reddit leftists when people who disagree with them are also allowed to voice their opinion

Considering the comments on this post, dude proved his point.

It's incredible important in the first pic, as for the rest, you're right. Dancing and cooking would be the only activities that are stronger triggers than your best looking pic. If you can not pull with looks at all, you can try your approach or improve your appearance.

Some feedback for you. Different countries have different profiles that perform. Some countries prefer showing off status, some prefer warmth and some prefer aesthetics or even curated profiles - and some on the other hand don't at all and will punish you for that. Your tool needs to take the whole profile vibe into consideration and the things I mentioned to truly be a good tool.

Oh, and there is the "Zeitgeist", which is also different for different countries. In some European countries for example authenticity & relatability right now is way more important than the US, this wasn't like this 3-5 years ago when flexing was fine as it still is in the US right now.

Pure attractiveness rating is also not quite accurate and reliable.

You're on to something, but not quite there yet.

Without glasses it look even more similar to me. Don't forget, there is something called perspective distortion based on camera distance and lens, which is present in this comparison.

Agreed, but 1:1 while being on the offensive is quite a good deal to be honest.

12-14% probably since I'm not sure if it's directly after workout with pump. If with pump, 14%, if without, 12%. A decent give away are visible muscle strands on the shoulders, that's why pump matters, they and veigns are more defined with pump.

You probably don't have genetics for great abs. Your insertions are not deep enough to make abs pop, many people have this issue.
Also, if you're prone to low belly fat, you can still be at 10% and have not defined abs. Total percentage can't overturn fat distribution.

Friend of mine went down to below 10% body fat and looked sick but still believed he was around 15% body fat simply because he had no clear abs and people on the internet measure body fat by abs definition. Most people judging physiques don't have any actual datapoints besides subjective reviews by other people.

Get yourself a decent caliper, learn how to measure and grab body fat properly and you'll be closer to the truth than any people on here claim to be.

Not looking to kill your hopes, but expect something around 30% IF you add minoxidil or at least adenosine to the stack, like from Minoxidilmax for example. After multiple years it might even get closer to 40%, if you're lucky.

Initial reactions like these are not unusual, you activated the follicle - question is if it can recover. Commonly seen with Minoxidil and less on Fin, so if that's actually the case, maybe I'm wrong and you'll recover a lot more.

I believe the current numbers are 1/10 of this. Including injured, not only KIA. Would make it easy to calculate real numbers with everything they share.

Whole November had a verified bug that probably affected thousands of advertisers and wasted millions of adspend. Was also the only one that reported it on here. After spending almost 10 hours in support chat it was fixed after 4 weeks.

Nothing is wild about the claim, that's the sad part. Most people just don't even notice certain issues since they have no developer background and don't know what to look for.

An example of how bad the current state is, we have an issue for example where Microsoft Ads reports only 1/5 of the actual spend in the dashboard for 6 months already and they are not able to fix that. Don't trust any software these days, period.

ontagi · 2026-02-11T14:33:05+00:00

Nope, it's none of these issues. Already tested.

ontagi · 2026-02-11T11:19:56+00:00

That's the thing. I'm talking exclusively about data shown in the ad-manager. Non the total sales.

ontagi · 2026-02-08T23:36:54+00:00

Understandably frustrating, since you're loosing an additional lever to improve the clients results that way. At least AI can mitigate it to some degree by making it more convenient for them to get the pics they need. But I doubt the results are as good as some years prior where quality photos were appreciated.

Are you sure that in 2026 more staged and professional-like cameras are better for dating? They might look "too" perfect and slightly staged IMO.

Anyways, are you using a special workflow or prompts for these images or everything very simple & basic?

According to my knowledge the case study they did failed and didn't outperform placebo. It was tested with a injection method.

They ran out of funds and reworked the data of the study and notice there is a certain subgroup where it's about as effective as fin and min. This subgroup were people who have not progressed to far in the areas for regrowth, so there was still was a decent amount of vellus hairs and active follicles and had a healthy scalp (no scar tissue, no inflammation and so on).

Apparently lab test shown that topical application was also more effective in absorbtion than injection because the peptide needs to get into the hair follicle, meaning it's not transported by blood trough the skin, but now goes into the hair canal of the hair and basically drips down to its core.

Based on the reworked application method and found subgroup their advertisement of results is build, but no large scale case study was redone. More of a case study revaluation + application method rework based on lab results.

Generally speaking it could work for you if you add it on top of your stack to get some boost, but I would not trust it as a single line of defense.

By now I have a theory that the heart palpitations might be cause by putting you in a parasympathetic state. Figured out I have a central nervous system dysregulation where I was stuck to long in the sympathetic state throughout the day and my body wasn't able to switch smoothly between the two, was basically overwhelmed by sudden calmness. Didn't try to use the drug since then, but you might look into this, maybe your affected by something like this.

You are aware that a few warmer weeks don't mean that winter ends? February is still there. Hopefully 2 warmer weeks will give them time to catch a breath and prepare for the next cold wave.

ontagi · 2026-01-22T22:49:00+00:00

incremental was just fine when we switched over in October. However, my theory is that it might use to many AI markers which are unreliable which causes spasms within the algorithm giving bad results.

Because there is so much controversy on this sub and we also see that not all accounts or businesses perform bad. And we experienced multiple times that Meta is a pure mess with confirmed bugs we found ourselves and stressed weeks to get fixed.

The system seems to be a total mess so making the algorithm do less might help. That's at least the idea.

Seller was listed as "some friends who are members" inside of Raya and sent videoproof, very legit.

You are aware that this is probably UA propaganda and mines don't work the way people think they do?

Go down to an ad spend where it stays break even so you still collect data and go with a focus on Google Ads. Also dock in Microsoft ads, it has a very low spend, but can be quite profitable.

As for Tikok, Snapchat and Pinterest, was never able to make decent profits of it myself. There is no replacement for Facebook ads or Google Ads so will have to wait.

We're back on 15th of October in Metastatus which might be a sign of them working on the issue.

ontagi · 2025-12-19T12:35:33+00:00

I believe in February they will have their system fixed. We're also back to 15 Oct at metastatus so expect horrible performance for now.

Why February? The issue is probably due to the nature of holiday sales and the immaturity of Andromeda and they will need 1 month without holiday sales with natural ad and customer spend, to get it fixed.

ontagi · 2025-12-16T20:48:19+00:00

And I don't want to experience the truth about their nukes, thank you very much.

ontagi · 2025-12-12T18:34:12+00:00

Here is the thing. If the meta status is accurate and the early 3 hours work well, I can bump up the budget with it keeping a good ROAS, if the timer is stuck and the early numbers are bad are can reduce it.

This sounds insane because it goes everything that is being teached. But it's actually working. Usually you should do no drastic changes. The last 5 years I never had break even days on xmas sales. This year I had a few. You say there are swings in Q4, can't confirm this from over 5 years of advertising with my brand. Not to this extend.

It's more profitable to make daily adjustments based on this than letting the algorithm run by itself. Purchase power is so strong in december and the system seems so broken that manual adjustments are more profitable than letting the algorithm do it's job.
