There are plenty at Twitter and TikTok too.

Sadly I can't find anyone to pay off at Google yet to fix my gmail (I have the username, password, and everything is forwarded to the recovery email I own, I just lost access to the phone number and they enabled 2FA without asking).

Reddit also, I can't find anyone there to unban my friend's account that got locked (due to a server outage), even after speaking directly to spez about it.

One tip: if your IG/FB account get suspended, then it's way cheaper to get it unbanned via black hat routes than if you roll the dice and try to appeal it. Appeals often end in perma-bans that are much harder for Meta employees to undo.

I'm permabanned IP-banned from reddit and it is so aggravating. Appeal is auto-rejected. :( Wish I knew someone there to help me out!

Why not just use a VPN?

The only blackhat routes I came across were thousands of dollars...
