Interesting read with some great thoughts.
Facebook is also cracking down on people who constantly ask for stars and those people are losing the ability to receive stars ⭐️
🚨 Creators, Facebook is not playing anymore… and some of us probably need to stop acting surprised.
Recently, a large creator I follow had restrictions placed on their page and lost some or all of their monetization. I have also heard there are more creators dealing with the same thing right now.
And before anyone twists this into drama — no, I am not celebrating it. I actually like the creator. I respect anyone who is making a living on social media. But I do think there are lessons here for all of us, myself included.
Because let’s be honest… a lot of us are still learning what Facebook does and does not want. Save this post for later.
My takeaway?
One thing I noticed was that this creator had shared earnings publicly on their page/posts. Facebook has been pretty upfront that this is not allowed. I understand why people do it, especially for transparency or to help other creators, but at the end of the day, transparency does not cancel out the rules.
Another thing I noticed was repeated cross-posting: one post shared into several groups, including content groups. Facebook has also made it clear that this can come across as spammy.
And yes, I know Facebook gives challenges asking creators to post in groups. But I think this is where a lot of people are getting confused.
When Facebook says to post in groups, I highly doubt they mean “go drop the same post into every content engagement group you can find and call it strategy.”
I think they mean post where your content actually belongs. Real groups. Real conversations. Real engagement. Imagine that.
And when Facebook says to make 6 group posts, I do not believe they mean one post blasted into 6 groups at the exact same time. I think they mean 6 separate posts shared intentionally into relevant groups.
That may be why some people are not getting credit for the challenges. They may be doing the shortcut version instead of what Facebook actually intended.
And I want to be very clear: I am not saying this like I have never made mistakes. I have absolutely used other people’s posts as inspiration. I have shared things that made me think, “Oh, that is a good point, I want to add my own take to that.” I think a lot of creators do that.
But there is a big difference between being inspired by a post and just copying, recycling, or blasting the same thing everywhere with no originality.
That is the part I am paying more attention to now.
Being a good creator is not just posting constantly and hoping the algorithm throws you a bone.
It means creating more original content.
It means using inspiration without becoming a copy-and-paste account.
It means adding your own thoughts, your own experience, and your own voice.
It means not treating every group like your personal billboard.
It means building a real community instead of chasing quick engagement.
It means reading the rules instead of acting personally victimized when they apply to us.
I am still learning too. That is actually why I have been quieter on my personal page lately. Facebook has been cracking down, and I would rather adjust now than cry later because my page got slapped.
I am also focusing more on my business page because, in my experience, business pages earn more per view than personal profiles. So if you are building a brand or business, that may be something to think about.
Now more than ever, support your favorite creators — especially small businesses and local pages putting real effort into original content instead of just recycling the same tired posts we have all seen 47 times.
Facebook has publicly said they are prioritizing original content and cracking down on spam, copycat posts, and impersonation accounts.
So maybe… just maybe… it is time we take them seriously. 😳
Use inspiration. Add your own voice. Post with intention. And stop playing in Facebook’s face, then acting shocked when Facebook plays back. 💕
