You're right about the VCs. It was about around that time. The whole PIA "post a picture of yourself and win VPN access for a year" thing was shady as hell.
the whole atmosphere of the site changed around then and it was gay.
On the other hand, I understand where putt became a curmudgeon. Seemed like he wanted to move onwards and upwards but got stuck babysitting faggots. It was fun while it lasted but I'm glad to see that @aou has kept the shit tier garbage at bay that proliferated voat.
The difference is that Poal (all services included: vid8, chat, mumble, live-radio-cast...) runs on a little less than $200/month and is still smooth as butter (with zero downtime, except for low level updates), even when you know that it's been under daily DDoS attacks since before Poal moved to the new host (early this year).
The kosher salt won't stop to flow, which means we're doing it right.
