That's nuts! I thought that Omegle was text only. I had no idea that they paired you with people on video. WTF thought that was a good idea?!?

It had video for a reeeaally long time.

And that video was full of naked men masturbating, and curious kids, for just as long. It's needed to be dealt with for waaaaaayyyyyy too long now.

I may be misremembering but I feel like it always had video.

Fair enough. Maybe it had video by the time I discovered it or my memory is just failing me.

Idk why this is being downvoted

-1 it's his/er right not to know

-2 "WTF thought that was a good idea?!?" Its a perfectly valid question

I frequent Omegle too when it was text only, like more than a decade ago. Had a good time and didn't see a single dick.
