When did Omegle die? Did it go while I was not looking?

Yup, it passed quietly surrounded by friends and family. Hasn't been too many days (I think…). The CEO (or founder? Whoever) pulled the plug because they just didn't want to deal with it anymore iirc

edit: Omegle shut down: Video chat website closed after abuse claims. 15h ago, not days ago lol

I never used it myself, but I'm surprised this didn't happen years ago. I actually thought it shut down in 2016 or something.

Yeah same, I thought it was long gone. Seems a bit like it was more undead than alive

I just saw an article on here a day or two ago about it. They shut down after a sexual abuse lawsuit.
