So I was hashing it out, looking into stuff myself and noticed something that I've not seen anyone talk about.
Putt said he was going to get on a regular schedule to post updates.

I will get on a regular schedule after this month by posting a GOAT statement on the 1st (or closest business day after) starting next month.
That was 11 months ago.
To me thats more fishy than anything else. I don't know or understand anything bitcoin. I don't care about what people say about his "tone" on a certain day. I don't even really care that he doesn't fix bugs too often. But saying you're going to do something (something this simple) and then just not doing it rubs me the wrong way.

Problem is I don't have the time manage Voat as a business. I'd think that just keeping it up and running (mostly) would satisfy users but people always want more from me.
It's like people think I have nothing but Voat in my life and I'm just flat out neglecting it.
I can't do enough to satisfy this community.
Plus I'm burned out big time. I'd invite anyone to put the amount of hours I've put into Voat over more than THREE YEARS, not ever getting paid for a single one, writing a massive ground breaking framework to give the community a new voice (BY MYSELF), only to be met with an onslaught of criticism and anger and then to treat Voat as a priority.
It's not a conspiracy. It's rather simple.

Putt we love you and appreciate everything you’ve done. Voat is a very important thing to hundreds of people.
Could we pay you for your time? In a perfect world, you could work on voat full time...
Are you at all open to the idea of doing what Atko did, and pass the site on. I understand any hesitancy, as one person with the reigns could easily fuck everything up. But consider choosing an apprentice. Allowing him to be tested, and slowly take on more responsibility.
Theodore_Kent has been a popular choice when I’ve floated this proposal to other users. I think we all accept that the decision is entirely yours to make, just a suggestion that I know is popular.
Granted I’m not sure what skill-set is required to run voat..

If I could do anything to help, I would. But I know nothing about running Voat :(
