I cannot believe it was alive this long.
Frankly this is the first I’m hearing it was still around. I assumed it had shut down years ago.
What happened to omegle?
It met it’s inevitable demise due to moderation being a neverending uphill battle
That’s a dangerous niche to operate in. It’s a userbase that wants pure freedom and randomness. But as a business you can’t have middle-aged men trying to see underaged girls naked. As a teen I frequented Omegle and Chatroulette but we’re well past the Wild West days of the web
Racism and sexual abuse
But that was the lifeblood of Omegle from the start
What the hell is Harry Mack about to do?!?
Qrd? (Quick rundown for boomers)
Omegle is a site where people talk to strangers. Closed down after 14 years.
I used to use Omegle, that’s so sad. I saw a few years ago they turned to a more closed off model whereas it used to be more open and random. Maybe that had something to do with it
Turns out there was one social platform with a conscience. It’s closed now. Normal business resumes.
I mean i don’t know if I’d describe a platform where perverts jerk off in front of kids as one with conscience but it’s 2023
From what I read it wasn’t its original purpose. But the closing part was probably the conscience I inferred. I never used it personally I had to click the link to work out what it was.
It’s 2023 like you said, if we had a conscience we would cut the cables making the internet
