Like it or not, a bit of money goes a long way in diplomacy.Sure. But then we need good underlying mechanism that other civs just won't accept gifts to improve relationships or accept friendships and alliances and that they won't take even favorable trades in regard to diplomatic favors. iirc civ V had other things than money for diplomacy victory as well, but it didn't matter much in the end - if you were rich enough, you could just buy victory.
Admittedly, civ VI is already much better since you can't buy suzerainship with money. This alone would make it harder to get votes from CS.
It's also weird looking to spam seaside resorts.

But it does sound like only part of the equation. Hopefully grievances and diplomatic favour are tied together in some way, i.e. having a ton of grievances has negative impact on your diplomatic favour.
