NR wants to sell merch. That alone should tell you everything you need to know.

Blacksmith21 ago

I'm not opposed to selling merchandise because it winds up on TV at Trump rallies. I am opposed to exploitation and deception. Is there much difference between "buy my shirt" or "donate to my Patreon, etc."? Many of the research personalities attempt to publish their findings for a living - very difficult to pay the bills.

I agree. I have no issues with people trying to cover the cost of hosting, bandwidth, etc. In fact I remember that a few months ago, NR's site went down for a short time due to exceeding bandwidth allocation. I don't consider trying to make ends meet the same as Corsi-type profiteering.

However, I have become very disturbed by NR's posts and behavior since The Great Diaspora from Reddit. I did not like or appreciate his unfounded attacks on @srayzie and @Shizy. He didn't present any proof that anything was amiss with mods on this sub, but rather just pretty much said, "They're rotten. Trust me because I say so." I was already aware, before landing here, of Voat's reputation for hazing newfags, and I'm fine with that. But @srayzie reached out and welcomed us with open arms, and I thanked her for that.

My opinion of NR has definitely diminished because of all of this!

For the record, I never said anything bad about srayzie or shizy. The article gave them the benefit of the doubt.

But it doesn't matter now. Q gave us a new home.

(Of course, all three of those people involved in creating v/QRV were involved in the creation of v/TheAwakening - but I couldn't talk about that then. Now, I suppose I can). All were all there, coordinating on a chat server together to deploy the new sub when r/GA was taken down. One of the current mods even thought up the name "v/TheAwakening."

It's why I kept trying to urge people to trust me; we had good people behind the new sub. I couldn't inadvertantly doxx anyone, though, so I held back usernames at the time. I had hoped people would listen, but the shills saw their opportunity and capitalized on it, nonstop, for the past, what? Two weeks?

(Seriously, you should see my inbox).

And now, you've ended up with basically the same moderator team anyway. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the mods from v/TheAwakening get added, soon, but I can't say, one way or another.
