Why not put an Amazon affiliate link on the top bar of VOAT for everyone to click on before they shop?

LargePep, can you make this comment on the main thread I linked to? No one who can do anything with the idea will see it here. :-)

In short:

  • Voat has received donations to run for at least 3-4 months with the current burn rate
  • Donation in 5 days after Voat's "Angel" request were $27,352 (Store + BTC)
  • PuttiOut details that Voat's highest monthly bill is $6,600.90, added by Cloudfare expenses and "a few other small things"
  • In short run, Voat needs to "reduce operating costs significantly" and "get organized as a community":
    "I will need volunteers to help with Voat's operations such sales, marketing, and community relations"
    "Voat also needs a lawyer for a few small things"
  • plans for migrating Voat to an open runtime will be announced at v/voatdev

cheers, had a bit of a read in the dev thread but it's a bit above my head. would a migration mean anything different for users and how they access things like this subverse?

Okay I am WAY out of the loop here, have read the Angel announcement and skimmed some comments... Can anyone give me the short version regarding Voat's longevity though?

Should I be concerned that one of the most pivitol elements of pizzagate, may cease to exist in the near future?

voat has come into some finance issues it seems and need community help to maintain server costs aswell what is mentioned above.
