I agree with that. Only you are suggesting a "conspiracy".

I am not suggesting we ban people from getting paid, I am not leading a
"witch hunt", I only advocate for transparency and honesty.

Are you against transparency and honesty?

On the other hand, I have observed in the past patches that were of poor
quality and suspected they were the result of sponsorships. I would like
to know. Would you not?
