How do you feel about online chat rooms?

So I know a lot of you use Reddit to meet new people, but as of lately I decided to try my luck with old school online chat rooms and I was pretty surprised in a good and bad way. First off, if you read my post history then you'll know I met someone crazy off of a chat room but it doesn't out weigh the good experiences I've had so far. What I think stood out to me the most, was being female and being able to talk to other females. My luck with finding females on Reddit to talk to is non existent and I've had so many more conversations with women on chat rooms. You definitely have to weed out the creeps and dangerous people, but I've found some pretty interesting conversations going back to the old school way of talking to people haha. I also realized that if I added up how many people were online in all the given chat rooms at one time, it would probably get close to 10,000 people. Omegle is a crap shoot now and Reddit only has maybe 200 or less people on r4r and kikpals that are actively online at any given time. I also enjoy the concept of being able to instantly talk to someone, instead of waiting for PM's on Reddit and having to type their name in on Kik and sometimes wait for whoever knows how long to get a reply (some people message you and then like never check their Kik) Sorry this was such a long shitpost about online chat rooms, I'm just fascinated that chat rooms are still active and very alive. So do any of you guys use chat rooms or does the thought terrify you? 😂
