The following message still displays for new users when first accessing the site:
Users can earn a percentage of our ad-revenue share for the content they submit.
@PuttItOut
I'd like to talk about whether or not we're allowed to see who profits from spreading content on Voat, as per the message, as well as how much they make from doing so. After all, this is a largely community funded website, is it not?
Are we allowed to ask about this, or will someone that makes a post about this get brigaded so they won't talk about it? It looks like there's some users here who aren't fond of me asking these questions. Good thing this is a free speech platform, entirely devoid of stasi/masonic gang stalking to prevent dissent, right?
Also, for anyone that's not just here to shift my meaning or crack consensus, no, I'm not calling anybody a shill. I'm referring to the message one receives when they access Voat from a new device, when a user clears their cookies, or if someone accesses Voat from a new private window.
I tried to ask this question a few hours ago but the post got bombarded within ten minutes by people that stalk me on this site. I think the community deserves to have these questions addressed.

I prefer to shove things down your throat.
Complain about it if you want... It probably won't make me leave, though.
If you pay attention, it might be interesting, for what it's worth.

It sounded like you were annoyed with the thought of me inspiring people to be annoying in obvious ways. Then you mentioned certain people who like to shit the site up. This is me telling you those are the precise things I like to do so that people like you notice what they're up to. Sabotage through amplification - oh the elegance.
