Mine is that it's NSA owned and operated.
Well nothing has been said about the financial statement for a long while. At one point there was an announcement that said "Give me all your money or the site is going to go down within a week!" the community had a huge drive, then donations, ads, and merchandise was no longer available to purchase/donate.

My theory is that if it did get honeypotted, they wouldn't want anymore $$ coming in because that's the one thing you could trace to who took control. That last drive was just a bonus for them on the way out.

What use is it as a honeypot? Would that be for nations that don't have freedom of speech? As an American I don't see anything illegal going on.

I remember reading that announcement. It didn't seem like there was a lot of follow-up after that, but I don't really use the site now so I wouldn't know. It is only of interest to me because I used to use it and most of our users filter in from there.

Yeah I don't recall anything mentioning money on Voat for a year and a half now, since that donation drive. People have been begging to give money essentially and nothing has every been said.
EDIT: https://phuks.co/s/Whatever/28428/0537a63c-1975-4d84-b355-e8974a3edda3 something mentioned in the other Voat thread.
EDIT2: https://voat.co/v/bitcoin/1871513/9169459 Looks like that statement is wrong from the first glace at this thread.

It's just a massive drain and nobody wants to deal with it. The financial situation has not been anywhere near good in the past 2-3 years and I have no idea how it's even still up. If crypto did not have a very sharp increase in value, I definitely do not think it would still be around.
The userbase has always had a lot of drama going on that can be difficult to deal with too. I got a feeling a long time ago now that it was starting to get to Atko when he was still actively working on the site.
