Or maybe they have come to realize that the users of Voat are by and large complete fucking wingnut idiots, that the window of opportunity for Voat to take off and be anything more than a haven for idiots, wingnuts, and morons has passed, and that they don't feel like wasting their time on such a project anymore.

I don't want it to die either, but if you look at how often they were around a year-plus ago compared to now, and what's happened to the site's popularity as it basically became a Trump campaign website (if Alexa is to be believed), this seems to me to be pretty likely what happened. I don't blame them.

Alternatively, for a v/conspiracy theory, aliens, man.

that's a sad theory. plausible and possible...

these guys initially partnered with amazon to do ad deals and technically banned a "problem sub" years quicker than eddit.. that's from the this post: https://medium.com/@infinitechan/what-do-we-know-about-voat-a8cf71eda45

also, yes, totally could be aliens.
