I have been here for a good while, originally OzarkMoutainGoat. I don't comment much anymore, I just lurk. This site is basically dead, it has been so for a while. It was dead from get-go. The admin hates the user base and a substantial subsection of the user base goes way out of their way to be unpalatable to anyone but the initiated.

In every business, you will hate most if your customers. Websites are not an exception.

Most developers and admins have no business training so it is difficult for them to tackle this aspect of a website.

From the surface view, to us users, I don't see how Voat could be considered a business. It's more like a vanity affair or a sociology project.

Le_Squish ago

Philosophically voat isn't a business but logistically it is.

How is the site making money? From my understanding r/the_donald gave a bunch and then fucked off. Is there another revenue stream now?

Le_Squish ago

You are thinking too simply. Revenue is only 1 aspect of a business.

Monteblanc ago

I takes real money to keep the lights on. If you are running a business and you care about anything other than the bottom line you are destined to failure. Revenue is everything.

Le_Squish ago

Once again, you are thinking too simply. Revenue does not magically make a business venture successful and lack of it does not destine one to fail. There are many indirect paths to profitability.

Monteblanc ago

It looks like you are thinking too grandly. How are the bills getting paid for this site? Do all of the admin work for free?

You really aren't equipped for this discussion so I'm gonna leave you to your own devices.

You apparently are a girl and your opinion doesn't matter much. The only business you should be trusted in, is selling pussy, even then you would need a pimp to maintain a revenue stream.

What a shitty response, "You've got a pussy & therefore shouldn't talk."

Monteblanc ago

Go over the conversation again. My argument is that business relies on money and nothing more. Her argument is that I'm thinking too simply and implied that intention matters. So in this case

"You've got a pussy & therefore shouldn't talk."

Applies well.

Business relies on a lot more than just money, we're not talking about a hotdog stand here but it's a good way to illustrate it :

If you have all the funds to buy you supplies, does that make your business appealing ? Nope. If you have zero personality & no hygienic practices, will that attract customers ? Nope. If your location sucks and not enough people come by, will having funds help you grow ? Nope.

A really quick example of why money isn't the only thing that matters in a business.

In regards to funding, afaik the exponential growth of Bitcoin since the last donation drive is what allowed funding to take a back seat & have Putt give his energy to lowering operating costs.

In this case, having a cock doesn't make you more business savy than @Le_Squish.

I wouldn't buy pussy from you knowing you only care about money in the end, your whores probably would be disgusting by lack of care.

This makes sense, it's funny that it took a man to explain her point.

She didn't feel like it.

But how come you didn't know that ? Shouldn't a man be well informed ?

Monteblanc ago

Don't confuse knowing with caring.

Rotteuxx ago

For someone who doesn't care you sure make it seem as if you did.
