The only solution to this is not giving a fck, I don’t give a shit, if you are around in Ecom for several years you get more and more nonchalant and resilient. Do not build on one channel only, make sure to be omni channel and use all possible ways to balance your traffic and LTV but sometimes the performance just drops for a few days across a platform or a few but the goal is to not give a fck, it will get better again and non of this shit are real problems, this is the first world problem visualisation par excellence
got off a call yesterday with a guy running 7 brands
man sounded so pissed.
genuinely venting the whole time.
meta had wiped out results across every single one of his brands in the last few weeks and he had no idea what hit him
70-80% of his budget is sitting on facebook across 7 businesses
one platform bug and now 7 businesses are bleeding at the same time
you know what's insane, though? this isn't new
meta does this every single year, and brands just normalize it…
> complain on twitter for a week
> meta gets a bit better
> go right back to dumping everything into facebook like nothing happened
it's like having one key to your house. someone warns you to get a spare, you think about it, never do it, then one day you lose that key, and you're locked outside in the middle of winter, shivering.
the comfort of "it's working right now" always wins until it doesn't
now, the guy's goal for the rest of 2026 is to flip everything.
make google the main channel, push meta to secondary
right call. just wish it didn't take 7 businesses nearly collapsing to get there
when you have google running as a foundation and meta breaks, you go from $10k a day to maybe $7k
annoying, but you survive
when meta is all you have, and it breaks, you go from $10k to $100
that's zuck literally putting your brand on life support, and he just doesn't care
