Free plugin disables core block margin controls
Plugin disables core block spacing and margin controls, so column and grid layouts need the paid Pro version.

What's going wrong
Some site owners report that Otter Blocks turns off the default WordPress block controls for spacing, including margins. Without margins, column and grid blocks lose much of their usefulness for building layouts, so users cannot arrange their pages as they expected in the standard editor. They feel the free plugin is pushing them toward the paid Pro tier, since the core features they expect from WordPress only come back there. Some say they will avoid the plugin and the related theme on future sites. This creates an opening for a lightweight add-on that restores core spacing controls on top of any block plugin, sold to designers who want layouts without a paid upgrade.
