Volk Network & Volk TV were started because I thought I could outrun the hammer. Turns out hammers don’t chase – they just swing once and you’re done.
I’ve been living with fallout for years – censorship, frozen accounts, zero interviews, no welfare, no safety net. You eventually do starve out. And I am.
Every month I’m bleeding cash to keep servers lit while Dad’s 85 and no plan B exists. I made mistakes. Big ones. Tried to build too fast, on fumes…
If you’re pissed – fair. If you’re hurt – fair. I’m sorry. Not for the message, just for the mess.
I’m stripping back to what survives: the news site, the store, whatever AI I can hide in a backpack. Those sites can be ran on other servers, something that costs me very little.
If I’m homeless tomorrow, those stay up. That’s the promise.
Hail victory – even if it tastes like dirt right now.
