Confirming: no, I'm not aware of any Meta plan to help small advertisers. Their earnings calls celebrate rising ad prices. Their product direction is more automation, less control. Nothing in their public roadmap says "make it cheaper for businesses."

And you're right — it's not your fault. The auction got pricier, the algorithm changed, privacy killed targeting, creative burns out 3x faster. None of that is on you.

But I'd add one thing: "not our fault" and "nothing we can do" aren't the same. Saturday proved the game is still winnable — just harder, with less margin. That's the whole point of tomorrow's review: figure out if the math works for *you*, not whether Meta's going to save us.

How’s performance for everyone today? Saturday was phenomenal and I was starting to get optimistic about the platform again. Sunday was pretty tough and today everting flatlined. Is there another outage? Is anyone having good results? Fashion industry spending about $600 per day.

How’s it looking out there today? $364 yesterday with 2 sales!

I’m honestly curious if anyone and I mean anyone is seeing good or exceptional results with Meta right now. Is anyone seeing better results with Google compared to Meta? Meta used to be king, but it just seems like it’s going to completely different direction.

I previously ran ads on Facebook for several years and I had a million dollar brand. I spent hundreds of thousands on ads spend the platform. Ultimately, the business failed between the economy and the huge shift on Facebook. I lost everything. I’m starting over with a new brand, but it’s in the same industry, women’s fashion. I’ve been running ads for 3-4 days. I’ve spent about $500 with 0 sales. I have a traffic campaign running, but I’m not putting much into it. The pixel is cold, but I have 3 campaigns running, all set up for sales. Any advice? I don’t want to leave it and let it blow through money if it’s not getting any conversions.

How long is it taking new campaigns to start running?

Shopify is completely down for most users nationwide. Pausing my ads after noticing I wasn’t getting any conversions. Shopify is completely down. 😔

I’ve been having this issue for months now, but I don’t have a single sale after 1 PM and it’s almost every single day. I killed it in the morning and then everything crashes out.

Today was the day the API update was suppose to be completely rolled out. Performance seems better so far. I just hope it continues today. How’s it looking out there?

Nothing makes sense anymore! Photos attached.

I have 4 campaigns running and it said I have 0 visitors on my website. Anyone having issues today?

What’s working better for everyone out there? I’m having some of the worst performance I’ve ever seen on this platform.

I seem to be having the best day I’ve had in MONTHS. I’m hoping it holds strong. How’s it looking out there for everyone else?

I think it’s interesting Meta is forcing everyone into value of conversion instead of number of conversions. I think it’s a way for them to make us feel okay with CPM and CPP increasing. Thoughts?

How’s it going out there so far today? What’s everyone seeing this holiday weekend?

I truly have no idea what’s going on with Meta at this point but it’s absolutely brutal. $500 spent and only $17 in sales. I went from doing $1 million last year to be in completely leveled. Am I the only person seeing this. I’m in women’s fashion in the United States.

My business is slowly clasping this year. We went from 1 million in sales last year to badly 200,000 this year. We started seeing a huge decline in March and we haven’t recovered. We’ve had several good days here and there, but nothing consistent. Are there any platforms working for people right now? We’re in women’s clothing and accessories. We have Google and we’re about to give Pinterest a go, but I have no idea how much I need to be spending on either and what kind of results I should expect. I tried TikTok, but that was a huge flop. We had several fraudulent orders. Thanks!

Last year on this day I spent $2,500 and did $7,500 in sales, this year I’m upside down on spend and I only have $300 in sales. Meta is broken and it’s not coming back from the looks of it.

I haven’t had a single conversion reported in ad manager today. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

I had my ads turned off for a couple of weeks, and I’ve never had to turn my ads off until this year and I’ve been running ads for about six years now. Performance was just catastrophic. I turned them back on for the first time yesterday and things are still looking slightly grim, but I’m trying to be patient and let them work their way out of the learning phase before I make a decision, but I’m just curious how it’s going out there for everyone else.
