Build a website for AI pics for dating apps in 20 hours, launched ads, failed

I had some free google cloud credits (included nano banana for AI gen photos) Build a simple website - user uploads a selfie, receiving cool pics for dating apps with his face + he can edit photos with promts. 3 photos with watermarks for free, after that pack with 25 photos for 9,99$, In the backend its prefiltered cool photos + face recognition in order to return only photos with a good simularity.

End result - $202 spent, funnel - 123 clicks (8,0% CTR, $1,64 per click) 37 made free photos, 2 purchases

I want to try Meta Ads as well, I like the idea that you could check meta ads library for competitor's creatives (video and pics) and copy those which are running for a long time. Nobody will run a creative for a long time if it doesnt have a good ROI. I want to try this

Expirience from this project - it seems like its not that diffucult now a days to launche google ads via google ads API and claude, I had pretty good metrics (CTR and cost per click). The question is how to achive good conversion ration on the website

Accept crypto, ideally Monero among others, who would want that tied to their identity?

I can do all of this for free.

This is the problem.
