Been seeing multiple models drift today very far from context. @Meta AI & @grok examples attached... wonder what's going on...

Why does Codex insist using my browser history to pull up a page is better and quicker than just navigating from the ReadMe doc that has that URL in the cell for them? Basic report that takes me five min to pull and We're going on 45 minutes now out of Codex Messages for 3 hours...

These Meta ad alerts are free… detected 35 min before metastatus.com was updated. Push or Slack updates. (Link below) Good news is looks like we are coming back online and data is flowing back through again.

Ad buyers/agencies managing multiple ad accounts, what do you use to keep a quick pulse on the portfolio of accounts? I built this Portfolio view to keep tabs on all my accounts at a quick glance and see trends on metrics across accounts. Free in MAds.

1/New York just became the first US state to require advertisers to disclose AI-generated people in ads. It takes effect June 9, 2026. If you run paid media, you have days, not months. Here's what it actually means for your brand or agency. 🧵

Proud to say I didn’t use any AI for scripting this and might have came up with a new tagline for MAds. Enjoy your weekend. Hope you aren’t checking Ads Manager.

Magento used to have a group of stores (opting in to join) that would test features. It was specific to mobile. Then publish results for everyone to decide what they wanted to do. web.archive.org/web/20200807…

It was an a/b test that ran. I checked the conversion impact results, including your particular store and it was zero negative impact (slightly positive actually) when adjusting for confounders. But I do like how passionate you are about conversion numbers, so are we!

Why does this stuff happen?
Are we excluding Ads on Facebook Reels? Checked in Ads Manager, confirmed… shot up to second most popular placement in best performing ad set. No purchases…

If your FB Business Manager does not have 2FA on and more than one admin, fix it today. I have two friends who have had accounts hacked and access to accounts removed/held hostage over the past couple weeks. If you didn’t know, BM’s with additional admins makes other admins approve addition or deletion of other admins. Meaning two accounts must be hacked to take over this stuff…

Anyone got a screen recording? IG has been delaying CTAs popping up, this has been going on before the last couple days. Here are two examples showing the delay
Multiple reports from advertisers that @meta is delivering their ads without a CTA button 👀 Anyone else noticing it?

Meta AI & algorithm > You and vanity metrics That said, they still make mistakes. Goal is to catch them before they cost you more $$$.
Meta would probably perform better for most brands if marketers just stopped touching the account every 6 hours.   Brands still operate as if Meta needs constant supervision: Pause the ad, duplicate the ad set, force spend here, kill the creative after 12 hours.   Meanwhile, the algorithm is already reallocating spend in real time based on performance signals you can’t even see.   The platform is doing far more of the media buying automatically than most advertisers realize.   At this point, Meta is better at allocating budget than most humans.   That’s why overcomplicated account structures usually perform worse.   Every extra campaign, audience split, or isolated test fragments budget and introduces more opportunity for human error.   You end up starving winners before they ever get enough spend to work.   And the irony is that most advertisers say they trust the algorithm while constantly overriding it.   If an ad is winning spend, that’s the clearest signal in the account of performance.   And if an ad never gets delivery, forcing budget into it manually usually just leads to worse performance.   A lot of “optimization” today is really just advertisers interrupting the system before it has enough data to work.

I built a free mobile (and desktop) ads manager for Meta for people tired of babysitting Ads Manager all day. Looking for testers. Giving away 6 months of Pro free ($180-300 value) in exchange for a quick 15-minute feedback call. Official Meta API approval approved Shopify app. Comment or DM if interested.

I'm in power mode, but this change was easy @Replit. Would be great if you recognized it and auto cycled through modes based on questions or suggested.
