Putt finally decided to grace Voat with his presence in one of the threads:

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.

This does offer the more reasonable explanation: That Putt is basically burned out and apathetic because he doesn't want to do anything about, to, on, or with Voat, yet he also won't bring on anyone to help him (even though he pretends he'd like help)--probably because then he couldn't project the facade that he's some type of martyr because he does everything by himself. Sheesh man, responsibilities are hard! You know, coming on once a month to give updates...brutally difficult.

Putt doesn't care, but won't bring on people who do care. He doesn't even care enough to tell people what happened with the extended blackout. This guy is basically pissing on Atko's creation and the users who donated because he selfish. He claims he doesn't have time to do anything with Voat but also won't let anyone else help.

I think it's kind of intentional at this point. I honestly think he's doing everything he can to piss off most of the userbase so they leave and then he and his buddies can have the run of the place. It seems to be a gigantic passive aggressive move in which he can clean house without having to do anything.

I think voat was long ago served with some sort of warrant, and when that happened putt realized that the userbase would never trust him again since he couldn't dispel the concerns. This really only left him with the option to cut his losses, letting voat wither and die so he can liquidate the bitcoin without accusations of scamming being an issue.

I personally believe putt is being genuine, despite not telling the whole story. I think he really is burnt out, frustrated, busy, and otherwise out of options. I think he really does care for voat, but can still see a sinking ship for what it is.

I don't hold anything against putt assuming that they really were served. One way or another voat is dead to me, but I'll remember it fondly.

I'll continue to lurk as long as it's up, as some users are still posting decent news articles. As for Putt, it always seemed to me that he liked the "prestige" of being the admin, but didn't want the actual responsibility of being the admin.
