@DireGoth03 stranger: “a person with whom one has had no personal acquaintance” - blood relatives literally mean the exact opposite of this definition. I get what you meant tho
@DireGoth03 Doesnt justify it at all, parents should protect girls in my country from predatory foreign guys 40 years older. Funny many of them talk like you, justify getting to know others through "online". Foreigners can get f
Omegle is an interesting place, to say the least. You can meet a really nice person and have a nice chat or you can meet a creep that wants to do unspeakable things to you. I just hope these issues get resolved and we can stay on the bright side
no actually, just because it is removed from front of your eyes dosnt mean its not there. If anything its ignorant. and i feel like its better to meet creeps not with a bad motive but it makes you realiz some people you meet might just be bad. Its freedom. But yes freedom for everyone comes with price. instead of removing it, its better to increase awareness. or introduce a safe new tag which people can use for safe conversations.
i met someone on there who i thought was a nice person, only to have them be really obsessive and expected me to talk to them all the time, & kept talking abt "meeting up" blocked them, but still gross.
@@anirudhsingh2228 uh... maybe, but, like, we live in society, so you WILL meet bad persons anyway. So it would be cool if we had place on the Internet where you'd not be possible to bump into bad stuff.
Me and my friends went on Omegle in like 8th grade and saw a man doing disgusting thing to his 2 year old kid. My friends recorded it out of shock and the police got involved they eventually found the man thankfully
Holy fucking shit. I feel so bad for that child. I can’t imagine having to live with that trauma for the rest of their life, especially when that happened to them at a very young age.
Omg yall okay tho, I would have gotten a trauma budt good you said this bc I was planning to go on omegle whit my friends budt didn't know it was that scary1💀😨
You really saved that poor kid. People like you guys who DO something are who we need in the world. I'm sorry you saw that and I thank you for getting involved.
Yeah when I was 12 my friends and I went on Omegle and saw a younger girl playing with her self and some creepy guy was texting in the chat it was literally horrifying
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
Omegle always felt incredibly sketchy as someone who used to hear or see shit from an outside perspective. RUclips videos have never given it a good reputation lmao
@@skeleton_appreciator what are you talking about? RUclipsrs like Markiplier and jacksepticeye portray it as a place where everything is fine. The videos are completely misleading as to the true nature of the platform
Omegle lets you connect or even bond with random people online, however this can come with its own forms of consequences. People don't always have the purest intentions.
My main memory of omegle was when I was 14 and recently dyed my hair a bright red. Some dude was complimenting it and then asked me if the curtains match the drapes. I hadn't heard that phrase before and thought he was actually asking about my carpet lmao. He had the nerve to look at my baby face and explain he was asking about my pubic hair. No shame
@@retrac3147 somehow it was worse than just seeing a dick. I could handle seeing some rando choking the chicken. But its different when you were actually having an engaging conversation with a normal guy. Thats how the groomers get you, im glad I was smart enough to high tail it
A friend had a very similar sickening experience like that one. That is very very disgusting 🤮 youre not alone 😥✊ all my support goes to you and all victims of these sickening acts like this one✊✊
I actually messed with Omegle a few years ago. I was curious to see how bad it really was. I didn't show my face or talk, because why would I do that to strangers. I saw so much inappropriate things. It's really not save for kids, theres so many gross people on Omegle

honestly, omegle was never a good place to find friends in my opinion i've only found 2 people that were actually nice to talk to on omegle, and even then it never went further than that because back then i was still aware of its dangers
I’m totally in the minority here, but I know someone who met their long-term partner on Omegle like 7 years ago. They’ve just relocated to move in together since they lived in totally different states. I feel like that’s the single good thing that ever happened on the site lmao
@@Taich0u Thats minority for sure, they only show the good endings while hiding all the nasty experiences. Online is a worse place to find friends, especially foreigner friends IMO
I honestly never started going on omegle until now at the age of 19. There are plenty of awesome people you can meet on there but of course there so many weird dudes on there showing their shit off. I think no kids should be allowed on that site at all. There are still so many kids on there and seeing the amount of weirdos scares me honestly.

Easy, don't give them Access to it,it's not rocket science, back when I was in highschool, we could only use the Internet for school work in the school library
Loading up Omegle as a kid was the worst mistake of my life, the site needs to be shut down. You didn't talk about the active ring of pedophiles that exchange files with eachother through the site, I found out the traumatic way.
@@grimch7325 holy fuck dude you brought back a memory ☠️ I was pretty fuckin young but I was on omegle trolling and I came across actual cheese pizza. Never been so fuckin upset in my life.
i can't believe i used Omegle a few times in 2008 when i was 13. I was neglected and lonely and I'm grateful nothing bad happened to me back then and that it is gone now.
I was about to sign up until I saw this video. The fact that Omegle steals your ip is crazy. Sharing your ip with people you don’t even know. You saved my life.
Omegle was the beginning of my mental downfall, at the age of 13 I was groomed by a 40 or something ish man on Omegle. He had me recorded, knew my name, my parents, my location. He had me added on Facebook for 2 years. Made to send him explicit pictures of myself until I had enough and just blocked him. To this day I’m scared of seeing him again, even hearing his name sends me into a spiral . Please keep an eye out on your children, don’t give them unlimited or unrestricted access to anything online. You don’t want to end up like me
That happened to me with Facebook! I was also 12-13!!! He recorded me being naked, he coerced me to be naked in front of the camera. I didn't know it was recorded until he told me ...
I remember when I went on Omegle when I was around 14 and this grown man I was talking to went full on "You're very mature for your age" and asked me to flash. Thankfully I didn't do that. There were several other creeps who I came across but that was just the one I have the clearest memory of. There was also a bunch of people who called me ugly and I think that really impacted my self esteem. Two guys made me cry and I never went on Omegle again.
When i was that age i was just built diffeerent you could say... After i got groomed at first and the creepp stopped i wanted more so i started just continously searching up more creeps and have them order me around. Im lucky none of them got the chance to blackmail me sinc ei had started togo trough them like pokemon cards. I used sites like gay chat avenue(Pedo filled shihole) And omegle. And this continued until i got caught by my parents.
Man, alone the first part with ip and chat leaks is really frightening. It is so important that videos like this get more attention. Thanks Visual Venture.
did an experiment: now that omegle is retired from the internet, me and another friend went on a similar website called Emerald (I think). We spent 2 evenings on there, hanging around and documenting how many NSFW things we saw. 128 males 2 females 1 dog We spent at most 3.5 hours combined on there and saw that. What the hell is going on anymore
as someone who went into omegle just to get attention from people and got groomed into thinking that showing your body to random strangers was okay- yes, omegle is horrible and i hate that i was exposed to it while being a minor. i wish parents could restrict children's internet usage more
when I was 10 I matched with a 9 year old girl, we talked abt fnaf and she said "I'll show you mine if you show me yours," I figured she was talking about fnaf fanart, so I agreed, but she got undressed.. I felt so bad. she was probably being gr00med or it was prerecorded footage... hope she is om
@@icy_xd When I was chatting with another German, I tried to be as girly as I could and told him that my name was Lara until the dude decided to ask pervy questions. And after he said that he came, I corrected what I said about my name and said that my name is not "Lara" but "Lars" and that I'm in fact 18, not 15. He said in caps, that I have no life and disconnected afterwards
11:13 this cannot be anymore true. About two years ago, my dad found a card shop in our area (our family being more gamers, at least in my household) and we met this amazing guy I’ll call Derek, he is 39. I played Pokémon with him a lot until I started to find him kinda weird and annoying. My little sister (this is important) played every game with him. DND, Pokémon, he even taught her Magic! They were best friends 39 and 11. (These ages are now, back then it was 37 and 9) He became a very fond family friends, and we trusted him (except for me. I didn’t like him, I didn’t know why but I just didn’t like him. I mean I found him annoying but looking back, the vibes he gave were more than “annoying”) My dad and him were BEST. FRIENDS. Which makes sense, since they were close in age. They both were fond of Naruto which led to an impromptu ramen night. We also played board games with him. A lot. We played so much that him, my sister, and my mom were going to play with him on February 5th of this year (2023) marked in my calendar. My dad was at work. Well, unfortunately he never showed…or…fortunately. In an attempt to figure this out, my sister made a comment. “I’ll ask him on discord when he will get here.” With a dad who works at a prison and a mom who lost her best friend in highschool due to a kidnapping, this raised some LARGE flags. Well my dad and sister went to the card shop one day and I was on me and my sisters shared computer. Well my mom calls me and asks me to bring the computer and I do, having no real reason not to as I had nothing to hide. The thing that she said after she opened and looked at the apps “You don’t have discord on here?” I said no as I didn’t ever want to use it and my sister had it on her phone rather that computer. She gave it back but this struck me weird. Once they got home, my mom took my sisters phone and looked through her and Derek’s messages. He had been messaging her since December. At the beginning, it was just Pokémon and things like that. But he started asking for things. It started off with just asking for pictures of her (face) and when she didn’t and stood her ground he would send her pictures of his face so it would encourage her to. Her being hot-headed and and as bendable as a rock, she didn’t. He also told her how much he loved to hug her and wished he could cuddle her. As time went on and my sister not wanting to do anything with him, he got more aggressive. Luckily, this is when we found out. His threats were starting to get worse and probably would’ve led to him DOING these things to her. The police was notified through a friend of my dads (who was higher than him and could do something about it, prison workers) They went to his house, searched his things and made sure he hadn’t TOUCHED any children, which is still being determined, and he has since been banned (my dad is good friends with the owner, it’s a small town card shop.) and was LAUGHED at when he went to the card shops discord server to go cry about it (EVERYONE it the card shop had been warned, because children were prominent) Be safe online kids.
Paragraphs are your friend! Nobody wants to read a wall of text. If you want your comment to be fully read, then please edit it and add some paragraphs or other formatting in.
read the whole thing took like 2 minutes lol at the replies anyways that's a wild story. Glad nothing physical happened and he got laughed at when he complained.
There is no report button on Omegle. There should be. You should also be forced to register an account to use it. A lot of things could be done to make it safer. Of course, the internet itself has some risk either way. But services sometimes neglect to make it more difficult for predators, thus making it so much easier for them to do what they do., Edit: And it looks like Omegle is gone. OmeTV and app which does basically the same thing, required you to link it with your social media. Close enough.
I was reported on Omegle for wearing a light up mask in the dark and scaring people it screenshots the moment of reporting but this was years ago so I dunno
That's the problem with Omegle, they don't take responsibilty. They made a site and said "Yo, you can use this site whenever you want, but remember... if creepy/weird or whatever happens, we didn't do it and it was your choice to go on Omegle" something like that.

Back when I was much younger, one of the biggest things you heard from everyone was how online chatrooms are dangerous, especially for kids (we're taking like 7-12 specifically) & to avoid them. I miss those days. The wild west days of the internet were truly something amazing.
i stopped using omegle a long time ago but something that always made me feel weird was how people would find you weird if you didn’t tell them your name and other kinds of info. like, I’M the weird one for not giving you my personal social media???
If they asked me a name off the rip, I'd always just make one up. Granted the only people I would stop and give the time of day to were people who didn't immediately ask ASL/name off the rip. That only has two outcomes: an extremely boring conversation or they're trying to scam you.
While omegle's purpose allows you to connect and meet people worldwide, using it nowadays is risky in my opinion. Even in the early 2000s to 2010s, online chatrooms are used as easy platforms for bullying, harassment, and worst, predators.
As someone who's been addicted to the internet since 2003, I guarantee you the internet hasn't become more risky, internet users have simply become less ignorant. The internet used to be the Wild Wild West.
I'm watching this after Omegle being shut down . In fairness back in the day stuff like this was rare(at least in my experience) but has grown more and more out of control. I'm happy the owner finally made the right decision to end it. Even if it did have to be through the courts. Unfortunately if I know the internet, I know there's already a new site out there, and will probably take over what was left of Omegle, and perpetuate these issues, or worsen them.
Parents shouldn't stop supervising their children and monitoring till at least 13 or 14. As long as they raise them right and monitor chats up till that age they should be fine on there unless they have bad mental health.
@@lorishu48103Then they should pay a babysitter or let THEIR parents do the job. Otherwise they should better not fuck and get kids. Nobody said having kids and showing responsibility would be easy.
I met my ex best friend on omegle. We ended up best friends for about 6 years, but the friendship ended due to typical lady drama. She was so cool. I’m glad I met her, but I’d never go back on omegle because of how scary it is. Too many pervs/predators
Typical lady drama? Let me guess, someone did/said a very minor thing wrong and Person B just cut the contact out of the blue. Thats the ladies way most of the time.
Glad the "Crazy cat lady" was found and that reddit and discord did what they do best for good finally but only 30 months for all the things she did? Come on.
I remember a sleepover I went to (a few weeks ago) 2 girls there hid in the bathroom and went on Omegle. Parents figured and they got in trouble. Good thing too, they were on Omegle and kept seeing old men
These sites (including discord) can ruin your life. You say or do something that can be used against you, and when found out about, you go straight to jail. It really is scary because you can be pressured to do something then do it, then the people that pressured you have evidence to send you to prison. I actually remember snitching on my sister when I found out she was on there.
Thank you for snitching on ur sister. Right now im 16 and past what I call the “bad days” (when i was like, 13) and my older sister was the one who got me out of it.
And yet, is it really the site that ruins your life? Perhaps you are weak willed for doing such a thing. I'm gonna be honest, if you're getting pressured into doing shit that's actually illegal? Yeah that's on you for being dumb enough to do it.
I have my own story about omegle, and i was still a kid when i got traumatized. I might have PTSD due to the thing that happened to me, and i am so glad this info is being spread. I was only one of the victims of - not finding my home, but something much worse - from omegle. thank you, venture. edit: I don't like talking about it, but I was groomed on Omegle. I'm taking medications for PTSD and my friends and partners are helping me recover from this. thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it.
Omegle should be a much bigger subject on parents minds. I know tons of people who were groomed through this website as children, including myself. I have some Horrible memories including an older teenager blackmailing me for sexual acts when I was around 12. It was traumatic, and it’s sad to know I could’ve avoided that if my parents had payed attention.
really glad i waited until i was an adult to try omegle. it's kind of scary how many people I've met on there who said they'd gone on as a child and been traumatized or abused
Except GTAO isn’t something you can just play on a website, it’s run by a whole company (especially the most notorious billion dollar company that was ever created,) meaning that no lifes on GTAO will go to the extent of illegally exfiltrating personal files.. like wtf…
@@fyeul kinda but GTAO's security is just trash, before the modders took over and basically kept everyone from playing the game by threatening to infect pc players with malware, GTAO used to use a pier to pier system instead of servers (the servers they use now are still kinda bad but a small effort in security nonetheless) which would just reveal your IP and location sometimes even as deep as your postal code to anyone using a mod menu or something as simple as wire shark

i got banned on omegle once for eating yogurt... yep. not sure why, but when i sent an request asking why, it stated "sexual content through the usuage of foods and substances" we love omegle
Thank you for making this video. When I was 9-12 years old I went on there to talk with people. I saw racists, homophobes, p3dos and creepy grown men on there grooming me. One recorded me and threatened to post me on every xxx site if I didn't let my little brother who was about 10 at the time in the act. I completely realized the reality of things after that. I don't know if he just has that cp video and shared it with other p3dos, or if he posted online for it to be dug up later. I'm just glad my brother is safe. Omegle is a wild place and that can have astronomical consequences. NEVER let your children especially young children on the internet unsupervised until AT LEAST 13 years old. If I had gotten that same expectation, I wouldn't have to be anxious almost everyday knowing that that video could be on anyone's device.
I refuse to go on that website because of that. My brother went on it, and once my mom found out he got his computer taken away for a bit as he should. That website is dangerous. There are safer ways to talk to people of the internet.
When I was in high school, my friends and I used to have sleepovers, during which we would stay up late into the night, video-chatting with random people on Omegle. I never really got the gist of the site. I didn't get why people thought it was so fun. Why would you want to do what is basically video-chat roulette? I'd rather not see random fat guys yanking one out or get connected with script kiddies who try to scare me by revealing my IP address.
Who knew having an easy, unregulated way to talk and stream your webcam to strangers would have consequences. I'm totally in shock rn, like actually dying.
true but let's not forget most of us were silly teens. I ventured into omegle with the webcam off but then I felt encouraged to turn it on, and I actually didn't face any issues. Had a chat with one or two nice people, saw some creepy guys and "the elephant underwear", but nothing actually happened to me. that was years ago (9, 10 years ago) still, I could've been in real danger but I would risk it as a teen. nowadays, I'm just glad nothing happened to me back then. It was only for one day I went into that website, then never went back.
I started going on omegle at 11 because it was trending at the time and proceed to be groomed and exploited sexual hundreds of guys over about 4 year's and I find myself today still struggling because of the trauma I experienced and I mostly only did it because I was lonely and had nobody to talk to. I was the perfect victim for boys and grown men of all ages and I didn't see much wrong with it because I was getting compliments for my very developed body that I'd been bullied for all my life
i met a lady off there who was 20. i was 15, she kidnapped me, took me to a hotel and forced me to do... lets say.... weird things.... never use the website and thank god it shut down
9:40 Over time, as a young girl using omegle, I learned that the tag “ROBLOX” for video chat is just a big ped0-group looking for kids. Every time I would go on that tag, it’d be those point games, a man turning his phone down from the ceiling to his parts when he saw me, black screens asking for me to do bad things, etc. I rarely ever saw other kids there that liked ROBLOX, except for the few that have no idea or sometimes girls who just wanted that attention and praise. Trying to spread this so people become wary and report it.
this is disgusting. before this i was thinking about downloading omegle. I am a minor. Now that i saw all the risks, i'd rather talk to people in person Edit: THEIR TRYING TO GET YOY!! HELP ME edit 3: GUYS WE HAVE A GRAMMERLY ON THE LOOSE CALL THE POLICE HELPPPPP-
Man I got absolutely Traumatized on Omegle, I was just chatting with some people for a couple hours and then BOOM, came up to a dude who was having s*x with a god damn Dog, man, Im scarred for life from that sight, I just hope no child saw that shit
I‘m not straying around in the internet, therefore i know very little about social media. I learn a lot here through this channel. Thanks for the good work!
Something that's banned in my family's home is Omegle. My sister was at a friend's house once and some creepy dude called her hot, they were like 11 or 10 and this dude was 30.
My friend saw a manslaughter on an omegle call. He thought this was fake and tomorrow he found out that it wasnt. He looked at the news and saw the exact same scene, but blurred and censored
ill never forget me and my childhood friend as young girls trolling ppl on omegle by saying wanna 'see my kitty' and then show her cat because we knew everyone would fall for it and they would LMAO
Back when I was like 14 and a h*rny teen, I went on there and did questionable stuff… I hate myself doing that and exposing myself at such a young age… I’m glad I realized after 2-3 times that it was very unsafe and I had to stop… but going on casually a few times I’ve seen many other young looking people doing questionable things
A girl was like 10 y/o and was asking me if I wanted to see her tatas.... I told her that what shew doing is horrible. She wasn't listening to me. I skipped before she revealed something. I cried after that experience. I know there are weird creeps who probably would stay and watch her do those terrible things 😢 as a girl, I was angry especially as I saw her older sister in the background just laughing
@@loveyalotz a few years back me and a friend went on Omegle and there were people asking us to “do stuff” it was disgusting. Also that day we got a groups of 3 people… they were definitely under the age of 11, butt naked… instantly skipped and we both screamed and laugh and how insane it was
@@loveyalotzyou could have recorded and send it to the police her sister and especially parents deserved to get arrested that's grooming of childern anyway I hope she is doing fine now all I can do is to pray for her poor child 😔
i’ve personally never experienced anything terrible on omegle, but ofc the creepy dudes. especially the ones who said they didn’t care when i told them i was a minor at the time. glad i stopped using it though cuz its really not fun at all
I appreciate you doing these videos, hopefully they reach the people that really need to see them! I haven’t been on Omegle for many many years, probably since it first got popular… there was no interests to type in, just the yes and no and even back then in its early days there were a lot of inappropriate people on it, mostly men, showing their private, first thing you saw right in your face. It was enough to keep me from going back to it.
The saddest part is, we could easily avoid being too reliant on internet. Having a hobby, socialise, productive working or even going outside is good enough. We shouldn't have internet as our main source of happiness and entertainment, or else we could become one of the victim of internet exploitation

I literally got my ip pulled and panicked that's when i realised ip doesn't show my accurate address + those 2 guys looked like teens so no way they are coming for me or are they? 💀
They only got your Public IP address so they can't even track you. If you live in a densely populated area then they can't track u at all. Also, they can't really do anything with your public IP address unless they are actually connected to your network. So chill out, it's no biggie. Channels like these make it look like a huge deal.
One time someone asked me do you get your haircut in ---😏 I was like uhhh no? Lol 💀 for some reason mine come up in a whole other state for some reason 😂 but the haircut thing for me how fkn lame

My nephew originally wanted to use my PC to do funny pranks on OMEGLE (We were and still are underage) I told him no because of this. Seeing this video makes me even more relieved, god knows what could've happened to us.
I will never forget being a kid and running into someone that was streaming the most horrific footage you could imagine, I can't even say what. Definitely scarred me for life and I was only 12-13
i remember last year i went on omegle with my friend to troll some people, and we came across some random person asking me to move my head around in all directions - luckily my friend quickly told me to stop because i had almost gotten my entire face stolen
when i was 14 i remember that i was going on omegle (im 22 now) a lot of people of my country at my age used to go on omegle to meet people and just to hangout. i was on omegle for about a few minutes and the next match i found, was a recording of me in the place of the videochatting where the person should be. i was shocked bc they recorded (o wasnt doing anything innapropriate it just showed my face) it was a "normal" video but it showed. i was so shocked and terrief, ive never entered the website again. just knowing that the person behind this recorded me and it wasnt even nothing innaproaite, only my face terrified me. im glad ive never sent nudes or innapropriate stuff to anyone online. i remember my parents didnt monitore me when i was a child but somehow, ive always had that sense gut that told me that i shouldnt trust people online, im glad i always followed my guts. thanks for the video and for info, you won a new sub! ❤
I have been on Omegle before and I never saw a checkbox that said the website was for 18+ users... I remember trying it for the first time right around the time it was gaining popularity on RUclips... the fact that this site didn't start informing users until now is a little bit sad
During lockdown my friend at the time and I used to go on Omegle and Parlor a lot. Did a lot of fun things, like debate politics, sing, flirt, get in roast battles, hell sometimes we’d even find our own classmates by sheer chance. But for every good interaction there were 2 more of us just getting doxxed 😂
as a young teen i used to go on here often. ill never forget the disgusting cp that someone showed... without me even knowing what was going on, i felt so disgusted and i felt like i was in danger... was so disturbing to see :'(
Dang, the more horror stories I hear about kids who got groomed(or worse 😰) by creeps on the internet, the more I realize how lucky I was that nothing like that ever happened to me. I was on sites no kid should ever be, such as Omegle and Kik and came out unharmed. I got super lucky and I feel so bad for the ones that weren't. And I'm not gonna fault my parents for not keeping me off those sites. Believe me, they tried. My mom tried so hard to drill into my head that these sites are super dangerous especially for kids, yet my dumbass wouldn't listen. If you tell an adolescent to stay off whatever app or website, that only makes them want to use it more, and they'll wait until you're not looking to secretly use it. If I could talk to my younger self, I'd show them these videos and maybe help them realize through real stories that happened that the internet can be a very unsafe place for kids. I hope videos like this will help people realize that this stuff is no joke. That's part of the reason I'm never having kids, because the world just keeps getting more dangerous and it's damn near impossible to get them to take internet safety seriously.
Same with me. I think the fact that your mom warned you might've helped you stay away from ppl like this. I went on these platforms but knew not to trust random strangers, knew it was disgusting for adults to wanna interact with kids, and also knew the internet was dangerous. Any time I went on Omegle I'd cover my camera until the other person appeared, so if it was a creepy old man or someone being inappropriate I'd skip them before they saw me. Glad we made it out safe and sad so many ppl didn't
Also luckily I have never witnessed anything horrific being shared on screen. I think maybe the fact that I was scared, shy and had been taught about the dangers of the internet generally meant that the few times I was on Omegle I didn't stay for long. But I was present in other websites and made friendships with adults as a teen, but told my mom everything. I even started to get from this one man like 20 years older than me, and my mom knew about everything, so if anything weird started happening she'd pick up on it before myself. Luckily he never even came close to trying anything, at most he'd vent about random personal stuff to me and while it was annoying he never pressured me into doing anything or into staying in a friendship. Genuinely think he was just a bit of a loner. But I'm aware nowadays that my case is an exception!
I used those sites as well as a kid. I never got the talk about it being dangerous. I figured that out on my own. I developed my own thinking which in my case is good.
you can only get so much information from an IP address, unless you're working with law enforcement and have a warrant to go talk to the ISP about tracking the IP belonging to them. All you can get is country, region, maybe zip code. That's it
A year or so ago I had my best friend over like we did every night. We would go on omegle most nights just for the fun of it. One of the last times we were on we were talking to a guy who was heavily depressed due to his sickness. We were trying to make sure he was okay and that he didn’t do anything. He told us that he was thirsty so he went over right beside his bed and we thought he was just gonna get a water bottle. He ended up getting a knife and starting using it on himself in the stomach. We heard him cry out for help before we closed the website for the night and cried. Glad it got shut down.
Hey man I just subscribed, my parents have been trying to find a documentary topic that interests me but they couldn’t find anything. Then I found your channel and I was amazed. So for homeschool I get to watch your videos and it’s fun! So thanks for that
Omegle banned me because of trolling while they don't ban people who promote s3x, this shows how omegle is so unsecure and unfair when it comes with moderation.
Lol you weren't banned for trolling infact you can't even get banned on Omegle. It's a script that blocks users with VPNs. Since Omegle doesn't have user authentication, it can't ban users
@@nocturnaldev8607 that’s now, but before they allowed people who were 13+ as long as they had supervision while using it (which they obviously didn’t). and omegle even has a separate 18+ website that they literally advertise on their main page
Venture, you should do a video on the youtube comments section. It would be free content, since everyone here seems to find changing someone's opinion to be the most important thing in the world. For example: There is a comment thread with more than 100 comments of people trying to convince me that SuperMarioLogan did "nothing wrong", and trying to get me to get back into the conversation when I already said I was leaving it. People here just REFUSE to accept that someone could POSSIBLY have a different opinion to their own. You HAVE to make a video on this, man.
i mean that is the internet in general. reddit and twitter also have big fights like that but a little worse since they are able to see your reddit post/comment history or your tweets/likes.
@@Norimatics i was in an argument with some RUclips guy, and when he ran out of arguments he went into my RUclips channel and made fun of me for some video i made like 4 years ago, imagine how sad that guy must be

Hello, Venture. This is a good video, please make your content more often.
To be fair, "Chatting with strangers" sounds like a disaster by itself but that's literally the internet.
@DireGoth03 stranger: “a person with whom one has had no personal acquaintance” - blood relatives literally mean the exact opposite of this definition. I get what you meant tho
if you think about it, we are brought up by our parents or guardians to not talk to strangers, and omegle is literally the opposite of it

@DireGoth03 Glad at least Omegle is banned here BTW, now new focus is on one local website I wont mention but everyone here knowing about :)
Omegle is an interesting place, to say the least. You can meet a really nice person and have a nice chat or you can meet a creep that wants to do unspeakable things to you. I just hope these issues get resolved and we can stay on the bright side
Most ppl there are old men trying to nut
Yes
no actually, just because it is removed from front of your eyes dosnt mean its not there. If anything its ignorant. and i feel like its better to meet creeps not with a bad motive but it makes you realiz some people you meet might just be bad. Its freedom. But yes freedom for everyone comes with price. instead of removing it, its better to increase awareness. or introduce a safe new tag which people can use for safe conversations.
i met someone on there who i thought was a nice person, only to have them be really obsessive and expected me to talk to them all the time, & kept talking abt "meeting up"
blocked them, but still gross.
@@anirudhsingh2228 uh... maybe, but, like, we live in society, so you WILL meet bad persons anyway. So it would be cool if we had place on the Internet where you'd not be possible to bump into bad stuff.
Me and my friends went on Omegle in like 8th grade and saw a man doing disgusting thing to his 2 year old kid. My friends recorded it out of shock and the police got involved they eventually found the man thankfully
Holy fucking shit. I feel so bad for that child. I can’t imagine having to live with that trauma for the rest of their life, especially when that happened to them at a very young age.
Omg yall okay tho, I would have gotten a trauma budt good you said this bc I was planning to go on omegle whit my friends budt didn't know it was that scary1💀😨

You really saved that poor kid. People like you guys who DO something are who we need in the world. I'm sorry you saw that and I thank you for getting involved.

I was about to sign up until I saw this video. The fact that Omegle steals your ip is crazy. Sharing your ip with people you don’t even know. You saved my life.
Omegle was the beginning of my mental downfall, at the age of 13 I was groomed by a 40 or something ish man on Omegle.
He had me recorded, knew my name, my parents, my location. He had me added on Facebook for 2 years. Made to send him explicit pictures of myself until I had enough and just blocked him.
To this day I’m scared of seeing him again, even hearing his name sends me into a spiral . Please keep an eye out on your children, don’t give them unlimited or unrestricted access to anything online. You don’t want to end up like me
I'm sorry that happened to you no one should have to face that I hope your doing okay and well.
That happened to me with Facebook! I was also 12-13!!! He recorded me being naked, he coerced me to be naked in front of the camera. I didn't know it was recorded until he told me ...

There were several other creeps who I came across but that was just the one I have the clearest memory of. There was also a bunch of people who called me ugly and I think that really impacted my self esteem. Two guys made me cry and I never went on Omegle again.

Nice talk have a nice day
11:13 this cannot be anymore true. About two years ago, my dad found a card shop in our area (our family being more gamers, at least in my household) and we met this amazing guy I’ll call Derek, he is 39.
I played Pokémon with him a lot until I started to find him kinda weird and annoying. My little sister (this is important) played every game with him. DND, Pokémon, he even taught her Magic! They were best friends 39 and 11. (These ages are now, back then it was 37 and 9) He became a very fond family friends, and we trusted him (except for me. I didn’t like him, I didn’t know why but I just didn’t like him. I mean I found him annoying but looking back, the vibes he gave were more than “annoying”) My dad and him were BEST. FRIENDS. Which makes sense, since they were close in age. They both were fond of Naruto which led to an impromptu ramen night. We also played board games with him. A lot. We played so much that him, my sister, and my mom were going to play with him on February 5th of this year (2023) marked in my calendar.
My dad was at work. Well, unfortunately he never showed…or…fortunately. In an attempt to figure this out, my sister made a comment. “I’ll ask him on discord when he will get here.” With a dad who works at a prison and a mom who lost her best friend in highschool due to a kidnapping, this raised some LARGE flags. Well my dad and sister went to the card shop one day and I was on me and my sisters shared computer. Well my mom calls me and asks me to bring the computer and I do, having no real reason not to as I had nothing to hide. The thing that she said after she opened and looked at the apps “You don’t have discord on here?” I said no as I didn’t ever want to use it and my sister had it on her phone rather that computer. She gave it back but this struck me weird.
Once they got home, my mom took my sisters phone and looked through her and Derek’s messages. He had been messaging her since December. At the beginning, it was just Pokémon and things like that. But he started asking for things. It started off with just asking for pictures of her (face) and when she didn’t and stood her ground he would send her pictures of his face so it would encourage her to. Her being hot-headed and and as bendable as a rock, she didn’t. He also told her how much he loved to hug her and wished he could cuddle her. As time went on and my sister not wanting to do anything with him, he got more aggressive. Luckily, this is when we found out.
His threats were starting to get worse and probably would’ve led to him DOING these things to her. The police was notified through a friend of my dads (who was higher than him and could do something about it, prison workers) They went to his house, searched his things and made sure he hadn’t TOUCHED any children, which is still being determined, and he has since been banned (my dad is good friends with the owner, it’s a small town card shop.) and was LAUGHED at when he went to the card shops discord server to go cry about it (EVERYONE it the card shop had been warned, because children were prominent)

There is no report button on Omegle. There should be. You should also be forced to register an account to use it. A lot of things could be done to make it safer.
Of course, the internet itself has some risk either way. But services sometimes neglect to make it more difficult for predators, thus making it so much easier for them to do what they do.,
Edit: And it looks like Omegle is gone. OmeTV and app which does basically the same thing, required you to link it with your social media. Close enough.
I was reported on Omegle for wearing a light up mask in the dark and scaring people it screenshots the moment of reporting but this was years ago so I dunno
That's the problem with Omegle, they don't take responsibilty. They made a site and said "Yo, you can use this site whenever you want, but remember... if creepy/weird or whatever happens, we didn't do it and it was your choice to go on Omegle" something like that.

Back when I was much younger, one of the biggest things you heard from everyone was how online chatrooms are dangerous, especially for kids (we're taking like 7-12 specifically) & to avoid them.
I miss those days. The wild west days of the internet were truly something amazing.
i stopped using omegle a long time ago but something that always made me feel weird was how people would find you weird if you didn’t tell them your name and other kinds of info. like, I’M the weird one for not giving you my personal social media???
If they asked me a name off the rip, I'd always just make one up. Granted the only people I would stop and give the time of day to were people who didn't immediately ask ASL/name off the rip. That only has two outcomes: an extremely boring conversation or they're trying to scam you.
While omegle's purpose allows you to connect and meet people worldwide, using it nowadays is risky in my opinion. Even in the early 2000s to 2010s, online chatrooms are used as easy platforms for bullying, harassment, and worst, predators.
As someone who's been addicted to the internet since 2003, I guarantee you the internet hasn't become more risky, internet users have simply become less ignorant. The internet used to be the Wild Wild West.

I'm watching this after Omegle being shut down . In fairness back in the day stuff like this was rare(at least in my experience) but has grown more and more out of control. I'm happy the owner finally made the right decision to end it. Even if it did have to be through the courts.
Unfortunately if I know the internet, I know there's already a new site out there, and will probably take over what was left of Omegle, and perpetuate these issues, or worsen them.
Parents do not watch their kids at all, that is the real problem.
They blame the website but they don’t give to shits about supervising them
tbh the son isn't free from the blame
Parents shouldn't stop supervising their children and monitoring till at least 13 or 14. As long as they raise them right and monitor chats up till that age they should be fine on there unless they have bad mental health.

11 years?! That's not even close to enough for a child predator.
And that abomination that murdered animals should be locked up for life. FREAK.

I remember a sleepover I went to (a few weeks ago) 2 girls there hid in the bathroom and went on Omegle. Parents figured and they got in trouble. Good thing too, they were on Omegle and kept seeing old men
Ik this is off topic but why would someone go to a sleepover if they have things they wanna do themselves
@@fyeul Maybe so they could do stuff like this without getting in trouble?
These sites (including discord) can ruin your life. You say or do something that can be used against you, and when found out about, you go straight to jail. It really is scary because you can be pressured to do something then do it, then the people that pressured you have evidence to send you to prison. I actually remember snitching on my sister when I found out she was on there.
Thank you for snitching on ur sister. Right now im 16 and past what I call the “bad days” (when i was like, 13) and my older sister was the one who got me out of it.
@@lachlainegordon806 Yeah, I already new it could be a scary place, which is why I only watch youtubers go on it. Your sister did you a favor.
And yet, is it really the site that ruins your life? Perhaps you are weak willed for doing such a thing. I'm gonna be honest, if you're getting pressured into doing shit that's actually illegal? Yeah that's on you for being dumb enough to do it.
I have my own story about omegle, and i was still a kid when i got traumatized. I might have PTSD due to the thing that happened to me, and i am so glad this info is being spread. I was only one of the victims of - not finding my home, but something much worse - from omegle. thank you, venture.
edit: I don't like talking about it, but I was groomed on Omegle. I'm taking medications for PTSD and my friends and partners are helping me recover from this. thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it.
🤝
What happened?
@@fyeul I really don't wanna talk about it, but the site is imfamous for it.
@@crispychipzzz_official it seems you might have had the same experience as me. Wish you the best of luck
@@Chompulous i'm doing okay, i'm currently dealing with ptsd from this but my friends are helping me recover.
Omegle should be a much bigger subject on parents minds. I know tons of people who were groomed through this website as children, including myself. I have some
Horrible memories including an older teenager blackmailing me for sexual acts when I was around 12. It was traumatic, and it’s sad to know I could’ve avoided that if my parents had payed attention.
really glad i waited until i was an adult to try omegle. it's kind of scary how many people I've met on there who said they'd gone on as a child and been traumatized or abused
"Most websites don't publicly expose their user's IPS"
As a GTA online player that hits hard
Except GTAO isn’t something you can just play on a website, it’s run by a whole company (especially the most notorious billion dollar company that was ever created,) meaning that no lifes on GTAO will go to the extent of illegally exfiltrating personal files.. like wtf…
@@fyeul kinda but GTAO's security is just trash, before the modders took over and basically kept everyone from playing the game by threatening to infect pc players with malware, GTAO used to use a pier to pier system instead of servers (the servers they use now are still kinda bad but a small effort in security nonetheless) which would just reveal your IP and location sometimes even as deep as your postal code to anyone using a mod menu or something as simple as wire shark
@@shey_clone Oh, never knew this. Thank you for correcting me!
@@shey_clone these „hackers“ usually are just trying to DoS-attack you (not even DDoS you). They often won‘t even succeed if you have fiber/5G because their upload is too crappy.
Still, no legitimate service leaks IPs out to their users.
i got banned on omegle once for eating yogurt... yep. not sure why, but when i sent an request asking why, it stated "sexual content through the usuage of foods and substances"
we love omegle
Thank you for making this video. When I was 9-12 years old I went on there to talk with people. I saw racists, homophobes, p3dos and creepy grown men on there grooming me. One recorded me and threatened to post me on every xxx site if I didn't let my little brother who was about 10 at the time in the act. I completely realized the reality of things after that. I don't know if he just has that cp video and shared it with other p3dos, or if he posted online for it to be dug up later. I'm just glad my brother is safe. Omegle is a wild place and that can have astronomical consequences. NEVER let your children especially young children on the internet unsupervised until AT LEAST 13 years old. If I had gotten that same expectation, I wouldn't have to be anxious almost everyday knowing that that video could be on anyone's device.
I just doxxed you af
Omg I’m so sorry I hope you and ur brother are ok
Your love for your brother got you out of this and protected you from further harm.
Its hard to believe how little time in prison people can get for such horrendous acts
Omegle is a cool website to meet random people until you realise the amount of dangerous people there are on there
bro what is up w these npc short response comments summarizing what the video already said
@@yuri-tq4ed what's up with the long npc response complaining about other people's comments
@@yuri-tq4ed then just scroll dawg it ain’t that srs
Its one of the most dangerous sites for children
It's known to be a pedo website.
Learning about the cyber security of Omegle was interesting though.
Just don't ever go there.
I refuse to go on that website because of that. My brother went on it, and once my mom found out he got his computer taken away for a bit as he should. That website is dangerous. There are safer ways to talk to people of the internet.
When I was in high school, my friends and I used to have sleepovers, during which we would stay up late into the night, video-chatting with random people on Omegle. I never really got the gist of the site. I didn't get why people thought it was so fun. Why would you want to do what is basically video-chat roulette? I'd rather not see random fat guys yanking one out or get connected with script kiddies who try to scare me by revealing my IP address.
when chatting with strangers who are just willing to chat with other strangers weird things are bound to happen..
Thank God After 14 Years Of Trauma It Finally Shut Down 🙏
I don't usually watch documentaries for fun, but this was extremely informative and managed to keep my attention. Keep up the great content!
Who knew having an easy, unregulated way to talk and stream your webcam to strangers would have consequences. I'm totally in shock rn, like actually dying.
true but let's not forget most of us were silly teens. I ventured into omegle with the webcam off but then I felt encouraged to turn it on, and I actually didn't face any issues. Had a chat with one or two nice people, saw some creepy guys and "the elephant underwear", but nothing actually happened to me. that was years ago (9, 10 years ago) still, I could've been in real danger but I would risk it as a teen. nowadays, I'm just glad nothing happened to me back then. It was only for one day I went into that website, then never went back.
its sad to see society grow up like this
Ikr 😞
Society always had weirdos
I started going on omegle at 11 because it was trending at the time and proceed to be groomed and exploited sexual hundreds of guys over about 4 year's and I find myself today still struggling because of the trauma I experienced and I mostly only did it because I was lonely and had nobody to talk to. I was the perfect victim for boys and grown men of all ages and I didn't see much wrong with it because I was getting compliments for my very developed body that I'd been bullied for all my life
i met a lady off there who was 20. i was 15, she kidnapped me, took me to a hotel and forced me to do... lets say.... weird things.... never use the website and thank god it shut down
9:40
Over time, as a young girl using omegle, I learned that the tag “ROBLOX” for video chat is just a big ped0-group looking for kids. Every time I would go on that tag, it’d be those point games, a man turning his phone down from the ceiling to his parts when he saw me, black screens asking for me to do bad things, etc.
I rarely ever saw other kids there that liked ROBLOX, except for the few that have no idea or sometimes girls who just wanted that attention and praise. Trying to spread this so people become wary and report it.
That is so sad
this is disgusting. before this i was thinking about downloading omegle. I am a minor. Now that i saw all the risks, i'd rather talk to people in person
Edit: THEIR TRYING TO GET YOY!! HELP ME

Man I got absolutely Traumatized on Omegle, I was just chatting with some people for a couple hours and then BOOM, came up to a dude who was having s*x with a god damn Dog, man, Im scarred for life from that sight, I just hope no child saw that shit
Shit, I don't even want adults being put up with this shit! No one should!
oh my gosh, i'm so sorry
I hope someone got his ip and reported him to his local police for animal abuse
I‘m not straying around in the internet, therefore i know very little about social media.
I learn a lot here through this channel.
Thanks for the good work!
30 months????? she should be in jail for over 15 to 20 years, imagine how much suffering those animals went through
I remember going on it faithfully even weekend during lockdown what a strange and crazy place to hang out in. Regret is every day.
Something that's banned in my family's home is Omegle. My sister was at a friend's house once and some creepy dude called her hot, they were like 11 or 10 and this dude was 30.
30s Dude will call Girls who are 14 or 16 Going Russian and Chinese in Their ways they will say they are Hot
tHAT KID WENT ON WITH HIS DAY LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED 18:00
My friend saw a manslaughter on an omegle call. He thought this was fake and tomorrow he found out that it wasnt. He looked at the news and saw the exact same scene, but blurred and censored
ill never forget me and my childhood friend as young girls trolling ppl on omegle by saying wanna 'see my kitty' and then show her cat because we knew everyone would fall for it and they would LMAO
Back when I was like 14 and a h*rny teen, I went on there and did questionable stuff… I hate myself doing that and exposing myself at such a young age… I’m glad I realized after 2-3 times that it was very unsafe and I had to stop… but going on casually a few times I’ve seen many other young looking people doing questionable things
A girl was like 10 y/o and was asking me if I wanted to see her tatas.... I told her that what shew doing is horrible. She wasn't listening to me. I skipped before she revealed something. I cried after that experience. I know there are weird creeps who probably would stay and watch her do those terrible things 😢 as a girl, I was angry especially as I saw her older sister in the background just laughing
@@loveyalotz a few years back me and a friend went on Omegle and there were people asking us to “do stuff” it was disgusting. Also that day we got a groups of 3 people… they were definitely under the age of 11, butt naked… instantly skipped and we both screamed and laugh and how insane it was
@@loveyalotzyou could have recorded and send it to the police her sister and especially parents deserved to get arrested that's grooming of childern anyway I hope she is doing fine now all I can do is to pray for her poor child 😔
@@loveyalotza 10 year old girl? Glad that Omegle is finally shut down forever
i’ve personally never experienced anything terrible on omegle, but ofc the creepy dudes. especially the ones who said they didn’t care when i told them i was a minor at the time. glad i stopped using it though cuz its really not fun at all
I appreciate you doing these videos, hopefully they reach the people that really need to see them! I haven’t been on Omegle for many many years, probably since it first got popular… there was no interests to type in, just the yes and no and even back then in its early days there were a lot of inappropriate people on it, mostly men, showing their private, first thing you saw right in your face. It was enough to keep me from going back to it.
The saddest part is, we could easily avoid being too reliant on internet. Having a hobby, socialise, productive working or even going outside is good enough. We shouldn't have internet as our main source of happiness and entertainment, or else we could become one of the victim of internet exploitation
I literally waited for a road trip to watch this video and I knew it would be good, great job and keep making these man
and yet i got banned because i wore a mask.
Yes u are

Exactly I got banned for cussing.
Good
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
I literally got my ip pulled and panicked that's when i realised ip doesn't show my accurate address + those 2 guys looked like teens so no way they are coming for me or are they? 💀
They only got your Public IP address so they can't even track you. If you live in a densely populated area then they can't track u at all.
Also, they can't really do anything with your public IP address unless they are actually connected to your network.
So chill out, it's no biggie. Channels like these make it look like a huge deal.
One time someone asked me do you get your haircut in ---😏 I was like uhhh no? Lol 💀 for some reason mine come up in a whole other state for some reason 😂 but the haircut thing for me how fkn lame
No you can easily find your exact location (adress, city, country...) with only an ip adress.
@NoCopy IP addresses inaccurately reveal your country and city, not your address.
@@mainaim81 You're wrong, the IP address is your router's identity, sorta, and it can with the use of proper tools give you the exact location where the router is. So your street and whatnot
My nephew originally wanted to use my PC to do funny pranks on OMEGLE (We were and still are underage) I told him no because of this. Seeing this video makes me even more relieved, god knows what could've happened to us.
I will never forget being a kid and running into someone that was streaming the most horrific footage you could imagine, I can't even say what. Definitely scarred me for life and I was only 12-13
omg I'm so sorry. that must have been tramatising
I knew right from the beginning that Omegle was a bad idea. I never once used it, not even to see what it was like.
i remember last year i went on omegle with my friend to troll some people, and we came across some random person asking me to move my head around in all directions - luckily my friend quickly told me to stop because i had almost gotten my entire face stolen
Wow, i would have never expected that pitfall! Learned something from you (and your friend).
They probably got enough from the commands that you did follow.
this aged well considering that omegle shut down
There's still ometv sadly
when i was 14 i remember that i was going on omegle (im 22 now) a lot of people of my country at my age used to go on omegle to meet people and just to hangout. i was on omegle for about a few minutes and the next match i found, was a recording of me in the place of the videochatting where the person should be. i was shocked bc they recorded (o wasnt doing anything innapropriate it just showed my face) it was a "normal" video but it showed. i was so shocked and terrief, ive never entered the website again. just knowing that the person behind this recorded me and it wasnt even nothing innaproaite, only my face terrified me. im glad ive never sent nudes or innapropriate stuff to anyone online. i remember my parents didnt monitore me when i was a child but somehow, ive always had that sense gut that told me that i shouldnt trust people online, im glad i always followed my guts. thanks for the video and for info, you won a new sub! ❤
I had an addiction to it and now started watching these vids and it stopped me. Thank you.
I have been on Omegle before and I never saw a checkbox that said the website was for 18+ users... I remember trying it for the first time right around the time it was gaining popularity on RUclips... the fact that this site didn't start informing users until now is a little bit sad
During lockdown my friend at the time and I used to go on Omegle and Parlor a lot. Did a lot of fun things, like debate politics, sing, flirt, get in roast battles, hell sometimes we’d even find our own classmates by sheer chance. But for every good interaction there were 2 more of us just getting doxxed 😂
18:05 they really got that man!
This aged amazingly. Rest in peace Omegle.
omegle is bad. dumb kid. people literally killed and had gex. on omegle.
ItS fun@@iexistinthisworld
as a young teen i used to go on here often. ill never forget the disgusting cp that someone showed... without me even knowing what was going on, i felt so disgusted and i felt like i was in danger... was so disturbing to see :'(
Dang, the more horror stories I hear about kids who got groomed(or worse 😰) by creeps on the internet, the more I realize how lucky I was that nothing like that ever happened to me. I was on sites no kid should ever be, such as Omegle and Kik and came out unharmed. I got super lucky and I feel so bad for the ones that weren't. And I'm not gonna fault my parents for not keeping me off those sites. Believe me, they tried. My mom tried so hard to drill into my head that these sites are super dangerous especially for kids, yet my dumbass wouldn't listen. If you tell an adolescent to stay off whatever app or website, that only makes them want to use it more, and they'll wait until you're not looking to secretly use it. If I could talk to my younger self, I'd show them these videos and maybe help them realize through real stories that happened that the internet can be a very unsafe place for kids. I hope videos like this will help people realize that this stuff is no joke. That's part of the reason I'm never having kids, because the world just keeps getting more dangerous and it's damn near impossible to get them to take internet safety seriously.
Same with me. I think the fact that your mom warned you might've helped you stay away from ppl like this. I went on these platforms but knew not to trust random strangers, knew it was disgusting for adults to wanna interact with kids, and also knew the internet was dangerous. Any time I went on Omegle I'd cover my camera until the other person appeared, so if it was a creepy old man or someone being inappropriate I'd skip them before they saw me. Glad we made it out safe and sad so many ppl didn't
Also luckily I have never witnessed anything horrific being shared on screen. I think maybe the fact that I was scared, shy and had been taught about the dangers of the internet generally meant that the few times I was on Omegle I didn't stay for long. But I was present in other websites and made friendships with adults as a teen, but told my mom everything. I even started to get from this one man like 20 years older than me, and my mom knew about everything, so if anything weird started happening she'd pick up on it before myself. Luckily he never even came close to trying anything, at most he'd vent about random personal stuff to me and while it was annoying he never pressured me into doing anything or into staying in a friendship. Genuinely think he was just a bit of a loner. But I'm aware nowadays that my case is an exception!
I used those sites as well as a kid. I never got the talk about it being dangerous. I figured that out on my own. I developed my own thinking which in my case is good.
Too expensive to have kids nowadays with inflation.
Yeah bro my mom tried to drill it into me about not watching corn and I got addicted to it for 5 years and only Jesus could help me overcome it
I mean you’re literally FaceTiming strangers on the internet. Just that gives me the creeps
It's the same as talking to some stranger in park :shrug:
you can only get so much information from an IP address, unless you're working with law enforcement and have a warrant to go talk to the ISP about tracking the IP belonging to them. All you can get is country, region, maybe zip code. That's it
A year or so ago I had my best friend over like we did every night. We would go on omegle most nights just for the fun of it. One of the last times we were on we were talking to a guy who was heavily depressed due to his sickness. We were trying to make sure he was okay and that he didn’t do anything. He told us that he was thirsty so he went over right beside his bed and we thought he was just gonna get a water bottle. He ended up getting a knife and starting using it on himself in the stomach. We heard him cry out for help before we closed the website for the night and cried. Glad it got shut down.
admittedly, i did go on omegle occasionally when i was in high school. like 15 years ago. honestly didn't think the site was still around.
Hey man I just subscribed, my parents have been trying to find a documentary topic that interests me but they couldn’t find anything. Then I found your channel and I was amazed. So for homeschool I get to watch your videos and it’s fun! So thanks for that

@DirectorDeltathanks man
Omegle banned me because of trolling while they don't ban people who promote s3x, this shows how omegle is so unsecure and unfair when it comes with moderation.
Lol you weren't banned for trolling infact you can't even get banned on Omegle.
It's a script that blocks users with VPNs.
Since Omegle doesn't have user authentication, it can't ban users
Plus, on Omegle adult content is allowed to an extent since it's a 18+ website
@@nocturnaldev8607 that’s now, but before they allowed people who were 13+ as long as they had supervision while using it (which they obviously didn’t). and omegle even has a separate 18+ website that they literally advertise on their main page

bro the part that you said "it's just a prank bro" made me cry about a person dying 😢
Venture, you should do a video on the youtube comments section. It would be free content, since everyone here seems to find changing someone's opinion to be the most important thing in the world.
For example: There is a comment thread with more than 100 comments of people trying to convince me that SuperMarioLogan did "nothing wrong", and trying to get me to get back into the conversation when I already said I was leaving it.
People here just REFUSE to accept that someone could POSSIBLY have a different opinion to their own. You HAVE to make a video on this, man.
i mean that is the internet in general. reddit and twitter also have big fights like that but a little worse since they are able to see your reddit post/comment history or your tweets/likes.
