Stops me. I say we let Calexit happen; they'll be begging to come back within a year, at which point we could play hardball. Going Sherman on them would just be throwing good money after bad(especially since it comes with an obligation to rebuild, unlike reannexation).
a lot of shills insist they aren't being paid tho, but honestly in my eyes this makes them look worse when other people are paid for what they do for free
They're charging 0.02 bitcoin per unit, where 1 unit is an upvote / downvote, 3 is a comment, 5 is a submission?
That's $14.75 per upvote/downvote? Jesus. We'll burn their money in no time if that's a real rate. Of course if this is an old post, it'd be a lot less. Still.
We won't have to. They're $450 Billion in debt to bondholders, have sky-high local taxes (10% in some places) and their constitution was amended to peg property taxes at a flat 1% of property value, starving local governments and forcing reliance on State and Federal funds for solvency as a result. And despite the sky-high income and carbon taxes they charge, they still have the worst roads in the nation (aside from D.C., but D.C. isn't a state). Cut off Federal funds from secession, and pull all military bases and hardware from the area, and the newly-founded country will be bankrupt within 6 months, if that long.
Creditors will tear them apart, if the constant infighting between "Inner-city youths" and "Migrants who just want to make something of themselves" don't do it first.
Also entirely right. It's Bazaarbay.org selling the service, which is the site whose WHOIS info I linked not bazaarbay.com.
What are you getting at, here?
Edit: Disregard that, I suck cocks. Apparently Bazaarbay.org is a site not too unlike Craigslist, where independent third parties list services and goods for sale. I stand corrected.
Registered in 2014? That's an awfully long troll...either really dedicated and in it for the long game, or just that stupid not to turn it into a legit business, if so.

Of course, because why wouldn't they be in...

To be fair, baazarbay.com is located in SF... so is Twitter, eBay, Yelp, Salesforce, Uber, Lyft... you get the idea.
These clowns brigading Voat could be anywhere, and given their hours, are probably not in the PST. Eastern Europe or Asia are far more likely.
CrazyInAnInsaneWorld ago
True. I'm just pointing out the coincidence that a company that is so diametrically opposed to Voat's values happens to be stationed in SF.
srgmpdns ago
And I'm pointing out that baazarbay.com is not the company selling the service.

So someone is definitely making a business out of manipulating Voat. I wonder how big it is. Also, here's an archive in case it disappears.
