money, then find out how expensive/difficult the hobby is. They will fail and be out.
Some may have the knack and find success and actually make some money.
Some will get into it and realize they don’t want anything more than to just have their own personal tanks and not try to do it for profit.
Any way it goes the awareness it brings about corals will be beneficial in my opinion. Funny video. [emoji106]

It's a cool video.

Is it accurate? no? but there’s some truth to every joke...it was a comical video

 

[McMullen]

The video itself was great!
Not the angle that I could get behind personally, but visually well done!

The money propaganda in the video only made the hobby look more money driven. All the way from coral prices to all the equipment involved, plus operating cost. It influences higher price tags for the hobby in return makes this hobby more unavaliable to more people thinking of getting involved in this hobby /obsession .
I wished I didn't play this video..
The misleading money topic killed for me ..

I loved the video. Any media platform that introduces 1+ million people to our hobby is good!

I personally loved it man! Great job. I try not to take everything I watch too seriously so the money part of it didn't bother me.
