This came up before, and a commenter pointed out that all sites like Reddit and Voat are news aggregators, where there's extensive posting of content found elsewhere on the net. The idea being that people find interesting things and bring them here.
So whether something is found on Reddit or comes from some other source doesn't matter. If Voat (or Reddit, for that matter) depended entirely on original content from the content's creator, there would be much less here to entertain and inform us.
I thought it was a good point. I'll mention that in my view, the 'personality' of Voat will determine what people choose to bring here and post, and I'm fine with that.
