Does Ozzi fix the munchies? 🍃

That's one of the most common questions I get.

After doing more research, it turns out that Ozzi is probably the best supplement on the market for Munchies. Who would have thought? 🤷‍♂️

The two most recommended supplements are Chromium and Konjac, which Ozzi has both of, along with 4 other ingredients to help your body regulate hunger.

I wrote a full blog about it here: https://t.co/LK8h2C34qU

Really proud of the @SkioHQ team.

The reality of this story is that v1 subscriptions on Shopify were pieced together over the years using outdated code and an outdated system.

It was a mess, and both end customers and merchants were worse off as a result.

As a merchant who switched to Skio, the product was so far above and beyond the competition that I pestered them for months to invest the next time they raised. Any time I'd request a feature, it would ship within 2-3 weeks.

I think this is a huge win for everyone, especially the merchants.

Such a great win as a founder who uses Skio, and also an investor in Skio.

UPDATE: I'm back up! I pinged a colleague from Meta via LinkedIn. He was my old Meta Ad Reps manager, so he had a bit more pull. He submitted an internal ticket, and I was back online within 24 hours.

If you're struggling with the same problem and don't have internal contacts at Meta, I'd recommend reaching out to people there on LinkedIn to see if they can help.

He told me to keep in mind that each Meta employee only gets 1 submission for internal review per month.

I had another internal ticket via a friend for over a week, but there's a huge backlog at the moment.

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

Fell victim to the @Meta ban wave last week. Lost my appeal, and my account - which I've had since 2008 - is gone forever.

Over $30M spent since 2012. Done roundtables with @nicolamen. Given talks at Ad Rep training. Featured in Meta case studies. Interviewed on several client panels.

And I still can't get a single human to review my account.

@lifeofbi Great brand. Congrats to them on the sale. I've been using their deodorant since my wife bought it for me a year or so ago. Everything smells great, and their deodorant is the only aluminum-free brand I've found that works for me.

This is one of the funniest and weirdest customer interactions I've ever had lol.

This guy kept on going on and on about tricking us by using a Google number and calling me an idiot, after just spending a bunch of money with me lol.

Told him it was ok and I didn't really care, then continued on over several other emails berating me for not verifying he didn't use a Google Number in our signup form. 😂

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

Nothing yet. Setting up on an agency account for now since my new account was still so fresh the ROAS were under 0.5 haha.

I spoke to a high-level person at the Austin Office today who suggested Agency accounts as an alternative.

I thought agency accounts seemed spammy, but had a few people I trust recommend them in general. Can speak more on who I'm using once I've had it for a few weeks. They're also trying to recover my lost account now, too.

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

@SebastienLintz @Meta @nicolamen Yeah, I've been diversifying for months just in case. With all the constant rumblings about bans, I wanted to be cautious.

The good thing for me is I've been fine-tuning Google, Axon, and Reddit for the past few months. But, I've never been able to get the same ROAS or stability on other platforms. Reddit will do great for a week or two every few months and then just waste money. Google has always been a small spender with poor returns. And Axon has been mostly a waste of time and money but I've got my fingers crossed I can crack it without being grey hat.

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

@NickStobie @timopowerz @Meta @nicolamen That's insane. I've had to put freezes on cards before, which has helped in the past if my Amex got leaked or stolen somehow.

My own wife used to work at Meta doing fraud review, but the only option for employees is a friends & family review from what I can tell.

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

@franjohn21 @Meta @nicolamen I read this a few days ago and have no connected Claude for this very reason. Glad you were able to get things back!

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

@timopowerz @Meta @nicolamen Automated hammer. Pretty sure they mistook my supplement for a prescription drug, but an appeal process didn't work, which means a human clearly didn't review it.

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

@vince415 @diabyismael @Meta @nicolamen Verified support told me to use a new account to run ads, so that's what I'm doing in the meantime. But losing all that pixel data was brutal.

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

@PrefFalsifier @Meta @nicolamen I've already had an internal case submitted for over a week. But they're apparently very backed up with internal reviews at this point.

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

@VivekSancheti91 @Meta @nicolamen I have an internal review in, but apparently, the internal reviews are massively backlogged at the moment.

[Brandon Kuipers @brandonkuipers]

Riskier than bracelets for sure, haha.

I think this is a fundamental issue with Meta. Their stock is down 12% this week, massive layoffs are happening, and they're cutting historically high-spending customers without real human reviews on falsely flagged issues.

The worst part is, I was just starting to scale ads heavily right before the ban hit.
