To be fair, and noting that I had only been a voat member for maybe two years, it was in decline the entire time I was reading it. Still good enough to visit and read, but with all of the down-time it had shed a lot of users and content. At its prime I was getting news .5-2 days before any other outlets were carrying it. Plus all of the jew facts and 4chan meme scrapes. Hopefully Poal can live up to that and surpass it.
