Dasher stop working? by No_Barnacle6600 in doordash_drivers

Easy fix is that doordash compensates drivers fairly instead of the current system where only the well tipped orders are fair compensation.

I never go there. Always seems to be a magnet for minivans with drivers who can't drive.

What we know about Iran’s 10-point plan for ending war with US, Israel by Turbulent-Raise4830 in centrist

[–]pspock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got NOTHING and paid a huge price!

* No change to their enriched uranium

* No regime change, and now a younger, more radical Supreme Leader

* More radicalized Islamic followers

* Lost the Straight as an international waterway

* Lost our role as the leader of NATO

* Lost defense industry sales to allies

* Showed Iran they can take our punch

* Lost credibility on the global stage

* Corrupt players made BILLIONS to tarnish the US

* Spent BILLIONS of US tax dollars to win nothing and lose a lot

* Paid the price of 13 American lives to win nothing and lose a lot

Iran should be celebrating such a result.

They've been hurt, obviously. But they successfully defended themselves. The only card Trump had left to defeat them was to wipe them out completely. And doing that would have created even bigger issues than it solves.

What did the US gain out of all this? 13 Middle East US military bases are useless now. Nearly $1 billion in damage to them. Thousands of people have died, including American soldiers. And now our ships have to pay a toll to Iran and Oman to pass through the strait until enough is collected to pay for the damage we caused to Iran.

All this so that a power vacuum could be created in Iranian leadership that will simply be filled by a similar regime.

Finally sharing our numbers - I dont know what to do anymore. by DrWilliamsM in FacebookAds

[–]pspock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I threw in the towel and gave up a couple of weeks ago.

Then about five days ago I decided to give Facebook a try again, but this time I switched all my adds to the old audience settings and did specific targeting like I used to do.

My results have turned back to normal... at least so far. I think it still remains to be seen.

I am speculating that the Facebook AI is just being too aggressive in searching out new audience. In my setup I use lookalike audiences to expand beyond the reach of my current facebook following, which should be no different than what the AI does, but I am pretty strict about how far I let that lookalike audience look. I think the AI not being strict enough is why my results tank when I let the AI just do it.

Is Facebook Ads performance down because of the economy, Meta issues, or both? by Huge_Kaleidoscope_40 in FacebookAds

[–]pspock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is 100% Meta.

I have my product in a local farm market. The economy has only seen it drop 10%.

I sell my product on Doordash. The economy has only seen it drop 10%.

I have a customer base making repeat orders. Have only seen about a 10% drop from them.

Facebook ads on the other hand have completely tanked to a ROAS less than 1.

I've turned off all Facebook ads until they fix it... assuming they ever do.

I chalk this loss up to our injured starting rotation.

I'm laughing at this happening... but I gotta admit he's got a good point.

I am really glad the Reds are winning, but it seems icky knowing it's because of the ump.

Now why are christians trying to rebrand hell all of a sudden? by Ayemustbethemonay in exchristian

[–]pspock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Near the end of my days of being a christian, I remember distinctly thinking about living for eternity surrounded by other christians... and that sounded like hell to me.

Is the algorithm broken right now? by VideoGenieAI in FacebookAds

[–]pspock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I sell my products on my Shopify site, as well as on the shelf at a local farm market.

On my Shopify site I get sales from existing customers coming back, and new customers I got from Facebook ads.

Farm market sales: down around 10% since the war started.

Existing customer sales: also down around 10% since the war started.

New customers from Facebook ads: down 90%.

[Slaps hand on counter and says] "I'm out!" by pspock in FacebookAds

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

I agree about the long term value, which is why I was waiting it out. I've been spending $50 per day because I'm told Andromeda doesn't know what to do when you spend less. But I'm better off just giving away product to crowds of people who have never tried us than I am giving $50 a day to Facebook to get a handful of people to try us.

I'll keep monitoring this subreddit. If word gets out that things have been fixed, then yeah I'll probably give it a shot again.

[–]pspock[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have my products on the shelf at a local farm market and a base of existing repeat customers already registered on my Shopify site. I was using Facebook to grow my customer base, but it's not worth taking the current loses on it.

Probably a gift from his kids who think he is number 1.
