Yes, noticed the same. Facebook has been limiting link visibility in ad comment sections recently - likely to reduce spam or external redirects. Might need to adapt strategies using native engagement or indirect CTA methods.

Hi Delontekoq ,
As it seems it is true that Facebook has recently implemented a policy change that causes domains shared in ad comment sections to appear as gray, non-clickable text. This measure aims to reduce spam and control the sharing of links in comments, even for legitimate, long-standing accounts. To work around this, consider sharing links in the main post content, using formats like “domainnamedotcom,” or redirecting to services like Bit.ly

It seems that FB is turning off or testing the feature to turn off comments on ads with domain names, which is why the comment section is grayed out and unable to interact.

That’s right, Facebook has restricted the insertion of clickable domains in the comment section of ads to reduce spam and abuse. I also see this clearly affecting the conversion rate. Now we have to optimize other calls-to-action or direct users to the inbox more.

Facebook is set to announce a major change: blurring and disabling links in ad comments. This is causing major regulatory headaches for advertisers, as organic traffic from comments plummets. To address this, advertisers need to adapt by encouraging users to message directly for the link or embedding the link directly into the ad copy (e.g., the description or call-to-action button). Alternatively, directing users to the link in the bio or profile is also an option. This change requires advertisers to quickly adjust their strategies to maintain the effectiveness of their ad campaigns.

We are having this issue, perhaps fb has changed the algorithm. Facebook has now blurred the domain name in the ad comment section to reduce spam

Facebook regularly updates its policies and may have limited the ability to comment on ads for a domain. This may happen if your domain has been reported or has a history of violations. Make sure all of your content complies with Facebook's advertising policies. Review your ads and comments to make sure nothing is in violation.

This is a new change to how the platform handles links in comments, especially those with direct links. The automatic disabling of hyperlinks may be aimed at curbing spam and abuse, but it also has a big impact on those who rely on comment engagement to drive traffic. Recent tests have shown that only links that are formatted specifically or from trusted sources remain clickable. If this continues, consider shifting to a different format of lead generation content instead of direct links.
