Mostly by the government representatives who are elected by the people. Most of the government's representatives, don’t represent people's interests most of the time because of personal biases, and corruption.

8️⃣Quadratic funding: matches funds from donors with funds from the treasury following a quadratic funding model that weights the matching funds as a function of how many supporters it had, as well as the total amount it received(@gitcoin )
