#22This thread has so much optimism considering what chatroulette is/was/became.
Immediately thought... So I'm chugging along with work and ready for a little endorphin hit from a social interaction and Bam, a penis. Skip, Bam, an A-hole screaming the N-word at the top of his lungs. Why again did I... People suck, I don't even want my to work anymore.

#2510 or 15 years ago it would have been a giganticover-engineered distributed XML-based chat protocol that would have been proposed...
Instead we have a down-to-earth simple subscription to a centralized list of email addresses and an automatic pairing service. For 5$. What have become of our dreams...
Just kidding. I wish you success but I personally won't pay 5$ for this, even if it's my first time working from home too.

It says you should prepare for the debate with sources and that the next round will start in 1.5 hours... but no topic is given and when I click guest access I get a message saying that dinner is already over. The last tweet is from a few weeks ago, no topic announced there either to gauge whether I'm interested in the first place. Not sure how I should get involved other than showing up unprepared and seeing if anything is going on.

#28A few thoughts: 1. This is a really neat idea. I love the creativity. 2. But for $5 you're not giving me a whole lot more than what I can get for myself on Reddit, HN, Social Media. What do I get exactly that I can't get by just asking on social media? 3. Call me wrong, I'm not actually sure how I feel on this. But it kind of slightly maybe smells like profiteering. Do you really need $5 per person? Does the price re…
It's just a cash grab. Created yesterday, stock photos, a '50% off' deal at $5 since inception with no demo of how it works. A lot of people will pay $5 and just not think more of it, but that can turn out pretty nice in these times. I do like the idea, but I feel that a Discord chat with separate rooms where multiple people can hang out and find eachother again would be cheaper and more useful. Edit: Actually, if so…
I'm interested!
Just created a brand new empty one, i'm setting it up, join whenever whoever

#29What? It’s a paid service? Based on one of the crappiest places on the Internet?

#30I thought I'd put something together for people working from home. I've been working remotely since July and honestly, the lack of social contact gets old fast.
I usually just have a twitch programming stream running in the background. I can participate in the discussion via chat if i feel like it or just focus on my work while hearing someone typing in the background. Not sure why but it gives me a sense that I’m not totally cut off.
