I remember quite a while back, Chat Roulette song improv was a big thing. It was the guy in the hoodie - PianoChatImprov on Youtube. I just looked it up and, wow, that was 10 years ago.
This was also before Chat Roulette became nothing but dongs.
- Nursie 7y agoI'm kinda surprised there was a "before" in that situation. I presumed that was what was going tonhappen from the get-go. Perhaps I am too cynical.
- artursapek 7y agoYou'd think with the state of machine learning these days someone could have another go at it, and ban users who show their dongs
- glasenator 7y agoNot Hotdog
- kripy 7y agoOr for those that want it, have a dong on / dong off preference.
- toyg 7y agoSadly, no. At the beginning it was mostly random people. Unfortunately, you need very little to ruin things - most normal people will not play even with a 10% chance of getting a dong, and the more “normies” leave, the higher that chance gets, in a vicious circle.
- trianglem 7y agoIn these confusing times I sometimes tend to forget that being a normie is a good thing.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoThat's not the definition of 'normie' I'm familiar with. In fact, I'd expect normies to be the ones showing dongs.
- recursive 7y agoNormie means unremarkable middle-of-the-road as far as I know. Showing dongs in anonymous video chats is not what I'd expect from a normie.

- stronglikedan 7y agoMaybe it just normalized to be only "normies", and normal people just happen to really like dongs, even if unspoken?
- enjo 7y agoI was on Chat Roulette very early.. and maybe my memory is bad (I'm getting old) but I remember it being dongs pretty much from day one.

- throwaway13337 7y agoThat's an interesting blog post. As an aside, I've noticed exactly what the author mentions in it happening in hacker news recently - there is a shift in politics to less tolerance. I've reduced my own viewing because of it. I suppose it will just re-enforce that lack of tolerance.
- beshrkayali 7y agothe question is, would it be possible to implement something like that in a way where dong shows don't take over? What is it exactly that turned chat roulette into that?
- OJFord 7y ago> What is it exactly that turned chat roulette into that? Being on the internet?
- dec0dedab0de 7y ago* would it be possible to implement something like that in a way where dong shows don't take over? * Having an option to mark yourself as NSFW, and to decide if you want to see NSFW cams would go a long way.
- strombofulous 7y agoIIRC they had this and only guys used it (because only guys were naked on chatroulette to begin with) so nobody used it.
- thatcat 7y agoYea, discord can detect dicks. I'm guessing that the hotdog/no hotdog algorithm is advanced enough by now.
- chipperyman573 7y agoReally? I've never been in a group where one is sent, does it block it or just mark it as NSFW?
- thatcat 7y agoThere might be a setting for the room, I've seen it marked as explicit content prevented from uploading and it doesn't show the picture.
