i was there and on gaia :awk:

man i held out on myspace as long as i could my custom css... my playlist.... gone like tears in rain

Real ones were on Vampire Freaks

yall will say anything is better because it happened in the past

They started making changes to turn it into a music centric platform with weird features that didnt have anything to do with why people used it while tumblr took myspace’s formula and put it on steroids with a better aesthetic and nudity allowed. Time also just passed and people seemed to switch from myspace to facebook anyway before tumblr really went crazy

It was bloated as hell.

The reason fb really popped off was because how clean and minimalistic it was.

Facebook got you wiped down

IG got you wiped down

Tumblr had you wiped down

the idea of the feed that facebook brought to social media.

On myspace we were all contained to just our profile with the occassional mood status that you could update.

The feed allowed for my sharing and conversation

Alot of us was using myspace and facebook simultaneously. Tumblr came in and completely replaced all that until IG came

Myspace buying Facebook and tucking it in before it turned into the monstrosity it is today would have prevented a lot of damage 😔

you could code it with html and css too so when someone goes on your page they immediately hear your music myspace was actually so wavy wish i was able to experience it

i barely remember that internet era but i miss it before everything was so unique now it’s like all just the same profile just a different name

tumblr was that s*** bro what happened to the internet i loved

We may be making a marginal return to gaudy individualism with Apple basically allowing complete customization of the iPhone’s wallpaper and the success of these flip Android phones

With how much of a piece phones are of a person’s identity nowadays, I think this is a good positive step. A social media upheaval would be next hopefully

They completely f***ed up and lost a s***load of data right around the time their competitors started making a name for themselves

yeah not using a phone case and having a unique lock screen has been like part of my appeal or personality people say it makes me different

as far as social media idk. as someone who’s a software developer it makes sense to make it as streamlined as possible and give everyone the same profile and put less focus on that and more focus on driving them to put s*** out and consume it and just keep them consuming more posts we’re kinda done with longform internet

zuck straight stole facebook they should’ve told us that from the beginning he wouldn’t have had all this power if we told that dude to get lost for stealing someone’s idea

in another life he’s one of these guys running four figure group buys for leaked music

I was thinking of checking that app out, how is it compared to my space, instagram, and twitter? - what do you like bout it

The gangster SpongeBob page layout with a Lil Wayne song playing

Facebook

Exhausting drama

that would mean that MySpsce is still around and that FB is still relevant in some places

MySpace is Amy Winehouse

Facebook is Kreayshawn

IG is that chick with the ass
