Andrew, thanks for sharing. I can’t even begin to tell you how many similar stories I’ve heard over the past few days and weeks.
So many people who have a genuine desire to use the platform as it’s intended have been shut down for now apparent reason. And I have to be honest, there is no other Facebook that I’ve found that affords the same opportunities and value — and I have tried many.
I have been starting to see a theme in some of the stories. I can see it in yours, and it certainly exists in mine. I’m still trying to fully flush it out, but it almost feels like Facebook is sending a message that you shouldn’t do TOO much business on Facebook lest one of them causes a violation (real or imagined) and the whole thing comes down. This puts agencies like yours and multi-business organizations like mine at a higher risk. Because we run different kinds of ads, for different kinds of products, the likelihood that something will get flagged in their AI is greater.
I can’t imagine this is something that Facebook wants, but it’s something I’m noticing more and more.
I hope they find a way to fix it. I know it can be frustrating, but I’ll never lose my gratitude for Facebook, and my love for the platform that has given so much opportunity. I hope we are both able to get back, and I hope they make good on what’s been done in the past (I know nothing really makes up for that lost revenue or stress).
