I just realized something that made me physically sick. I’m paying facebook $3,000/month in ad spend. and for that privilege, they’re letting scammers use MY ad space to run THEIR scams

Every single post now gets:
• “I won an iPhone!” comments from fake profiles
• Crypto bots posting referral links
• Competitors saying “this brand scammed me”
• Actual customers asking “is this legit?” because of the chaos

here’s the kicker: Facebook’s “moderation tools” are designed to MAKE ENGAGEMENT LOOK HIGH. They don’t care if it’s scam engagement. They’re literally profiting from my ad spend while scammers get free real estate

I calculated last month’s damage:

• 47 legitimate customer questions buried under spam
• 12 people who commented “how do I buy?” that we missed for 8+ hours
• Estimated $2,100 in lost sales from unanswered questions

the most insulting part? When I report obvious scam comments, FB says “this doesn’t violate community standards.” Of course not – scam comments INCREASE their engagement metrics!

Question for other business mates: At what point do we start treating fb ads as hosting costs for scammer content rather than customer acquisition? how much are u losing to this digital graffiti on ur paid ads?
