Apparently this lawsuit was the breaking point.
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64618791
Foid decided 10 years later to sue the site that allowed her and her abuser to meet. Not sure how omegle is responsible for the actions of the abuser. However, it doesn't matter because it seems omegle doesn't have the means to fight the battle and decided to close shop. RIP.
Here's an excerpt from the founder's final thoughts. This hit me pretty hard and kinda sums up the noticeable decline of the internet.
I worry that, unless the tide turns soon, the Internet I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection.

Things will evolve. Eventually this site will grow in popularity and be filled with trolls who make it untenable and it'll die, but then something else kinda niche and not filled with r-slurs will take its place.

Yes. The stupid autists who can't help put perform illegal actions in the name of the lulz come with a large platform that allows you to say the n word. It's why kiwifarms is having trouble staying online.
This site is small enough now that it hasn't attracted that yet but give it time.

Ok I kinda see what you're saying. Yeah if the site culture changes enough and becomes something risky like KF.
But right now? Dramatards can barely go reading 2 paragraphs without spamming let alone have the motivation to keep dossiers on lolcows for years on end

Shit I was rereading the Ghostbusters 2016 threads from 7 years ago when it came out. 80% of people were not surprised that all of the reviewers who openly sucked off feminist things were loving it and everyone else hated it. There was actual discussions that wasn't just sucking of the NYT.

I might agree about Trump but he's still an unfunny cute twink

This. If you don't agree with his opinion on Trump then you are part of the problem. Also your use of a homophobic slur is very problematic
