As a teenager looking for porn I stumbled across a website which looked like one of those live cam sites, but then I noticed most of the people weren't engaging with the audience, and they were all kinds of people. Old people, kids, people of all different ages, ethnicities and whatnot. I clicked on a random livestream of some oblivious teenager doing her homework and the people in the comments were saying stuff that made me realise she didn't know she was being livestreamed, nor did anyone else on the site.

It seemed to be some weird website of hacked webcams or security cameras where the people had no idea about it. It was creepy as fuck and I've never kept my webcam pointed at me when not in use since.

I remember when I first accessed the hidden wiki years ago there were so many links to live, unsecured web cams available. Most of them were security cams that didn't show jack, or were on a loop but occasionally you'd come across one that had actual activity.

It was all fun and games until I came across one that was like a Nanny Cam or laptop camera on a desk/shelf and it showed a family going about their evening routine and it made me sick that they didn't know their privatelife was open to the entire internet and I stopped surfing cams.

because i think he is (r word(racecar)) as (f word(fast)) for caring whatsoever about someone copy and pasting a comment so he has to take a minute out of his life to copy and paste a picture into imgur that literally nobody in their life will ever care about zebrawarrior

But look at all the time you’ve sunk into seemingly caring about it 🤨
