Chatroulette is fun. Chatroulette is silly. Chatroulette as a cultural mainstay? Nah.

I hate to bring business into this, but Chatroulette never really scored that high on a net promoter score — even if people recommended that I play with Chatroulette, it was under the guise of something illicit and/or taboo. Most reports of Chatroulette were negative, and it was only taboo feeding the fire of people looking at it. Once. And then fading away.

Once you're there, Alexey's Law kicks in: your probability of seeing a penis is almost 100% after three or so "Next"s.

As much as I loved the concept, Chatroulette was ruined by the typical scourge of the Internet: male sexual frustration.
