Last? To me it looks more like they never even thought about how they could get cash. An option to donate bitcoin, CC for part of the time, merch about twice a year.
It looks to me more like Putt pulls an Atko, and he had enough of this site eating up his lifetime with bullshit as well.
Well, they haven't been paying to run voat out of their own pockets for a long time. They have had a few donation runs and what not that infused them with capital with pizza-chasers being the last large one. Atko and Putt are why that site became shit, and thus are the reason for their own endings. There's about a zero percent chance that they will ever gain a solid investor. That site is like a new diet version of storm front. The only way putt can make a least a little profit or some of his money back if he's been paying is to do exactly what he's just done.
I agree, complete missmanagment and they only have themselves to blame. The irony is they got handed the goose with the golden egg and could have cashed big time.
So one last cash grab before he closes down?
