Really ironic and sad in the context of this topic, and right below the quotes like
I haven't been on omegle in years, how bad was the problem? Does it warrant labeling everyone who used the site for good reasons a pedo?
How is it bad faith to suggest not labeling millions of people as pedo who aren't? There's plenty of genuinely human / funny content on YouTube from over the years of stuff that happened on omegle. It sucks that the platform is evaporating. But I agree, if there was a huge problem of pedos and predators that couldn't be controlled closing is probably for the best. People that remember their random adventures on omegle positively and are talking about ways this could've been controlled / avoided aren't pedo sympathizers. They're just nostalgic. No one here is suggesting to fortify a hangout space for pedos. Everyone is trying to keep those people out.
