The one time I went on Omegle everyone kept next-ing me almost instantly, and maybe one out of five times they next-ed me as soon as I said “hello” or the equivalent. I can’t think of any characteristic I have that would make me exceptionally next-able, so I concluded that Omegle was a really frustrating waste of time. I’m confused as to why other people concluded otherwise.
Some tips for using Omegle: Choose the text chat option. Put in at least 40 interests that might appeal to someone who thinks (ideally you’ll have enough interests so that you’re never getting random strangers). Open 2-3 browser tabs so you can fish for interesting people in parallel and use ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab to cycle tabs (or don’t do this, if you don’t want to get sucked in). Press escape three times to get a new person. Generally do this if the person you’re chatting with asks your gender within the first 5 messages they send.
I have had success with Omegle’s video option, but I think you just have to accept the fact that a lot of people are going to next you just so that you won’t next them first. Could be good for building a thicker skin.
