My Facebook Rant! Back on 12/25/21, my ad account was hacked and an ad was placed using my information. Facebook notified me that my account appeared to have been compromised and THEY canceled my billing agreement with them automatically. I did all the security things they suggested (changed my password, and set up 2-factor authentication). I thought that was the end of it.

Flash forward to the end of January, I was selling some items in the Marketplace and thought I'd boost one of the items to get it to sell. Turns out Facebook had TOTALLY disabled my advertising account. When I contacted them for a review of my account and I rehashed what all had happened, they denied me access to the account and told me that was their FINAL DECISION. Feeling like I'm in Oz and Facebook is the wizard.

Ok, I thought, fine. A few days ago, I noticed that Facebook had automatically billed me for the ad out of Paypal. I contested the charge with Paypal, and of course, received the same line about not having done something right, blah blah.

My take away from this: if you're an individual or small business, don't waste your time running Facebook Ads. Too much hassle, and not enough support to help if you should run into an issue like this as I did. Unless you like form letters....

Platforms mediocrity is the reason why I have been able to live off my business for so many years.
I don't love it but it's what helps sell accounts, you'd think it's only people running BH on dozens of accounts at once,
but sadly many clients are people who have lost their accounts to stuff like this and still need advertise their little businesses.
You'd expect a lot more from Multibilliion-dollar companies, but until they go bankrupt they'll keep doing stupid shit like this.

They'll have to download thousands of pictures, check who all their friends were to readd them and take a lot of time to redo their personal account, use it for a few months and then hope FB doesn't ban them for being on the same IP as a banned account
They could also create a second account without getting rid of the original, give it activity for months and then try to use it and hope again, it doesn't get banned for being on the same IP as the banned account.
It's definitely not a one click solution.

It's much better to exchange real user's existing accounts

It IS a one click solution. I have tons of fb accounts, mate.. You just have to act as a normal user and you won't get banned

I am constantly warming accounts, so when the time to use a new account comes, I don't have to wait months for it :D

For that, you just go blackhat... I'm not sure if I can say this in bhw but yeah just blackhat ways to get vccs
 
Am I missing something? Why would you need more than one account and why would you need to "warm" an account? Is this some type of BH tactic? I can't imagine why FB wouldn't graciously accept your advertising money.

Facebook is a public company and they have to please investors. That's why they use most of the time AI systems to review accounts, etc. It's way cheaper. You need more than one account because even if you're doing the "right thing" the ban will come.

I've experienced bans in the past and it sucks. Sometimes i really want to create a new account to run ads. But waking up in the morning with the "Your ad account has been disabled"... it's not a great feeling.

At this moment i'm trying to expand my traffic sources but i'm bound to get back to Facebook. It's still a huge money making if you're promoting the right stuff.
