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.
Edit: Putts comment on this thread

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.

Well I can't say I was really expecting a reply from the man himself, so thanks for that.
I'm well aware you have a full time job. I'm not really asking for anything other than a monthly update like you said you wanted to do. And a way to donate I guess.
Again, I'm just looking for updates, even it's just "sorry I haven't been able to do much this month, works been killing me" I don't know whats going on with my favorite website. We're still not sure about funds, and quite frankly this is a very controversial website that a lot of people would love to be shut down. We all know money talks, and if I could help out with that I would. I know you said that you wanted to add some way for us to donate, and I'd love to do that.
I realize that you put a lot of your free time into this website. If there was anything I could do to help I would, but I don't know anything about programming and all of that. I know a very long time ago I designed some little stainless steel sheet metal keychains, and another user was going to cut/sell them, but that never went anywhere unfortunately.
You know we're willing to pay you. I myself wanted to buy some shirts and donate but I think I missed out when the credit card operator was still up. I'd like to donate but theres no real option to.
Cheers

""A lot of people" would like to shut voat down".
I think you mean the jews would like to shut voat down.
VicariousJambi ago
I'm sure people besides them would too.

Jews love this place. The anti-semites are constantly posting about how superior Jews are.
dooob ago
Bingo!
Biggest racists and anti-semites on this site are shills.
"Yesss, eat my blackpills, Jews control eveeeerything"
Schreiber ago
Yeah precisely.
It's almost like a subtle worship and portray Jews as demigod who are capable of doing everything. Like attributing Jews for literally everything. Every thread will have "jews did this, jews control this guy, etc." If jews did everything and control everything, are they human or omnipotent ubermensch?

I think @Crensch said it, it is a defeatism tactic to make you feel you cant do anything about it, somehow I forgot to save it, it was a great comment.
Crensch ago
Thanks for the compliment. No clue which comment you're referring to.
If there was something I responded to in @Schreiber's comment, it'd be his strawman of our pointing out Jews at the bottom of virtually every negative thing in society.
ANY nepotistic group working (mostly) unnoticed inside an open, welcoming group of otherwise assimilated individuals can accomplish almost anything. A cabal within an organization can wrest power from those at the top of the visible power structure. This can happen anywhere.
The fact that JEWS do not want to assimilate, and instead want to stab us in the back, doesn't make them better than us, it makes us mistaken for believing them non-threatening, and allowing them to exist among us.
