Scarily a lot of these orgs are funded by governments as well.

In many cases governments are paying lobbyists to lobby them.

We're all paying for this through our taxes.

Edit: see this example for Scotland. https://twitter.com/LiviaBurlando/status/1192403413306421248?s=19

Each country will have their own set of government funded orgs doing the same thing.

And goverment hired-ups are having a piece of the cake as well, and making some money on this (or maybe even straight up paid, if it is USA).
