Why did it become where the only way to talk to new people online is mostly during online gaming?

I guess talking to random strangers isn't appealing unless in forums, where you can make specific topics of discussion.

I remember using mIRC to download mp3s. What a fucking tedious task that was.
Played a game called Chaos a lot in mIRC.

In my teens, you could catch me in the Yahoo Grafitti chat rooms clowning. Girls always tried to catfish me there lol. But I also met a girl there that I ended up having a deep friendship for years. Then when we met up, she slipped her penis inside me and I realized I got catfished again. Psyche, we never met up and she got married to someone who wasn't me.

I do miss the spontaneity of chatooms tho. Discord is a godsend for gaming and general organization, but the problem with subchannels is that you can kill off spontaneous conversation.

Also, despite it being around for years, I only recently learned that Discord has public channels.

I don't understand why people consider it shit, though. It solved the awful, awful problem of not having an easy and universal VoIP, especially for gaming.
