Re:Way ahead of it's time: The Remote Lounge NYC by pcthrowaway on Wednesday July 26, 2023 @07:39AM (#36876028)
Can you share any information on why the Remote Lounge shut down? I took a look and basically just found that it got "seedy" over time: https://ny.eater.com/2007/11/30/6808673/the-shutter-remote-l...

I'm curious if you think web2.0 expanded so rapidly that the novelty of interacting with strangers over a camera was no longer foreign to people (though it seems ChatRoulette didn't even launch until after the shuttering of the Remote Lounge), or if it was just the kind of gimmicky thing that had an expiration date regardless of how the world around us changed during that time period
