EU traffic can be hit or miss depending on the GEO. If volume is slow, its not always the network, sometimes the targeting is just too limited.

Same settings doesnt always mean same outcome. Every market has different competition and buying habits, so id check what's different in that GEO before making big changes.

I think both can work, but it really depends on how ur whole funnel is setup. If i was starting from zero id go with the platform i understand better first, then test the other one later instead of doing both at once.

Could be traffic quality changed or the platform got stricter, hard to say without checking every part of the setup.

People overthink the tools, but hardly test enough creatives and landing pages, thats where most of the results come from.

I still jump between few tools, no single one gets it right every time, bit of editing is always needed.

Still profitable if your targeting and landing page are good, but yeah costs are defntly higher now.

Yes, but along with a good cloaker, having a properly optimized safe page also matters a lot.

Exactly, if it’s replicas then the cloaking setup matters more. There are already many good replica cloaking threads in this subforum.

Exactly. Many beginners think cloaking alone will solve bans, but without understanding ad policies, filtering logic, and account quality, accounts get banned fast. Learn the basics first, then test cloakers according to your budget and traffic flow.

No, you should Not use Facebook cloaking in the very beginning. First, focus on warming up your ad account and using safer creatives or prelanders. Cloaking can definitely help down the line, but as a beginner, you will usually burn through accounts quickly if your technical setup, proxies, and...
