I mean the concept of the site is exceedingly simple (hence its popularity), so it wouldn’t take much to create something that mimics its features. But, it would come with everything Leif posted about. And it would take years to gain any traction all the while having to try to combat all the reasons Omegle was shut down.

May not be worth it.
