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.

There was a short-lived partner program they ran for while back. The only other means of monetization I can think of is through ads. A new one appeared yesterday.

Edit: spelling.

Yeah the ad thing worked for a while but there are not a lot of new ones anymore. How many weeks/months has it been since the one yesterday?

Several. New ad approval stopped roughly when the admins took a summer vacation in August.

Edit: I just recalled that Voat has a merchandise program. A shirt with a goat on it and hoodie, I think.
