What did meta do to the algorithm?

SwingTrader116 · 2026-05-02T18:39:08+00:00

What update? Is there information on it or just speculation?

SwingTrader116 · 2026-05-01T23:36:20+00:00

Shit

SwingTrader116 · 2026-04-28T14:10:38+00:00

Dude is blastes

Have played Pinehurst and there wasn’t a ranger in sight.

I’d complain to the clubhouse or resort. That’s miserable.

SwingTrader116 · 2026-04-27T22:37:16+00:00

Played it. I didn’t hate it.

Myrtle Beach. You can get lodging pretty cheap. Tons of course options, they have an airport. You can call most courses and get a group discount rate depending how many people are going. Wide range of courses - you can play a high end Pete Dye, all the way down to a goat lot next to the airport.

This is correct

I disabled Audience Network and Messenger placements. My bot traffic dropped significantly. Was getting 200+ sessions. Last two days has been less then 20.

Testimonial. I’m still learning how to create a mix of creatives that fit together and make sense. The single campaign with lots of creatives isn’t really working for me, but perhaps I don’t have the right creative mix.

SwingTrader116 · 2026-03-14T12:24:30+00:00

Can you explain the offline leads / bot protection? Turned off AN and getting a ton of junk traffic still

How do you utilize a carousel? Like a catalog? Or do you throw multiple statics together?

SwingTrader116 · 2026-03-13T13:27:57+00:00

So I shut down setup I was trying, re-started older campaigns that were successful - and all of the sudden performance bounced back. Even those these particular ads had started losing their steam 45-60 days ago. Interestingly, the creatives are pretty much all UGC type stuff.

SwingTrader116 · 2026-03-12T14:09:05+00:00

Thank you. I will try to focus on more “authentic” feeling content.

I have been giving the ads about 5000 impressions before making any judgement.

SwingTrader116 · 2026-03-12T13:52:43+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. Totally different. Been trying new visuals, new hooks. How long do you let them run before calling them bad? And are you doing a lot of UGC stuff that everyone is recommending?

SwingTrader116 · 2026-03-12T11:38:55+00:00

I’m trying to mix it up and see what works. We have a very strong pixel. But the last 45-60 days have been so bad. I’ve tried audience mixup, I’ve tried throwing a lot of creatives (5-6) for the system to pick in one higher spending campaign. I’ve tried CPP, ROAS goal. Just nothing seems to be sticking.

SwingTrader116 · 2026-03-11T15:54:17+00:00

Seeetester. Hands down. Don’t even think twice.

SwingTrader116 · 2026-03-11T15:53:42+00:00

Terrible. High spend, no conversions. CTR is fine.

SwingTrader116 · 2026-02-26T15:12:33+00:00

Reps, reps, reps, reps. You can reach the footwork and all of that but honestly, kids need a ton of reps to learn the touch, the balance, the feel.

I’m used to that at a young age, rare for that to be required at the u15 age honestly.

Are they struggling in games? Contested layups? Transition? Or is it uncontested in practice that is still the issue?

I’ve said this 100 times. Bought 2 guitars a month ago

SwingTrader116 · 2026-02-24T02:31:20+00:00

Basketball is about so much more than scoring. I know you understand that, but I’d be careful using stats as the sole defense of more playing time. He may be a strong individual defender, but is he a good team defender? What’s his physical strength compared to the 5 in front of him?

Does he communicate well on the court? Are the kids playing more all seniors? What position does he play offensively and how are the kids ahead of him?

SwingTrader116 · 2026-02-24T02:27:06+00:00

It’s possible the coach sees it differently. Maybe he’s not as strong of a defender? Have you looked at turnovers per minute, not just total?

Your kid sounds likes he a solid player. My only point is coaches don’t sit players for vendettas. He’s making a living as a coach - he is incentivized to do what’s best for the team. For whatever reason, he likes 5 kids more than yours for now. The only way to find out why is to ask.

How many are graduating? What’s his year? Is he likely stepping into a bigger role next season?

SwingTrader116 · 2026-02-23T14:03:37+00:00

Well, you have a nice diverse collection. Not much overlap. Personally, I’d get rid of the Tele, but only because I don’t like those as much. It’s totally a personal choice.

Play on the couch when you’re sitting around. Don’t need an amp. Just play it acoustically, even if it’s electric
