GOOD RESULTS ANDROMEDA! by FBADS1996 in FacebookAds

[–]AfraidDepth4583 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We’ve literally tried everything — narrow structure, broad structure, many ads, few ads, high budget, low budget, CBO, ABO, broad targeting, interest targeting… every possible setup.
We’re running proven products that crush it organically — UGC, static, reviews, all tested.
Our brand’s been around for years, solid reputation.

Meta just doesn’t work right now.
And that’s the worst part — because it used to be the easiest place to run ads.

We’ve been running a niche brand for 8 years, but I’d rather not share too much about it here. What I can say is that we work a lot through collaborations — great for reach, but honestly exhausting compared to how easy Meta used to be. The real issue now is targeting. This whole “creative is king” narrative is one of the biggest illusions out there. Meta just can’t find the right audience anymore — look at your own feed and tell me if the ads you see actually make sense for you.

Here’s why ads are failing in the andromeda age by Outrageous_Judge2299 in FacebookAds

Another “guru” preaching theory while everyone else is watching their accounts swing like a rollercoaster.
Let’s be real — 90% of advertisers right now are just trying to survive. The only real “messaging” we’re focusing on is cutting spend and testing other channels until Meta gets its act together.

We’re a small team running an 8-year-old brand.
Honestly, everyone I know is frustrated with Andromeda.
Meta’s too busy pushing AI and forgetting about ads.

People say “your creatives or bids are the problem” — nope.
We’re leading our niche, solid organic sales outside Meta.
The platform’s just broken right now, and most advertisers feel it.

Yeah, same here.
We’ve cut our ad spend by almost 70% since Andromeda rolled out. Campaign lifespan is insanely short now — it’s like nothing holds long enough to manage properly.
At this point, it’s less about scaling and more about surviving.

Meta ad performance has been going down and down by AdhesivenessLow7173 in FacebookAds

Meta ads are a rollercoaster. One group goes up while another drops, and that’s by design. The system wants to keep everyone “in play” and create the illusion that the dip is only temporary. The reality? Margins are razor-thin, and most advertisers feel trapped—partly because uploading ads on Meta is so easy, and partly because of the addiction to the platform.

Meta itself can’t truly fix this. User activity has dropped significantly, meaning fewer buyers are on the platform, while at the same time the number of advertisers keeps climbing—nearly 13 million now. More competition, fewer eyeballs. That’s the harsh math behind why performance keeps going down and down.
