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?
I’ve used it a few times when I was bored and had some random conversations about different topics. I didn’t really like the format to be completely honest. I’d rather use reddit and other platform’s like these.
While this is not for me it sucks that people that abuse these services are a big part of why they are shutting down. It sounds to me like they where actively in contact with law enforcement to battle crimes that where commited there and kudos for that!
Wow, that’s a shock. RIP.
I’ll most miss the musicians spreading random delight. Those were always fun to watch.
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.
Who will TheDooo play guitar for now?
I was thinking about Harry Mack, too. He just posted his 100th Omegle Bars video 5 days ago and said he was going to take a break from the series for a while.

Oddly, I found myself going back many times over the past 15 years or so. Something about the simplicity kept me going intrigued. Guess Trollegle/bellawhiskey, and whatever other chatrooms died as well
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.
That’s a well written goodbye. Sad to see it go
Where will I find random penises to laugh at now?!
Very nearly any other website, including this one.

What will the Omegle prank Youtubers gonna do now?
RIP, truly an end of an era
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.
