In the beginning, it was nothing sort of an amazing service.
To be able to contact old friends and to catch up with family you didn’t see often, was invaluable.
But then, more trashy people started living their trashy lives through it. people under 18 brought their high school drama. People then saw it as a soapbox to blast their unsolicited political opinions + the lynch mobs that resulted, and then there was all of the tacky add-ons that made it a complete dumpster fire that most of us avoid like the plague.
Myspace when agitprop before fakebook did.
Back in 2005-2006 they sold a full screen that displayed everytime after login. It was from MoveOn.ClintonSoros and called out Booosh over the Katrina flooding in NOLA.
Newscorp didn’t buy Myspace until they went public and soon dumped it but the cool kids all ran away to facebook.
Newscorp execs endorsed Kerry over Bush in 2004.
