I suppose it is, because they paid out of their own pocket to keep it up. Which is quite baffling to me because they made no attempt whatsoever outside of bitcoin donations to monetise the site, even when they had a period of a few months where people were flocking to Voat from Reddit.

But we only have their word on how much it all costs, and the funds that they have coming in. They could easily lie, and it definitely wouldn't be the first time a human did so. IMHO, they are profitable and have been for awhile. It's easier to fleece people from their kindness when they think you're doing them a favor.

I really don't think so. Where would the money be coming from?

They get tons of donations and sold a lot of Merch, until they actually release the financial records, you can only take them at their word, and that would be dumb to assume they are truthful.
