@herrmanndigital I’m unable to upload video ads nor duplicate existing ads. Video ads are stuck in processing. This is for multiple ad accounts. Anyone seeing this as well?
In the most important month of the year Meta has chosen to continue pushing code and delivering arguably the buggiest BFCM season I can remember.
In the months of Sept-Nov there has been essentially a medium to major bug on the ad platform every week, EVERY WEEK.
Someone the other day asked why I'm critical of Meta so much despite it essentially providing many of us jobs. I'm critical because Meta has lost their way and it's high time they get back on the saddle.
Meta has used us as guinea pigs this year in training their AI models. We know this. Between the Advantage+ role outs, AI enhancements, and Gen AI tools Meta has completely transformed Ads Manager / Ad Delivery.
But along the way came bugs. It comes with the territory, after all this is a company that moves fast, breaks things remember. However this year was so much more.
Do I blame Meta for ad performance as in my CPA? Not fully... I still believe it's far more related to the economy than say Meta's delivery bugs. However the delivery bugs, ad disruptions, AI tools have largely created problems for advertisers and led to so many wasted man hours fixing and retooling because of it.
I'd imagine that in 2025 we've collectively spent a year's worth of wasted time identifying, configuring, toggling, and turning off Meta's AI Enhancements. And I was part of the Alpha for ASC+! I usually have all AI enhancements on, but recently have paid the price with all the bugs. Now clients want them off.
This is how we as advertisers lose trust and faith in Meta.
Meta is the most powerful tool for DTC advertisers in middle and bottom of funnel that none of us will turn it off despite all the issues that Meta has.
Meta knows this and that's the problem and why I'm critical.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Normally I'd wait for stat sig here, but having my mentor pass link in my bio is doing me no favors here.
It actually cost me about 10 followers during the test.
I'm looking for a male UGC creator that is Canadian. No editing required, just filming a testimonial video (script will be provided). Please DM me if interested!
I just finished creating a MASSIVE Google Sheet that has over 200 hook templates for ad hooks or organic videos (it's categorized for each).

My current belief:
Working on 1 good business for 10 years will likely beat working on 10 decent things for 1 year each.
Focus is hard.
But I think working on 1 thing for a long time will create way more value than working on 10 things for short time.
Ever since I got back on dating apps, I’ve been surprised by how many amazing single women there are. I thought that the dating pool got worse in your mid-30s but it drastically improves.
@heyitsalexP I did it at age 19. Lived in France for 6 months working as an au pair. After I was quite fluent orally but didn’t know how to write many of the words I was saying, so I took a year long certificate in university to grasp spelling & grammar. Now completely bilingual in French
If you became fluent in a second (or third!) language as an adult, how did you do it?
Fluent = carrying on a full conversation with an adult native speaker without issue.
I have nutritionist call me daily.
Teaches me, helps me plan my day. Kinda changed my life.
I hit all my fitness goals this year cuz of it.
Thinking of doing a 6 month challenge where you, my followers, can do a 6 month challenge with me + you get a nutritionist.
Intersted?
@krausesuzy It also makes me not trust them because they say you’ll love it then backtrack. They don’t sound too confident in their choices. I bet someone thought it was a good way to market in a recession.
Anyone else have this error when trying to login to Facebook?
Thought it would resolve itself but its been 4 weeks now. Tried clearing cache, different browsers, devices...
@facebook@meta
@adswithleah It was honesty to share - there's so much positivity on Twitter and i definitely fall prey to the compare game.
Yeah it was incredible to see the support of the community 🤯
Dang what a horrible BF for sales. 🤯😭
I did all the things to prepare, teased the deals, sent the emails, and texts...
Definitely the worst BF ever for RW.
And this might mean the end is coming soon for the RW shop. I have some serious thinking about the future to do
@adswithleah@kirchnr Your original comment never mentioned anything about short term tricks vs long term work.
You’re just adding legs to your argument now.
@CeeBeeno@kirchnr There’s a big difference between someone who can provide a short term ROI with cheap tricks and someone who does quality work and will improve the bottom line long term
