funny how this "free" site is entirely made up of the individual time, effort, and work of Voat users like myself, who take time out from our jobs and families to produce material that keeps this "free site" worth anything. Nobody comes here for Putt, or to look at the pretty layout. Yeah I give credit to creating the site, and keeping it running, but beyond that, I'm not sure we can set the bar much lower for our expectations of Voat's leader. We 'consumers' (required to login as members, and also content posters) should be so grateful to be able share our own work and ideas on this honey-pot holding pen that is always in maintenance.
Why would Putt be afraid to get a PO box, request donations, or even risk lose this site altogether, when it's not monetized, no donations are taken, and he has no intention of growing Voat? So it's not about financial security. Then what's the motive for running the site? It must be free speech, but the logic doesn't make sense. If Voat cared so much about free speech (kinda strange to quarantine that message and not market yourself dontcha think?) to be so conservative and protective by not seeking funding, isn't it strange that Voat seems to take every action with this site that indicates Voat's administrators wish to lose the info war? Because if there is not a course correction, we all know, in a few years Voat will not exist. Either Putt is lying.....or an incompetent coward afraid of risk who refuses receiving help.

I found a sandwich in the park. I took a bite and my question is, why wasn’t there any mayonnaise on it?
