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.

Dearest lovely, Putt,
For whatever reason, at this point in history, instead of just a guy that writes code, you have become one man holding back the darkness. You didn't ask for this burden and it is honestly more than most people can bare.
But what you do is not for naught. They attack you because they know they cannot win unless they convince you to stop playing.
There are few men left with courage and principles. I want to see you get through this.
Most importantly, we can't help your burden if you never tell us what you need and how much it cost. If you asked it of us, we would send you on a vacation today. Bots could automate announcements and updates. We could research payment processors for you. You could even give us a proper scolding for being shitheads if that is what you need.
