Posted by Phobia The thing that I don't like about this show is that it gives literally the exact location of the site. Super easy for people to find. Even if it was well known before, this pretty much put the nail in the coffin in terms of that. In my show I try to make sure you can't tell where the location is at. This is probably why most explorers are against an urbex show.

This is a tough call... I think there is a fine line when it comes to this. These locations (at least the first two) are not anything really secret at this point. Still not 100% cool I guess to name drop everything though, but without the name it is hard for an audience to really get an appreciation for the place in question. Now, I suppose for this series, it was only one guy talking about the history so he simply could have used a pseudonym with the same outcome.
Another thing that is even more sketchy is not only naming the location, but also giving/showing entrances. That combo together can be way more lethal than simply name dropping these places.
Like I said it's a touchy subject, and I've seen both cases made on this site... some videos/photos had names before that most members loved, while others got torn to shreds by members. It depends on the location, and the subject matter. This one was a nice mix of history and a bit of exploring.
Now, if he starts name dropping more pristine and secretive places, I'd be right with you on that.
