Option 1, simply because investors always ruin everything.
They're concerned with P&L, not with whatever passion you have for your product. Using investors means that you are making a decision to sacrifice what your company stands for to suit their needs and get their money. It happened to Reddit, and it absolutely will happen again here.
In fact, Voat is already under attack from people who seek to control it. @henrycorp is already trying by eating up subverses, and we've seen how /v/Chicago and /v/niggers have BOTH been compromised.
The fact that a mod admitted to an investor trying to regulate Voat's content shows that I'm not too far off the mark. This is why we need Option 1, it's the only option that lets Voat stay true to what Voat stands for... Free speech and lack of censorship.
I don't like /v/niggers. Censoring them, however, is massively detrimental to everyone, as it's certainly going to lead to Reddit all over again.
