This is kind of sad. I've been using the site a fair amount recently to help get through some depressive episodes and the social withdrawal/isolation that come with them. Granted, about 50% of conversations were bots, and 40% were guys just looking for girls to send them nudes, but the other 10% or so was pretty interesting conversations.
I guess this will be the impetus to get back out and socialize IRL again. Or to find a new chat-with-randos service. Or to keep spiraling deeper into depression. We'll see.
Edit: It was also kinda nice to be treated like a woman without being treated differently for being trans.
Chat Roulette was the original random video chat platform. It's still on the go.
