Dang that’s actually really sad. Omegle, for all its faults, was sort of like the weird alleyway that you could go to and know that you’d have some kind of interesting experience.
I’m sad to see it gone.
And one of the last major holdouts from web 1.0 :(
What? That’s very much 2.0
How is an online chat not user-generated content?
That’s a well written goodbye. Sad to see it go
What will the Omegle prank Youtubers gonna do now?
A really powerful statement, and I completely understand their decision.
Agreed. Very well written. Clearly Leif is a person that should be a leader in the communication space. Its such a shame that we’re losing him to this fight. :(
Noooo! I was just on Omegle talking to strangers from around the world last week! I used it occasionally for a decade and had a lot of fun talking to people. This hurts.
That’s sad. I’m sorry for the girl and others who got molested over the internet but I don’t really see that as the sites fault. How about poor parental supervision? Just let an 11 year old use the internet with free reign and don’t notice when she’s sending a pedo photos for 3 years?
Lol damn, I didn’t know it was still up.
Aww man, that means no more furry omegle videos. Those were always funny to watch.
Ngl, those were some of my favorite videos during the COVID lockdown.
Where will I find random penises to laugh at now?!
Very nearly any other website, including this one.
Yeah it’s not equivalent at all bubba
Call me maybe
Oh… no…?
won’t someone think of the poor poor pedos
