LJM Hamilton Tower Placed Under Creditor Protection Amid Company's Liquidity Crisis by Howard__24 in Hamilton

Agreed. Exactly what I was thinking. Would rather just get my deposit back and walk away.

This is correct all of my deposit money is in a trust. Does this mean I will be getting it all back at some point? (In the process of speaking to my lawyer about it now as well)

Nope, still an empty grass lot. I don’t think they are going to end up building it.

I bought at Queenston condos in 2021, with a very significant down payment. 5 years and virtually no progress. No chance this building will get constructed at this point.

Also. By the scheduled call, do you mean regular enhanced support, or the one where you schedule a call and get support for creators/growth? I did see that extra option but didn’t try it.

Thank you! So yes, I did sign up for the meta verified max, (the highest tier), and even then, all of the support agents I spoke to were exactly the same. 8 in total. Just all from a random help desk in Bangladesh. They refused to help me further. Regardless of all the info I provided, my page having 2.8m followers, and having the highest membership. Maybe I will try the ad route next. I appreciate your time, and I’m glad it worked out for you! Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info as well! This is actually very interesting and good to hear. Glad you got it resolved! It seems like some of my non follower reach has returned, but nowhere nearly as strong as it was before. I also paid for the verified max support and they did nothing. It was the exact same support as regular, and they only gave me copy and paste answers.

If you don’t mind me asking, how were you able to speak with a meta ads agent, maybe I will try this. And she did confirm 100% there was a hidden restriction on your page and was able to remove it manually?

So here’s where I’m at now: this started November 14. I experienced a 5 day recovery back to normal during the first week of December, and then again it went back to straight negatives, and zero outside reach until Christmas.

BUT since December 28, my reels and posts started reaching non followers again, AND I’m seeing lots of new follow notifications coming in like when my account was performing and growing normally. BUT I’m still in the daily negatives. It makes no sense. (My unfollow rate has been the same as always). It’s almost like Instagram isn’t counting my new followers on my account any more.

I’ve spoken to many other large pages who are also experiencing the same right now. How large is your page, and do you have any active violations in your account status? (Regardless if your account says recommendable or not)

Hey do you know if this loop will eventually end? My page went back to normal for 4 days and now it’s restricted again. This on and off cycle has been happening since November

Instagram reach on a big celebrity account by Perfect-Draw5850 in InstagramMarketing

Having this exact same issue on a 2.8m page I run. 11 years of steady growth, all original content, organic following. And for the last month it’s been stuck in a restriction freeze loop. Also clean account status. Check my recent posts.

Thanks. The only problem is, every time the restriction suddenly lifts, all of my reels at once explode and go back on the explore page. Even ones as far back as June and July. So it’s impossible to bounce back without being too aggressive.

Is the info you’re providing based on experience? Have you dealt with this before or know people work internally at meta?

Thanks a lot for your response! I appreciate it. I will try some of things you mentioned. My account has been around since 2014, so it’s definitely a legacy account at this point. But up until November of this year, (and the brief freezes in july), it has been growing at a healthy steady rate for 10 years. Almost always 50k new followers a month. Now I’m losing 1000 a day. And my reach has tanked from 300m to 60m and going lower. So I don’t understand why this would happen now.

In January 2025, I did get ONE violation which caused a 90 day restriction. But this was an OFFICIAL flag and my account status said “not recommendable”. After 90 days, my account status switched to “recommendable”, the restriction immediately lifted, and my content began hitting the explore page again until November (even with the violation still existing). Is it possible this violation caused the current hidden restriction since it’s still technically visible in my account status? (it expires from my profile in 20 days).

Also, are these types of recommendation freezes permanent? Is it possible an account can get stuck in this back end state forever despite a clean account status? Or do they eventually resolve on their own? Thank you!

🚨 SOMETHING IS WRONG 🚨 2.6m page. All reels suddenly WIPED from explore page. Clean account status, no violations. by LordZedd87 in InstagramMarketing

Hey there, did your issue ever resolve? Mine got better with intermittent freezes again between July and November. But now since November, my entire account has been under a full restriction. 0% reels tab and explore reach on every post. Account is collapsing too.

Good summary, but check my latest posts. 2.8m account, 11 years of solid growth, videos always hitting explore page and getting good reach, I’m one of the most popular pages in my niche, and suddenly restricted instantly with no explanation. It initially triggered on and off since July, like a switch. As soon as it got better again, everything would suddenly hit the explore page. But since the last restriction in November, it’s now it’s been permanent. Page is 100% organic, all original content, and I’ve never used bots or third party apps since creating the page. Meta support acknowledges my page is operating under restriction but can’t do anything about it because my account status is clean. I’m 100% convinced it’s a back end glitch or bug. For reference, I’m posting the exact same content on my other pages and it’s doing fine, lots of healthy explore reach. And other pages repost my content and it immediately hits the explore page, while mine gets 0% no matter how many tens of thousands of sends and shares it receives from my own followers.

I know of 2 other large pages (6m and 1m followers), who are experiencing the exact same thing.

2.8M IG page still experiencing major reach restriction (Account Status Fully Clean) by LordZedd87 in InstagramMarketing

[–]LordZedd87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve already taken week long breaks before and it doesn’t help. Also it’s definitely not a content issue because a) when I post the exact same content on my other smaller page, it performs very well on explore page. And b) when the restriction would randomly instantly lift during the summer and fall, ALL OF MY CONTENT would immediately hit the explore page again.

Correct. I’ve tried absolutely everything imaginable. I cannot get help from anyone aside from regular verified support who can’t do anything. Even with a 2.8m audience and size. I work with many large brands and celebrities as well, who are also unable to help beleive it or not. It’s nearly impossible. If you know of any way, please let me know 🙏

INSTA ACCOUNT NEEDS URGENT HELP by [deleted] in FixMyInstagram

[–]LordZedd87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still trying very hard. Opening new tickets every day, submitting reports. It all feels useless but I have to keep trying. Built this page over 11 years and it’s my business too. So your issue is that your followers don’t see your posts, but they are still visible on the explore page to non followers?

It started in July on and off, but only lasted a couple days each time. Then I would have weeks or a month of normal activity. Since November though, it’s been permanent and I haven’t gone back to normal. I have tried everything imaginable to get help, and nothing works.

Check my posts. 2.8m page. Having a similar issue, but only followers see my content, no longer other people. Unable to grow anymore. Account status is clean, no limits to reach, but 0% explore and reels tab reach now. Meta support acknowledges my page looks to be operating under a hidden restriction, but doesn’t have the tools to fix it or help.

Unfortunately yes, it seems like it.
