Facebook improved on what Myspace was, which is why it took over
Things are pretty much set now

I could never figure that one out either. Myspace was way better than Facebook. Especially at the time.I don't get why facebook beat myspace. myspace was much better.
but myspace fucked over millions when they deleted all the info in their accounts
Small bands kept MySpace alive forever it seems. Did it finally die??It would be tough for another "Myspace" type social media platform to thrive just given how popular the other platforms are.
I think if a company went the niche route and focused on specific parts of the music scene (for example) and expand slowly from there, they might do ok. I had a friend who used Myspace until just a few years ago because bands he liked were active on there.
Maybe niche interest social media platforms will be more of a thing, who knows. I loved how you could add a ton of personality to a Myspace page with music and other fun customizations. Nowadays you have to do that through your posts, which not everyone likes to do. Sometimes you just wanna put up an emo song with a black background, set your top 8, and be done with it, nah mean?
Because it was different back then, at first it was all young people on MySpace. It was our place in the world. Then older people started getting on too and Facebook pops up and guess what? You used to have to have a college email to join. So it was the “new place” where just our age group was.I could never figure that one out either. Myspace was way better than Facebook. Especially at the time.
