There is very little money involved with these marketing campaigns.
The campaign is just moved by a few people working at some foundation
(possibly freedesktop.org), and what they get paid is peanuts.  They
mostly do it to advance their careers or to get invited at conferences.
And the journalists and content creators are not being paid anything.
They just do these articles/videos because they get their ideas of what
to publish from somewhere else.
