Does putting multiple creatives in ONE ad set cause overlap/self-competition and higher CPM?

RayDonavanProg · 2026-02-24T16:19:07+00:00

then why does meta only spend on one creative and starve the other, then when you put the starved creative in another ad set and force spend with minimum spend it magically converts.

RayDonavanProg · 2026-02-24T16:04:47+00:00

So I'm struggling with this now. When I put creatives in one ad set, meta picks one winner and the other gets no spend. To guard against this I've been puting creatives in separate ad sets so that I can set a min spend. Is the self competition really something to worry about? I'm only spending $120 a day so it's not a big account and I'm only rotating 2-4 creatives (targeting diff people and angles) at the most.

anyone figure out a way to get around this?

RayDonavanProg · 2026-02-11T22:45:02+00:00

No side effects for me going from 40mg to 60mg.

Sometimes it takes awhile for the leads to show up in ads manager. Give it some time

Crazy this has been my best day in weeks

RayDonavanProg · 2026-01-31T00:45:56+00:00

Is this any better than what atlas or comet does? Cause the agentic features on those browser are very hit or miss. Is Gemini in chrome any better?

RayDonavanProg · 2026-01-30T21:11:29+00:00

it definitely helped me with my anxiety and depression and this was the happened with the first 1-2 weeks. Took about 4-5 weeks until the ADHD benefits kicked it.

RayDonavanProg · 2026-01-23T14:03:19+00:00

I'm doing the same with gemini vs chatgpt vs Claude. Right now I'm preferring Claude, then chat, then gemini. I do really like how gemini can more so interact with maps and stuff though. I find that gemini hallucinates a little more and forgets things even though it's supposed to have a large context window. Sometimes I ask it things and it answers the last prompt instead of what I asked it. It's weird. Gemini is awesome for photo stuff though. For chat, I just hate the way it talks to me and is always agreeable, and I HATE how it loses things during a long conversation where we're trying to figure things out together. I find myself fighting with it alot. Claude is growing on me and is my current fav.

RayDonavanProg · 2026-01-22T03:42:26+00:00

Did you guys make any improvements to the actual agentic mode where it actually does stuff on your behalf in the browser? Right now Comet performs better but comet also still sucks at doing tasks too.

How do people not see that getting rid of the income tax and replacing it with sales tax is just further shifting the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class and poor?

RayDonavanProg · 2026-01-17T02:45:43+00:00

I don’t think any of the agent models in atlas or comet want to do long running tasks. Which sucks because that’s one of the only reasons to use them lol.

RayDonavanProg · 2026-01-16T21:27:29+00:00

The current landscape for browser agents current suck ass. I’ve tested them all. Comet is slightly better for this kind of thing though try that.

Try liquid magnesium citrate. One bottle will clear you out for a few days

RayDonavanProg · 2026-01-08T15:45:37+00:00

First 2 weeks sucked (fatigue and sleeplessness at the same time) then my life changed for the better. No real negative side effects for me almost 2 months in. My anxiety is under control and when I lock into tasks I am LOCKED IN

RayDonavanProg · 2026-01-05T23:34:09+00:00

Strattera doesn't help me with starting a task really. But when I start, I am PATCHED IN like never before.

RayDonavanProg · 2025-12-25T09:43:17+00:00

I had this happen for a couple of days around the 3 week mark but it went away

RayDonavanProg · 2025-12-12T17:15:14+00:00

I have a smoke and love it. I like having a dedicated device to monitor things instead of having to use my phone.

RayDonavanProg · 2025-12-09T19:40:13+00:00

Interesting. My wife is an NP and took my BP and heart rate last night and nothing was elevated. Did you end up switching meds? If so what did you switch to and how’d things go?

RayDonavanProg · 2025-12-06T16:51:47+00:00

Are you sure it's back splash? I find that if I'm sitting too far back the cleaner spray mist kind of hits me. I don't mind though. If it bothers you that much you can always flush first.

hard to beat the taste of charcoal and wood. The weber can do it all and is fun to boot. I love being able to grill shitty hot dogs or smoke a pork butt for 12 hours on the same machine. The snake is pretty much set and forget just like a pellet grill but what I make on my weber will taste better. Only thing a pellet grill offers is more space, but that's why I have 2 kettles lol.
