    1. I hate the media buying community sometimes “just spend more” is not advice
    2. Meta can disable your entire ad account over a “failed payment” they NEVER even attempted to charge. This can happen to any of us.
    3. As Account Restriction

    1. I'm mentally drained
    2. Hired a Meta ads agency 3 weeks ago. They made 1000+ changes and turned off everything that was working. Is this normal?
    3. WTF IS META DOING!?!?!
