Hello Luke,
Resolved:
I was manually deploying the gatsby site by drag and drop. To solve the issue, I connected my site with Github and proceeded to push through github to see if some information would be available to troubleshoot in the conosle. Fortunately, the issue with the ads.txt file is resolved and I can push my site through git.
The ads.txt is just a authorized digital sellers list. It can be viewed here: https://www.silvergoldpill.com/ads.txt
I’m really enjoying the ease of Netlify,
Thanks again.
