Paid for a $200 scheduling tool and it tanked my reach instead of helping

Tanked my reach" is a bit dramatic don't you think? Like yeah it sucks to waste money but one bad week doesn't mean your whole account is ruined. People act like the algorithm is out to get them personally.

The timing of your posts might be the real issue here. Automation tools often push content out at random intervals instead of when your actual audience is scrolling through their feeds. My buddy had the same problem and fixing the schedule to match peak activity times brought his numbers back up way faster than he expected.

Ugh, that is SO frustrating. Spending that kind of money only to watch things get WORSE is the worst feeling. I really feel for you, it's like the internet just decided to play a mean joke on your wallet. I had a similar scare with a tool that promised to "boost" everything and it basically did the opposite. It just goes to show that sometimes the simple, manual way is actually safer even if it takes more work. Hope you can fix your schedule and see those numbers climb back up soon.
