I used Omegle a lot when it was still text-only chat more that a decade ago. Overall I had a positive experience, It was fun talking to strangers from all over the world. I never tried their video chat though, so I can't say if it's actually that horrible. Back then when it was text-only, so at least I don't have to worry about seeing some dicks. But if child predators favor the site now, even if Omegle went back to text-only, they'll still find a way to trick kids just like in other chat platforms.
Agreed, this is why although I'm amazed by their concept, there is no way I will ever use Omegle for video chat: seeing some dicks.
I tried the text-only but still struggling on that because of non native English speakers.
