Omegle was created by then 18-year-old K-Brooks from his bedroom in March 2009.
The platforms main idea was to allow users to connect and interact with strangers without the need to register.
Ive even heard stories of soulmates meeting on Omegle, and getting married.
Those are only some of the highlights, K-Brooks wrote on its website while highlighting Omegles positive impact.
Nevertheless, the platform has been under intense scrutiny.
The decision comes at a time when social media platforms are facing increased scrutiny from regulators worldwide.
K-Brooks described the stress and financial burden of running a platform under pressure, along with the legal battles.
Unfortunately, what is right doesnt always prevail.
Operating Omegle is no longer sustainable, financially nor psychologically.
Frankly, I dont want to have a heart attack in my 30s, he added.
He also thanked users who used Omegle for positive purposes and contributed to its success in any way.
Im so sorry I couldnt keep fighting for you, K-Brooks concluded.
