+@subsection Can votes be bought?
+
+You can hire a developer (for example on fiver) to submit 20 patches within
each 3 years,
+and vote as you ask her to.
+In the last votes (as of begin 2025) about 30 votes where cast, so hiring
about 20-30 developers
+allows controlling any decision. These developers also can pass KYC and travel
to conferences (which has
+been always paid). They also have a strong incentive not to reveal their
nature as that would end
+this lucrative income stream for them.
+
+@subsection Why is the GA more corporate than community-oriented?
+
+In recent years, a significant number of developers contributing to the
project are employed by companies,
+unlike in the past. These employees are often compensated for specific tasks,
and the voting rights,
+much like the copyrights, can typically be controlled by their employers.
