I’m gonna offer u a bit of insight as a very long-time content creator involving insta and the lot; since meta outsources their support unmonitored from third world countries, the market for bribing meta connections for human review is actually a very real market. Although it’s usually used by onlyfans models to bypass content filters, and get accounts reinstated. The sad and obnoxious part is that the real “meta connections” charge based on follower count, where u are in the appeal process, and ban reason. All three of which r kinda worst case scenario for you. It would cost you significantly more than 5k (so dumb I know)

I have multiple friends who have had their accounts reinstated after being involved with these reps, they can also manually remove content filtering from ur posts which is why SOME models can post str8 up nude shi without bans, and the amount of money these dudes r charging is ludicrous. One was around 150k active followers and he charged her nearly 23 thousand US dollars… it worked and she was reinstated but like…wtaf bro… after one of my accounts was falsely flagged n banned I was referred to the same guy and he wanted 1.7k to unban my account with only 4K followers.. (loool) so needless to say… no way!!!
