1) Voat has a small population and therefore does not represent a lucrative place to bother with when better opportunities can be had at places like Reddit.
2) Voat has a reputation involving racists, fat-people shamers and an anything goes environment. Not exactly an environment companies look to shine their brand or own reputation among.
3) If Voaters discover corruption and corporate influence, the reaction is likely to be more vitriolic than at other avenues. Not worth it for most companies.
Not much. Right now we're small enough to be off the radar and most big corporations wouldn't want to be associated with us anyway because of the two most popular subverses.
That said, it's not at all unlikely that it could/already is happening.
And likely will have more corruption because of the way the site's mail is handled. Mods can't report other mods doing shilling in mod mail like how it happened in /r/starwarsbattlefront because mod mail doesn't exist. The "Message the Moderators" button sends each mod an individual message.

Three things:
1) Voat has a small population and therefore does not represent a lucrative place to bother with when better opportunities can be had at places like Reddit.
2) Voat has a reputation involving racists, fat-people shamers and an anything goes environment. Not exactly an environment companies look to shine their brand or own reputation among.
3) If Voaters discover corruption and corporate influence, the reaction is likely to be more vitriolic than at other avenues. Not worth it for most companies.

You really think Protectvoat can stop shilling? It can barely stop censorship and that is with help from others.

Nothing that I know of, other than this site isn't as popular as reddit yet, so it might not merit the attention from the greedbags yet.
