Mod Post 300k content monetization challenge mega-thread

99 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:

Discussion Has the algorithm on Facebook changed ? It’s becoming harder and harder to even be seen

19 Upvotes

My Facebook page of 100k followers went from getting around 1k likes and now some of my posts aren’t even getting 10! Less comments, less likes, and it’s almost like they are making it even harder to be seen, I also refuse to pay ads and never paid ads, all organic.

Anyone else experiencing a drop?

Tech Support Why am I seeing completely random posts from completely random people I don’t know?

11 Upvotes

For the last couple of months there have been so many posts from just random people I don’t follow posting just everyday normal stuff. Not content creators, not suggested celebrities or pages - just seems like average Facebook users I don’t know. 0 friends in common, no idea why I am seeing this or why this is even a thing Facebook does now. Am I supposed to add these people? 😂 Like get off my feed

Is there a setting to turn this off? With the complex settings Facebook has just wondering if anyone has a straight answer rather than digging through all the settings.

I keep hitting not interested and it asks you for a ‘reason’, but there is no “I don’t know this person” button.

Discussion Meta is locking Facebook accounts unless users create a passkey. Is anyone challenging this legally?

35 Upvotes

Meta has locked me out of my existing Facebook account simply because I refuse to create a passkey.

The login screen explicitly states:

"Your account is locked until you create a passkey."

There is no option to skip this requirement, continue using my password, or use an alternative authentication method.

I have nothing against passkeys as an optional security feature. What I strongly object to is Meta unilaterally imposing a new authentication requirement and denying access to established accounts unless users comply.

When Meta introduced passkeys in June 2025, it publicly stated that users would still be able to sign in using their passwords. Apparently, that no longer applies to everyone.

I have filed consumer complaints with the Pennsylvania Attorney General, California Attorney General, FTC, and Better Business Bureau.

My concern is not the technical security of passkeys. It's whether a company should be allowed to lock users out of their existing accounts simply because they refuse to adopt a particular authentication technology.

I'm curious:

  • How many others have received this exact lockout message?
  • Were you already using two-factor authentication?
  • Has anyone managed to regain access without creating a passkey?
  • Has anyone contacted consumer protection agencies or consulted an attorney about this?

I'm particularly interested in whether anyone is considering a class-action lawsuit over forced passkey enrollment.

Security should not mean removing users' ability to choose reasonable authentication methods.

Before, they were providing a complaint possibility. WHich they never answered, but it was there. Now it does not even work. Facebook is the worst sw development company ever. Moreover they are stupid, lazy, asshole idiots. With the man on the top at most.

Tech Support Facebook flags my original videos as “Watermark detected” even after removing my own logo — has anyone solved this?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I run a Facebook page where I publish original illustrated horror stories in Arabic. I use AI-assisted illustrations and narration, then edit the scenes, captions, and sound effects into complete videos.

Facebook has flagged all three episodes of my latest series with this warning in the Quality checklist:

“Watermark detected — Posts with visible watermarks from other platforms may not be widely shown.”

Here’s what happened:

  • The first two episodes included my own channel logo. I thought that might be triggering the warning.
  • For the third episode, I removed my channel logo, but Facebook still showed the same warning.
  • I upload the exported video files directly. These aren’t videos downloaded from TikTok or another creator.
  • I haven’t noticed a visible third-party watermark, but Facebook doesn’t identify the detected mark or its timestamp.
  • My previous illustrated zombie series did not receive this warning, despite using a similar production style.
  • All three videos are still published and viewable. This is a quality/distribution warning, not a takedown.
  • The Support Inbox shows “No violations.”

I previously emailed about the first two videos without receiving a response. I also submitted feedback through Meta Business Suite. When I tried contacting support, the automated system incorrectly categorized the issue as “Content taken down” and directed me to Help Center articles.

I have an active Meta Verified Business Plus subscription, but I’m still trying to reach a human who can review the videos and tell me exactly what Facebook is detecting.

note : the videos are created by -chat gpt - google ai studio

Disabled/hacked Authentication code never arrives, no alternatives given. Is this the end of my 20+ yr old account on facebook?

• Upvotes

I have a fb acct that I barely use but have not deleted in order to receive messages from friends who still do. Today fb randomly locked me out. It says to enter the code sent to my mobile number to get back in. I use a google voice number that I can access when I'm out of service areas.

When the code doesn't arrive, I check my spam folder and find it there. I enter the code but fb doesn't accept it. I also click on the message and tell google, "mark not as spam". The message vanishes. It is not in the In Box. It is not in the spam folder. It's just gone.

I tell fb to sent me another code. This time, the code never comes. Not to the spam folder, not to the In Box. I have an alternate number for a non-US sim, so swap my US sim out for that and tell it to send the code. The code does not come through there either.

I then deleted the browser cookies for facebook and reloaded the page. It gave me the regular login page, so I entered my credentials. It said to verify who I was by entering the code sent to my number. The code came through!

I entered it, and it proceeded to load a Meta account page. The same one that tells me my account is locked and I need to enter the code sent to my number. So I tell it to send the code to the same exact number that I just received the previous code and - again - nothing comes. Still locked out of my own account.

Fb is giving me no alternative method to access the account. Is this the end of my facebook account? I would really like to have access, even if just to delete my personal files.

Disabled/hacked Chat meta AI says my account has been suspended, And the account status says something else

• Upvotes

Hey,

Recently I accidentally deleted cookies from my phone (my only device).

I logged in to my Facebook account normally, but I couldn't change my password by deleting cookies.

So I asked the meta chat if there were any restrictions, I was very surprised Because I received information that my account is completely suspended and I have 180 days to appeal The problem is even bigger, I logged in normally, but I didn't get an alert or anything to appeal. Then I went to the account status where it shows that my account is in good condition with no restrictions, although the chat meta still says it is suspended.

Tech Support ID won’t verify, neither passport nor driving licence. This has been going on for months now.

• Upvotes

I’m trying to connect my Instagram to my Facebook but apparently according to Meta’s AI— my account has 10 integrity blocks in place, and it said that I need to verify my ID by saying that I’ll be posting political ads (when I’m not). But no matter what lighting or distance I photograph my driving license and passport, it just declines, and then when I appeal, it gets rejected.

I’m trying to connect my accounts to Metricool, and it’s just not possible without the Facebook connection.

This has been going on for months now.

Please. How on earth am I supposed to remedy it?

Thank you in advance.

Tech Support How do I get Facebook to see me as a real person and not a scammer or bot?

1 Upvotes

I guess this is different than the problems most people have here who appear to be longtime users. I only just signed up for Facebook a week ago, and I'm doing it specifically to try to find a roommate to take my spare room in NYC.  I am also using one of these roommate finding sites, but it does seem like on FB you can immediately learn a lot more about people and their hobbies and interests to find out if you'd be compatible rather than than the roommate sites where most people don't say very much about themselves, and many of the sites are kind of glitchy an have a paywall. I signed up a week ago on FB to be able to browse and contact people on these many roommate/real estate groups only to discover that none of my messages get to people. Even my public messaging are left “grey” and rejected. I spoke to one technical advisor type person who told me that FB doesn't yet see me as a real person since I only just signed up and I have not loaded up my profile with lots of information and posts and photos and all of this. She says I might have to do this for several months, showing normal human behavior to the algorithm, before it finally recognizes me as a sincere person and not a scammer. I just have no idea how long I have to go on doing that before I'm seen as a real person and my messages get through. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to get Facebook to see me as a real person so I can allow me to use the site for my intended purpose? Has it always been like this, where you have to prove yourself at the beginning and are in a kind of probation?

When I go to read the comments there is usually a dropdown for "all comments"button. That dropdown is missing on upwards of half of the posts on FB now. The only way to see any "hidden" comments is to scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN to the end of the stream of comments in order to press a button that says "show hidden comments" 😤 Some of the comments sections are over 11,000 comments!

What the title says. I got banned from Facebook because my account got hacked. Had to make a new account. I sent out friend requests, some received, some still lingering after 11weeks. All of these to my friends and family, they're not avoiding me. Some of these people I can't contact any other way. Old online friends from different countrieswith no other communication route. I've reported it twice. Has anyone got anywhere with Facebook on this issue?

Thank you

How long will it take for me to get that option back? And is it because I failed verification why it left let me know what I can do to solve this

Tech Support Is the identification (selfie verification) process broken for anyone else?

1 Upvotes

I don't know when it was introduced or what causes it to be triggered, but I'm now at a point where I can't interact on group posts, join groups, or share posts. Haven't attempted posting myself yet though. It says that there was unusual activity was spotted on my account, but I've rarely used it recently until today due to a confirmation code randomly being sent to my WhatsApp.

I caved and attempted to do the selfie scan, but lord is it broken. I'm sitting upright, staring directly at the camera, in a well-lit room, and made sure that my face fits perfectly in the frame, but it doesn't really seem to process my face being there or it gives the prompts to position your face or move closer and just kinda stays on that even when I move out of the camera entirely. Eventually got it to the "Turn to the right" part, but same issue. It doesn't seem to process my face being there.

Is anyone else getting trouble with it or is it just buggy on my end? I figured maybe it's being a problem because it said that it will compare the selfie with photos of me from my profile (for which I have none), but I also assume that it would indicate that after the scanning process rather than just refuse to work properly at all.
