My general thesis is that Voat has both organic users and inorganic accounts.
I theorize the following are in the "inorganic" bucket:
Government employees doing their jobs.
Foreign country employees doing their jobs.
Private interests (Corporate Espionage) doing their jobs.
Data miners and data scientists collecting data or creating bots, for profit.
From the organic users, the glut of the users appear to be from Canada, the EU, and America. Quite a lot of younger folk, compared to other parts of the Internet.

If they're disruption agents fouling up the feed with nonsense and wasting legit' users' time in doing so - they do their jobs well.

First time we've ever agreed. I think the team Israel paid accounts run the place.
