An interesting concept that unfortunately exposed awful people. I never let my kids on there because every 4th visitor was a penis. It had the potential to connect people. A shame it was abused.

But that in itself is already a valuable life lesson.

If you want to make some quality friends, you gotta wade through all the dicks first.

I never used the video chat for that reason, but I did have a few interesting discussions about philosophy and mathematics, when you were able to enter your interests and it matched you with people who'd entered the same.

Another piece of the olden-days internet died today. Buonanima.
