I have lots of side projects that I could turn into content, but I have absolutely no good time to edit and manage the content online.
I could record the raw material while I make things, but I currently have 2 other jobs so I have little time available to edit and manage it.

What could I do?

I’m trying to figure out whether this is affecting other creators because I’m getting absolutely nowhere with Meta.

I’m a monetized Facebook creator with about 74K followers. Before this started, my page had roughly 32 MILLION views in the previous 28 days, and my Reels normally get thousands/tens of thousands of views, with some reaching hundreds of thousands or millions.

Then, starting with my FIRST Reel on the morning of October 8, my Reel distribution basically fell off a cliff.

New Reels suddenly started getting roughly 100–600 views. Not one bad Reel. Not a couple flops. Essentially EVERY new Reel since the same cutoff. I’ve tested new content AND the same kinds of content that were performing normally immediately beforehand.

My page shows:

• No Page issues

• Recommendations ACTIVE

• Monetization ACTIVE

• Page is specifically marked Recommendable

• Still gaining followers

• Facebook literally just gave me Consistent Post Creator and Conversation Starter badges

There was no gradual decline. I went from normal distribution on Oct. 7 to dramatically reduced distribution beginning with the first Reel Oct. 8.

At the SAME TIME, I started seeing other weird Facebook problems:

• Monetization/Professional Dashboard errors and missing/delayed data

• Meta Verified gives me a “Switch to production build — you are NOT on a production version of the App” error, even though I’m using the regular Google Play version and am NOT enrolled in the beta

• Today I tried publishing two regular text posts and neither uploaded/published

And Meta Verified support is a whole separate dumpster fire.

I PAY for Meta Verified partly for the enhanced support. I opened a case about the Reel issue. The system told me a live specialist would join shortly.

Nobody did.

The system now says I already have an active case, so it blocks me from creating another one. The AI assistant says it cannot see my case ID and tells me the ID will be in my Support Inbox.

There is no case in my Support Inbox.

So I apparently have a case that Meta knows exists, that prevents me from opening another case, that I cannot access, whose case number Meta cannot give me, while the promised human support never arrives. 😂

I’ve submitted bug reports too. Still nothing.

I’m NOT claiming I know whether this is an algorithm change, outage, rollout issue, account/cohort bug, etc. I’m trying to see whether other creators are experiencing the same pattern around the same dates.

If you’re a creator experiencing this, please tell me:

When did your reach drop?

What were your normal Reel views vs. now?

Are text/photo posts affected too?

Any Professional Dashboard or monetization glitches?

Does Page Status show any restrictions?

Are you Meta Verified, and is support actually working for you?

If a bunch of us suddenly fell off the same cliff around Oct. 8 while our accounts remain in good standing, I’d REALLY like to document it.

Because right now Meta’s troubleshooting strategy appears to be:

“Everything looks great! Your Page is recommendable! 🥰”

proceeds to recommend my Reels to approximately twelve people

WHAT IS HAPPENING OVER THERE? 😂😭

Hey guys, just curious how you all keep up with trends on TikTok and Instagram?

I'm talking trending sounds, cool transitions, editing styles, viral formats, UGC ideas etc.

Do you use any specific websites, tools or accounts to find this stuff? Or is it literally just scrolling through TikTok and Reels until you find something?

Trying to find a better way to spot trends early rather than when everyone's already doing them lol.

Hi, I’ve started content creation,
I uploaded 2 reels about
10/10 things to do….

1. One was 10/10 things to do in clg to completely destroy your mental health

2. 10/10 things to do before 2026 ends to become a better version of yourself

Both got like 3k views and I think it did good,

I think I need to post similar,
But I’m not getting enough ides for 10/10 content

Do you have anything in mind? Please help

I am looking to find micro influencers who are parents to 6-12 years old kid to review and post about my service focusing on screen free immersive storytelling through letters.

I have tried using keywords to look up creators on instagram but it’s inefficient and slow. Is there a sub or a better way to find micro influencers for my desired niche?

You guys have CPA? What are some tax write offs you use?

I mainly post on YouTube. I’ve started about 3 years ago and I post mainly multi-fandom commentary. Recently my views have not been the same, I usually get atleast 1K views on shorts within 24 hours which I was happy about but recently my views gone down to about 20 views in a week. My content stayed pretty much the same, I use similar hashtags for all my shorts like (#animation #fandom) but now it seems like my shorts are getting no views. I’ve been trying to be consistent with content because I know motivation isn’t the only key to being successful, but I have been trying to post everyday with similar content that I always do and it seems like it all flopped. I just would like some methods or criticism with what I am doing and/or what I should do to actually become “popular” (My goal is 1,000 subs)

It’s urgent guys please tell
