Why NOT TO advertise, donate and purchase/buy on/to/from Voat.co
According to our moral values, our sense of justice and our sane mind,
it's a bad idea to pay money to
voat.co (Atko and PuttItOut. Atko is the Bosnian Muslim Atif Colo).
We already explained a lot about
why NOT TO advertise on voat.co.
Why now we're reminding you not to advertise on, donate to and buy/purchase from voat.co
The reason is that (as we informed you already
there) recently they (the Bosnian Muslim 'Atko' and that 'PuttItOut') are begging the voaters (the voat.co's visitors and members) for more money again!
PuttItOut announced a few days ago that "Voat Merchandise Available!" (their subdomain
store.voat.co) and he explained that voat.co has not finalized financing. (This means they are 'ENTIRELY user supported', and this is where things get serious: if they can't sustain operation costs via donations, ads and merchandise then their 'runway is limited'. And by purchasing voat.co merchandise you help in 2 very important ways: It helps keep voat.co running, and secondly you're helping voat.co with grassroots marketing (guerrilla marketing). Both are critical to our community’s future.
The Bosnian Muslim (Atif Colo, aka 'Atko') 12-13 days ago made his 'A public call for funding', where he publish that Voat.co gets money 'primarily' from the voaters' donations and ad-sales, but ad-sales have so far been unable to cover the expenses (donations and ads combined can no longer cover voat.co's hosting fees). They don’t want to change what voat.co 'stands for' or voat.co's 'core principles', and thus they need 'your help' (i.e. they need more and more your and others money!). If you have contacts or relationships with potential investors who also believe in and support their 'Freedom of Speech' commitment (which is fake and we explain it many times here in seo-forum-seo-luntan), 'please let us know and please let them know that we need their help'. (And until they have a permanent solution, they need you to donate, buy ads and merchandise...)
NOW about the so called 'Free Speech' on voat.co -- It's
fake. (Don't forget that they're banning a lot of websites even AGAINST THEIR OWN RULES; Don't forget that 'Fat People Hate' bans and silences many people too, also against the 'Free speech' declared by voat.co!). See this post of a person nicked 'SaneGoatiSwear':

Once again this is why NOT TO advertise, donate and purchase (buy) on voat.co, to voat.co and from voat.co. Well, it's up to you anyway; we don't (and we can't) press anybody to give them money or not to give them money. You're free people and you decide how to spend and how to respect your money!

I saw a website which has only around 5000~6000 posts (articles) and I think it has only 1 (or few) people who work on it BUT it has much more traffic (visitors, readers) than voat.co! The second part is that I (and some other friends and colleagues) found some nearly great ideas about what to post and develop here, so I think we also may got more popularity than voat.co! I'll be proud, if this comes true!
