Meta
Word is Meta Advantage+ product teams are broken out by feature—like an Audiences team & an Ad Serving team—that ship changes & updates without alerting other teams.
These changes appear to contradict or move ASC backwards. Which means performance is now volatile.

Following up on my post about how to make a video according to Meta, from Meta:
we won’t recommend Reels that are over 90 seconds long
If you’re hoping for organic discovery of your Reel, keep it shorter.
From a Meta rep, creative differentiation isn’t just about designing assets that look different. It’s about creating assets and messaging that speak to every potential customer segment.
It’s not just about the stage of their journey, it’s about them plus their stage.
Instagram confirmed it’s testing unskippable ads after screenshots of the feature began circulating across social media. These new ad breaks will display a countdown timer that stops users from being able to browse through more content on the app until they view the ad, according to informational text displayed in the Instagram app.
Unsurprisingly, people hate it. But Meta is really good at figuring out what people will actually put up with vs what they just say.
If these stick around, will they command a higher price?
