Reading the article it sounded more like he was tired of dealing with people who hated on the platform - like you.
They had moderators working full time and numerous protections in place (including AI that detected nudity). They actually led to the arrest of many paedophiles and had numoerous contacts with international law enforcement and child protection agencies.
If you read the article you'd see he was more ruined by the people screeching it needs to be shut down because it was a nest of paedos. People who'd probably never fucking used the site (like you) who'd just heard rumours (like you) and had no fucking clue about the moderation and arrests that went on in the background.
Guess what - paedos will always fucking exist. If anything Omegle was a honeypot for the stupid few who thought they could use it and get away with it only to find out they couldn't and got arrested.
Instead now paedos will go elsewhere. More underground. Harder to find. Harder to catch.
Congratulations. You're ignorant pearl clutching is precisely what the site admin couldn't deal with anymore and you've made paedos harder to catch in the act.
I hope you're proud.
