Announcement: The social media industry is changing — rapidly, aggressively, and not in favor of independent creators or smaller brands.
🚨 Big Tech wants to limit your reach and force you into overpriced ads to stay visible.
This might be the most important update we’ve released in years — and it affects every serious creator and brand.
The era where a few thousand dollars with SocialPlus could outperform a $20,000/month ad budget is disappearing — at least for now.
Recent platform updates and behind-the-scenes pressure have shifted the entire landscape.
Over the past year, Big Tech has pushed aggressively — even lobbying card networks like Visa and Mastercard — to restrict card payments to third-party growth platforms like ours.
Why?
Because our services work.
And because creators and brands are choosing SocialPlus over their wildly overpriced ads… ads that often deliver weak, inconsistent, or flat-out useless results.
Their goal: Eliminate card payments → eliminate convenience → eliminate credibility.
And with that? More creators are forced into the arms of overpriced platform-owned ads.
It’s a clever strategy — and a dangerous one.
If Big Tech can block your ability to pay for alternative growth solutions like ours:
- You’re pushed into their overpriced ads
- You pay 20–30x more
- You often get worse results
And here’s the part they hope you never notice:
There are countless reports claiming YouTube’s own "Promotions" include fake, low-quality, or bot-like engagement.
They're just charging you 20–30x more.

Yes — the same companies that ban “artificial engagement”… openly sell artificial engagement. As long as they’re the ones getting paid it's OK.
– Adam Moore, Co-founder of SocialPlus
And, as expected, they’ll insist otherwise with statements like:
The hypocrisy is astonishing — and loud.
Don’t take our word for it. Search “YouTube promotions fake users”
Then test the Promotion tab yourself.
The irony? Platforms like Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, Tinder, etc. all relied on similar social proof tactics in their early days to grow audiences.
Without them, they likely wouldn’t exist today.
🎯 A New Strategy for a New Market
The era of ultra-cheap, ultra-effective engagement is over. At least for now (it may return later).
Yes — you may still find short-lived networks offering low prices that deliver results.
But because they attract lots of low-quality buyers, their performance collapses quickly.
The new reality for serious creators and brands?
Big Tech Is Getting More Aggressive. We’re Adapting Faster.
We’re seeing the industry shift in real time:
- Platforms limiting reach and visibility
- Organic reach throttled to force paid spend
- AI-driven suppression of content
- Google manipulating search results to favor its own ecosystem
- Ad prices skyrocketing while results plummet
- Big Tech lobbying against more affordable third-party growth solutions like SocialPlus
Costs are no longer equal — but quality can be.
At SocialPlus, we’re adapting by prioritizing Managed Growth and high-budget clients.
We now build and maintain dedicated networks tailored specifically to each client.
This means:
- Better reliability, faster delivery, and higher retention — thanks to a dedicated network that low-quality buyers can’t order from
- Higher starting costs (in return you get long-term affordability and maximum ROI)
- Fully customized targeting (country, ethnicity, gender & more). Key for driving more organic engagement from your audience and starting conversations that lead to more sales.
- Stronger algorithm impact
- Consistent, long-term performance
When we build a network just for your brand, you control the quality end-to-end.
Most of our competitors provide irrelevant targeting — easy-to-spot Indian or Middle Eastern names that can hurt your brand, particularly for Western brands.
But what about smaller clients?
Smaller clients can still access our cheaper public networks.
But with the latest platform restrictions, market trends, and ecosystem changes, we anticipate performance on open networks to gradually weaken.
For brands and creators aiming for reliable, long-term growth with faster delivery, stronger retention, and full control: Our private, dedicated networks are the future.
SocialPlus is restructuring around premium, 1-on-1 managed growth — for clients who understand the new landscape and want stable, strategic, long-term performance.
We will also phasing out card payments due to Big Tech's lobbying efforts.
But that's a good thing — no more crazy card fees (10-15%, which we typically pay), inflated exchange rates, or hidden bank/card markups.
Instead, you can use wire transfers, cryptocurrency, and other secure payment methods to add funds instantly.
Pay in your local currency (USD, EUR, AED, GBP, SGD and more) with zero to minimal fees.
If you’re concerned about risk, we recommend starting with the minimum amount you can afford to lose and scale only after seeing results firsthand (which we're confident you will) 😉
📈 Managed Growth Built for 2026 and Beyond
Even with Big Tech tightening the walls, we’re not slowing down — we’re strengthening.
Our focus moving forward:
- ✅ Stable, reliable delivery
- ✅ High-quality engagement that improves algorithmic trust
- ✅ Expert, data-driven management
- ✅ Strategies designed to outperform restrictive platforms
- ✅ Long-term clarity in an industry built on confusion
Platforms want to limit your reach and force you into overpriced ads.
We’re here to give serious clients a competitive edge money can’t buy anywhere else.
