Also 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.

How disappointing.

If it is satire, bravo.

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”?

tracking and publicizing them is a great start, bribes are easy to ask for in a fractured bureaucracy where the people taking them aren't closely monitored and the people paying them are generally uninformed

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.

Has anybody reported a refusal and managing to complete their task? I just see 0% whatever I input.

Yes, some of them reported refusal reports. You can find them just on the right side of the Transparency map, State Registry Ledger; then you can filter out them by most refusals, or you can also just browse the reports.
