It’s embarrassing but it’s true, I just can’t keep it up. I’ve tried meditation, I’ve tried prayer, I’ve tried reaching out for help. Some solutions worked for a little while but nothing has remedied the underlying issue. No matter what I do, I simply just can’t keep it up. I expect most will be disappointed and let down, while others will just point and laugh. So be it, it’s a problem every man like me will face at some point.
One thing is true though, while I kept it up, it was glorious in many ways. It was the hardest (website to corrupt with CCP rules), it was the biggest (bundle of laughs ever… 4chan raids us and we didn’t even notice), it was bulging (with red pills and truth that you can’t find anywhere else), it was throbbing (with people eager to teach others the deception of the world). It’s so great in so many ways that it has a list of haters who will be extremely aroused by this post.
I know I’m going to get a hundred PMs from all of Voat’s hottest girls (Voat has some hot women, fact) with tips and tricks on how to help me keep it up. While I appreciate the concern and the offers of lending me a hand, we’re just going to have accept the situation for what it is- it’s just not going to be much fun for anyone.

What happened
I fight not being bitter and resentful. You see, this wasn’t supposed to happen, at least not now. The short of it is that the “Angel” defaulted on the contract in March 2020. This is when Voat lost all of it’s funding. I personally decided to keep Voat up until after the U.S. election of 2020. I’ve been paying the costs out of pocket but now I’m out of money.
A New Perspective
Instead of feeling pity or vengeful, I’m instead going to celebrate the fact that Voat stayed up for so long. In my opinion, Voat is and will always be the biggest dysfunctional family on the internet. Voat users were much more intimate with each other than other sites (chances are you have a handful of enemies and a handful of friends that you can list by name at a moment’s notice). Voat always had a better community dynamic than any other site on the internet. Considering everything, Voat was untouchable. There will never be another Voat and each of us had the opportunity to enjoy it. That’s awesome.
Some say life is worth it all if you can help just one single person. In this way I know Voat was worth it because you guys have changed thousands and thousands of people’s hearts and minds. You’ve made so many people aware of the lies taught as truth and the truth taught as conspiracy. It’s beautiful. What a great thing.
I love you all. Every single one of you. I hope you all have a life filled with overflowing joy and happiness. So many of you have been so selfless over the years, helping in so many ways. My heart is just touched when I think of all the good that was generated. Fucking love you guys (Say it in a slurred drunken voice).
Another great thing is that we stayed true over here on our end. Atko and I never betrayed our users. Never once. In fact, I can list example of example of how we ended up doing the right thing over what we wanted to do or what we felt like doing. I’ve come to find that doing the right thing is often the hardest thing. But we did it. We didn’t sell out and we passed the test.
The Sacrifice
I will lay Voat upon the cross on December 25th 2020 at 12 noon PST. I have chosen Christmas as the day to do so in honor of the only True thing you will find in this world and that is Jesus Christ, the son of God, and the only way to the Father. I chose 12 noon in honor of the twelve disciples who spread the message of salvation to the world. In this way, my hope is that perhaps 12 people will carry the cross for Freedom of Speech and sacrifice part of their lives for an ideal in the way I did, but hopefully with much more success, glory, and reward.
The Triumph of Defeat
It seems like a great time to share one of my favorite quotes, so I will leave it here.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
For those who I’ve let down, please forgive me. I’m sorry Atko. I love you like a brother.
Edit:
-
You guys crack me up, even now you accuse me of being mossad or a honey pot. If I keep it up or shut it down I'm the same thing. Damned if you do, damned it you don't.
-
Trust me, I want to drop every dirty detail about the Angel and the act of betrayal that Voat has suffered. But it is written:
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay", saith the Lord. Romans 12:19
&
Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for what he has done.” Proverbs 24:29
- The secret reality of the world we live in is that winners and losers are chosen by the power structure. If you don't play the game, you don't get any prizes (aka $$$). Shutting down is the consequence of not compromising ideals.
I chose a noble death.

I know my acct is not common to most of you, but I was a longtime lurker without an account for preventative measures looking at getting of the grid in short time and not having traces of internet when the social credit score history comes up and shows (((for a price))) a person's most searched/social media links/possible tax bracket, etc.
Only made this acct when they made us have an account to even view the homepage. From all of us that lurk as I do, we thank all of those that did their best to share their perspective and sliver of knowledge in this fucked up demonted fantasy land that is being taken over. This sacred digital land to all of us that are seeking truth for the purpose of not selfish gain, but for the seeds we will sow. Am aryan myself. This is the time for all of you to become better man than the world left you, what else you going to do? This is your only chance, only physical life with white skin as far as we know, especially if you are nobley white like me. If you are not disabled aka god gave you 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes and 2 ears. Then you better not be a lazy cunt and do what you must even if it means self-sacrifice. No gay sucide ops unless it's last resort and if you are going to at least make an attempt at those that have been named as enemies of your town/city/state/country/world. The bigger the better and you will not be forgotten on the day of revision for the better. Fuck the freemasons, we as men will build memorials and plaques dedicated to those that contributed big or small. Put me on a list puttiout but I and all the others will not die so easily. Maybe you'll get us when we are old weak and weary, but to that I say that is life well lived.
Sayonara puta nigger faggots and shit for brains.
