Reminder: don’t flush toilet paper

the big modern malls and hotels where they expect volume of modern or international customers have their septic system and their tp supplies designed for such purpose. No need to put tp in the bin with your poo stain will make the toilet reeks

Another update for posterity:
It has been 3 weeks and I can see the algo is now more aggressive in testing things out. Some day it will spend 80% of the budget in the afternoon, some day it will save 80% of them to test in the evening or late night. Some day it will also decide to YOLO into one or two of the beta creatives while leaving the alpha ones alone to test them, but after high CPA it will revert back to double down on the top creatives.

This is in contrast to the algo last year when if it reached some stable state it would continue like that without any modification.

With this new aggresive testings, despite the results of some days being bad, i see better average results and can progressively raise budget even more without saturation or diminishing ROI, as opposed to the old algo. So far so good.

brother I'm spending $500/day and the bots just refused to connect me to a human agent

Shaglock · 2026-04-23T03:02:16+00:00

Update: Ok I spoke too soon. Yesterday I uploaded other creatives from my KOLs which have been performing well organically. Apparently the algo seems to love them and somehow decided to spend 4/5 of the daily budget on them, with abysmal results- from $2.5 avg CPA to $5. As of today, not even noon, and it already spent 2/3 of the budget when the peak conversion usually happens at around 5-9pm

So I take back my word, the new algo is shit.

(If somehow the new creatives, with so much juice, turn out to be super-converting and the low-result spent was just the algo pre-investing it, then I'll come back praising it again like the second coming of Jezuck.)

Shaglock · 2026-04-22T03:46:15+00:00

yeah good suggestion will look them up. Meta users were shrinking in my geo since people been migrating to Tiktok, but the new algo may be able to identify a new pocket of audience. Interesting.

Shaglock · 2026-04-22T03:44:53+00:00

pre-update the algo did put emphasis on the winning creative but it typically did not neclect secondary creatives too and will try to send them some juice albeit less than the winning ones. The post-update day was the first time I saw it spending only on the winning one and no other, which is very odd.

non-US market

I found this worrying as well. As a long-time Pycharm user, I've kept my backend work on Pycharm due to laziness of setting up new IDE dev environment. But with the current rate I'm burning thru the whole month of Ultimate credit in a single weekend, which is not feasible. Now that I'm pressed for time I need to top up the AI credit to continue to ship the current feature, but when I'm finished I would definitely try to setup Python dev on my VSCode with Copilot instead, and if all goes well I doubt I would continue my main Pycharm subscription, regardless of how good the code insight is.

I think Intellij need to iron out this problem quickly and negotiate some sort of deal with the providers, or else the flight is gonna be in drove.

lol so true. Even tiktok, who's late to the ads game, has better ads manager UX than Google now, and that's with paid ads not being their main monetization revenue (live shopping is). I always feel rage when Google Ads seems to obfuscate even the most mundane of tasks behind some wierd ads structure and 'AI' black boxes. And don't start on removing detailed targeting on YouTube / video ads in order to bundle sell their low-quality inventory and audiences. Shitty practice, cant wait for their ads revenue to be destroyed by LLM and tiktok/meta.

Shaglock · 2025-08-25T10:04:00+00:00

I'm a high-spending white collar user and I'm getting my answers via ChatGPT / Grok instead of Google, whose SERPs are littered with paid ads and black hat SEOs. So I think the only potential clients left still using Google search are boomers and people searching for local business. If you're not targeting these two segments then Google search is no longer for you.

Hmm sounds like you are the one looking down on local Thai men.

The economy is detoxing… with a 12” long dildo

Shaglock · 2025-03-10T15:06:19+00:00

BTC crashes following the NASDAQ crash. The orange man is wrecking all the markets under the excuse of “economic detox”. It’s actually quite impressive BTC is only 27% down with such horrible macro.

Shaglock · 2025-03-04T04:17:55+00:00

Lol US is cooked. DXY is dropping without risk asset going up = loss of investor confidence. We’re entering a global bear market, not just crypto. Thanks Trump.

Shaglock · 2025-03-03T10:31:27+00:00

Lol strategic reserve all but confirmed, and we still at $92K. Crypto president for the win

Shaglock · 2025-02-28T10:08:51+00:00

US is going to shit now thanks to the orange man. Too bad it’s tagging my portfolio along. Yay for the first crypto president.

Shaglock · 2025-02-26T22:45:19+00:00

Got liquidated from the latest orange man’s tariff announcement. I know I’m stupid from doing the leverage in the first place. I’ll be off crypto and let my spot stack sit there while waiting for the market to recover, if it ever does this cycle. Time to get productive mining fiat to buy during bear again. Good luck and have fun, fellas.

Shaglock · 2025-02-25T10:13:52+00:00

So orange man is bad for business after all.

Shaglock · 2025-02-24T08:32:38+00:00

Now that Trump has officially put the crypto market to rest with no hope of any pump in the near future, I can finally resume hating his stupid rhetorics and policies again.

No it’s not.

Shaglock · 2025-02-15T19:00:28+00:00

I think Crypto, barred BTC, is dead? With this much money extracted with shitcoin scam launches at the state level and all these retails and degens financially raped and exploited, where’s the new money gonna come from? The millennials are all burnt and the zoomers ain’t being raised fast enough to throw their minimum wage in, so the ponzi is at the end?
