This is part of a long-term "Voat is compromised" narrative related to PIA that was initiated nine months ago by Nomochomo

To be fair that has been said for years now.

And with putt mia for 6 months now (and when he does log in, refuses to clean house) its safe to say voat is compromised.

And probably has been since day 1.

I think it has been a gradual decline over time. When Atko stepped down all hell seemed to break loose. Then when changes were announced. Etc. Etc.

Since there isn't a long term plan, I have half expected us to get nuked since the last time Putt disappeared. Shame really, I like this place.

Why isn't there a permanent merch section?

T shirts, hats, koozies, keychains, whatever people buy nowadays.. only helps bring people aboard while generating some revenue.

Look at barstool sports as an example: founder has preached since day 1 to its audience "if you can afford it please consider helping us out and buying our shit because it's the ONLY way to ensure that we produce non-cucked content and that we don't have to worry about spinning narratives for fear of sponsors dropping us"

The (((bank))) dropped credit card processing. I can't remember if it was during or after the merch event that they dropped Voat. No other banks or processors would touch us.

I think there were only stickers, t-shirts, and hoodies. Then Voat couldn't find a company willing to produce any more stuff for us, if I recall correctly.

It got to the point where Atko was emailing people to make sure users got their orders.

gotcha. why not just use bitcoin?

Few people (general public) have bitcoin and at the time fewer businesses accepted bitcoin as a payment option.
