>Dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

Don't see much dishonest. And honestly, it may fall under a bribe, but bribe implies the person in power was the one who affected you. Which clearly isn't the case here.

In my eyes, this is just making a public service of something we 100% know people who make tech companies profitable already have access to.




This is an unsanctioned, under-the-table payment to someone in power in exchange for special treatment. You're saying this /may/ fall under bribery?


It's only slightly lower in my eyes than an influencer getting sanctioned, private access to someone in power in exchange for continuing to kinda be an employee (but not actually). I mostly want to emphasize that the "official" ways to do this was already razor thin.
