On this whole Putt business (whatever)

submitted ago by VicariousJambi

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.

I was one of the only guys who defended you and thanked you in that old thread. I was disappointed at all the suspicion and even hate you received, especially considering how much work you put into the site.

I will say this though: If you had just very quickly said back then: "burnt out, and just had a week off to see my mum - will give more detail later", I think that would have done a lot to calm down the atmosphere. I'm not excusing the response you got, but fears would have been allayed.
