#13Also set up a support link for anyone else who'd like to help keep it running: https://bribes.fyi/support
I'm a little disappointed that https://bribes.fyi/bribes doesn't redirect to that support page to be honest.
When I saw the name/tag line I thought this would be a travel advice site, but I like this so much more. Great work.

It is sincere, btw, thanks.
What do you think lend itself to this culture and how will it change? Is it considered normal / unsurprising / accepted? Like, “just cost of doing business”?
Where do you live? Because “this culture” now exists at the top level of the US government, for example. And in fact, even before the current administration, it was an accepted and legal aspect of government, for example “lobbyists” who handed out checks to the representatives whose influence they were controlling.
In the US, it’s only at much lower levels that this is at all frowned on, especially in government. In private business you’ll still find e.g. apartment managers asking for bribes to do their job properly.

#19Just curious, but did any specific anti-corruption campaigns from history in other nations inspire the design here at all?
