Mod Post 300k content monetization challenge mega-thread

95 Upvotes

(reminder: the mods of /r/facebook are not affiliated with meta or Facebook)

For over two months now, people have been making posts here and there regarding the 300k content challenge that Meta/Facebook has claimed for content. Of late, that is practically all anyone is posting. Having the same post over and over makes the sub a mess, so these posts are going to be pulled.

Before pulling some of the posts, here are the headlines after searching 300k challenge in the sub:

  • Facebook 300k monetization challenge, someone already got invited? Almost end of August, someone had to be invited already, right?
  • Finally got monetised from the 300k challenge or whatever lollllllllll
  • Facebook Monetization 300k views challenge. Are we officially getting scammed by Meta? (mod note: this one was three days ago)
  • New 300k monetization challenge, has anyone completed it yet? What happened? (mod note: this one was two months ago)
  • Spoke to live agent regarding 300k challenge the response is unacceptable
  • Anyone else still waiting for invitation after 300k challenge from meta (mod note: two days ago)

... the list goes on and on... like, a lot.

The purpose of this subreddit is for articles about Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg found harvesting human souls for his robot army) or tech support. Similar to when an outage causes thousands of posts to happen, everyone posting the same few things over and over again is not going to help anyone, so for the few folk out there that have found this post thanks to searching the sub (there are DOZENS of you) or found through a search engine, please post any of your thoughts, frustrations, and successes on said topic in this thread. If you happen to see a 300k post mentioned afterwards, please report it, rule would be either 5 for no meme or custom response: repost.

To answer a big question that's posted a lot:

Are we being scammed?

I mean, it's Facebook so technically just using the platform is a scam in and of itself, however, here are a few links from users claiming they finally got theirs:

Here is a link from someone who was able to contact a "rep" (a term used loosely in the world of AI)

With there being said, Facebook has 2.11 billion daily active users. So if you take the conversation above with this information, then it makes sense it could take an insanely long time for them to do whatever review it is they claim they need to do.

Remember this extremely important quote:

You’re Not the Customer; You’re the Product

Why would so many people be interested enough to watch hundreds of my stories yet never give a like? I’m flattered they watch yet confused why never a like. I’m posting myself playing various instruments on professional gigs.

Disabled/hacked Group on pause after disabling personal account, no admin to revert it

6 Upvotes

I need an advice what can be done here, I temporarily disabled my personal Facebook the goal was to eventually remove it completely, after a while I realised I was the only admin of a group of 1.7k and the only moderator is my friend who I forgot to promote. Facebook have paused the group and since almost 2 months I'm trying to get it back by reporting, contacting almost every day but so far no result, you get to talk to this stupid AI customer service and there seem to be no way of reaching a real person or get anywhere close to fixing the issue. It's frustrated to the point that I don't want Facebook anymore ever, once this is sorted (if its possible) I'm deleting it completely.

Has anyone had similar issue before? was it resolved and if so how long it took? is there another way of reaching someone at FB who can actually help or there's no hope and I should stop wasting my time?

Group 1.7k members related to Kiteboarding, any help any advice, maybe Facebook employee is reading it, please give me some hope!

Discussion ADS ON REELS ARE DESTROYING THE USER EXPERIENCE. Any way around it? I can’t enjoy the app anymore.

• Upvotes

I’ve always LOVED Facebook Reels but I’m starting to get really upset that I can no longer enjoy the app because every 30 seconds there’s a 30 seconds ad. I understand the need to generate revenue but it’s becoming incredibly annoying to the point I can’t even get through a reel anymore. Ready to delete the whole app 😭

Disabled/hacked My father had his Facebook account disabled by Meta, is there any way to recover it?

7 Upvotes

So my dad uses his Facebook account as a small business + post family pictures and outings but recently around a week back, Facebook disabled his account for violating community guidelines. As of now I'm not sure which guideline he violated but he contacted them and they said he needed to provide an ID. He sent them pictures of both his ID and passport but they said "It wasn't an accepted form of ID that matches the information on the account." Unfortunately his name on facebook is his job title, his nickname and his first name. Is there possibly another way for him to identify as the owner of his account and get his 15 year old account back? 🥹

Also he's been using a realistic AI generated picture of him (after we all said not to) as his profile picture.

Discussion This is getting highly sus - can Facebook Messenger's private conversation send data to YouTube?

73 Upvotes

I have had a suspicion for quite some time that there is something going on between major social media sites, but today it was just on another level.

So I was talking on Facebook Messenger to my friend and conversation steered to the topic of camping, and that people in this area where we live have had several bear encounters and my friend is concerned about going camping. And what do you know... some minutes later YouTube is suggesting for me to watch a video about animals breaking into tents.

What the actual f***. This can't be a coincidence, there is just no way, this is way too specific. I didn't do any kind of searches about this topic in Google, YouTube or anywhere else, and then such a specific suggestion pops up on a different site, about something I just talked with a friend in a private conversation on another app.

So I got onto facebook like I normally do and mind you I only have family and friends on there. When I got on 4 hours ago it said they suspended me for child pornography and I’m where. Cus everyone knows I don’t post that crap and it didn’t even show a post or picture of what was reported. So I go to appeal for it (mind you this appeal system sucks) and 5 minutes later says I’m permanently suspended. Like I got family on there, friends and photos of my dad and dog that pasted away a few years ago and that’s all gone. I would love to sue them for false claims and I know I would win the case and even got friends and family who got my back.

Please help everyone! I just graduated my PhD and business psychology and made a post as a life event of it and then I got a notification at a people liking and today one of them came through and said someone like that I started university a month ago and I thought oh no I didn’t start my original post was that I graduated and it looked completely different than the other post so I deleted that one and then went back to my other notification where it was the correct one with my photo and the graduation date saying that I graduated and that one was missing too, but I never made the original one that said I had started school a month ago. Is there any way to get this back?

1 Upvotes

My mutuals on facebook can search up my profile and it will pop up. But when strangers search it up, my profile isn't appearing, even in the "people" lists. The only way to access my profile is through the tagged reels from my friends... It's been my problem for a long time and I can't really find a solution for this problem.

I've tried everything! I already checked every corner of my settings but It still wouldn't pop up in the search engine.

I want to fix this because people had a hard time adding me to groups. Please, I am desperate 🙏

Discussion Title: iPhone 12 Pro – Facebook Reels Audio Suddenly Stopped Working (Software Glitch or Speaker Hardware Issue?)

1 Upvotes

If an iPhone speaker has a hardware issue, would the sound still work normally in all other apps? In my case, while watching Facebook Reels, the audio suddenly stopped coming from both the top and bottom speakers. After I adjusted the volume in Control Center, the sound came back. Before and after the incident, the ringtone and audio in other apps worked normally. Could this have been a temporary Facebook audio glitch or an iOS audio system glitch rather than a hardware problem?

Disabled/hacked All my Instagram and Facebook accounts keep getting disabled, and I’m losing my online business. How can I fix this?

1 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone,

I'm having a serious problem with Instagram and Facebook, and I really need some advice because my entire online business depends on these platforms.

I run an online business where I sell gaming accounts, game top-ups, and digital subscriptions such as Netflix. Everything was working normally until my business Instagram account was disabled. I suspect the Netflix-related activity might have triggered it, but I'm not sure.

After that, my personal Instagram account and my personal Facebook account were also disabled.

I created a new account, and after a few days, it was disabled too. Meta asked me to verify my identity by submitting a photo of my ID. I did that, and my account was restored, but a few days later, it was disabled again. My personal Instagram account was also affected.

I even tried using a different phone and creating new accounts, including accounts for my business, but after a few days, those accounts were disabled as well.

I honestly don't understand what's causing this. Is Meta linking my accounts together? Could it be related to my business activities, identity verification, device, or something else?

My main questions are:

Why are all my accounts getting disabled, even when I create new ones on a different phone?

Could selling gaming accounts, game top-ups, or Netflix subscriptions be the reason?

Is there a way to identify the exact reason for these repeated disables?

What should I do to recover my accounts and prevent this from happening again?

Should I appeal the original account's decision instead of creating more accounts?

This is seriously affecting my income because almost all my business operations and customer communication happen through Instagram and Facebook.

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced something similar or successfully resolved this issue.

Thanks in advance!

I've lost this account around 2018 and haven't been able to recover it since, i want to either get it back or complete remove it from existence, the thing is Ai helper is completely useless and can't do anything about it. biggest problem is, i think it's been hacked long ago, plus i don't have access to anything from that time. my phone, phone number, email, i only might remember the passwords that have potentially be used. But i can't reach into contact with a human that can help me, and the ai assistant keeps saying the same stuff over and over that doesn't help.

Recently my email which is tethered to my facebook account has been compromised. Due to this I am wanting to delete/replace the compromised email to all my meta accounts but I have to log in to my facebook account to do so. Unfortunately the compromised email is the only way I can do a 'forgot password' recovery so I'm screwed.

I cannot find any help lines which could help me change my password remotely so this is really frustrating.

Is there any help I can get for this?

Discussion If a Facebook group shows no admins at all, how can you see if there is a hidden admin?

3 Upvotes

In a Facebook group, the admins & moderators list appears completely empty. But if there is a hidden admin, how can you see or find them?

Is there any place — group history, member list, settings — where a hidden admin would still show up? What is the reliable way to check whether a group really has no admin?

Thanks for any help.

Has anyone found an alternative? Seriously considering making a new FB profile just to not do this.

Discussion Group shows NO admins, but some members' posts keep getting deleted — is a hidden admin possible?

0 Upvotes

I help run a large Facebook group. Right now the group shows no admins or moderators at all in the About / Members section — the list is completely empty. But something strange is happening: posts from two specific accounts get declined or removed every time, even normal posts that break no rules, while everyone else posts with no problem. One post's details screen literally said "automatically declined."

Questions: 1. Is it actually possible for a Facebook group to have a hidden admin who doesn't appear in the admins & moderators list? 2. Can leftover Admin Assist rules target specific authors like this, even when there is no admin left in the group? 3. Is there any way to check who or what is removing these posts?

Any insight from people who have dealt with this would really help.
