Anyone actually compare Sellvia's built-in ad results against running their own campaigns manually?

Been using the automated ad system since I started and it's been consistent, but I have zero visibility into what's actually happening behind the scenes - which audience, which creative, none of it. Curious if anyone has tried switching to self-managed campaigns after a few months on autopilot, and whether the extra control was worth losing the "just works" simplicity. Not looking to switch immediately, just weighing whether the tradeoff is worth exploring once I have more of a baseline to compare against.

tried this exact switch around month five. lost some efficiency for the first couple weeks relearning targeting myself, evened out eventually but it took longer than i expected to match what the automated system was already doing
