That's a depressing viewpoint.

The text chat version of Omegle could have easily been hosted on a single server with some kind of automated spam protection. Donations could have more than covered the costs to run it. The positive value it added to millions of lives far outweighs the negative.

depressing that people have to pay for the services and goods that they use? well i do agree that its pretty depressing that captcha is broken. AI seems ever closer to displacing humans… in the mean time we have to pay for internet services

Monthly users reaching 70 million. I doubt a basic server could handle that.

You’d be surprised what a well optimized server can do. Moores law hasn’t stopped. 70 million is a pretty low number, when modern $40 servers can easily do 10-100k requests per second.
