Ten Reasons why MySpace SUCKS

Posted on by

10. The blogging tool. No quoting. The fonts are always whacked. Hyperlinking doesn’t always work right. Does anybody serious use MySpace for blogging?

9. The 16-photo limit. What good is 16 photos. At least with Flickr or .Mac, you can post as many as you like.

8. The awful, awful look and feel. ‘Nuff said.

7. The ‘just enough’ attitude MySpace’s developers take towards every aspect of the solution. Every feature–from mail to blogging–is so bare bones that it makes it impossible to consider for serious use.

6. The overwhelming presence of immaturity. Anybody who’s been surfing MySpace must recognize the utter lack of consciencious thought being uttered by the people on this site. The membership rank and file seem to all be the same pissed off teenager masquerading as 100 million differnt people.

5. The age gap. Name ONE fourty-year-old you personally know that uses MySpace regularly and then mark them off the list if they’re a professional musician–that doesn’t count.

4. The navigational layout stinks. It’s too easy to get bumped out of your own profile while you’re working on something.

3. The fraternization among MySpace people doesn’t *do* anything. I’ve sat on my hands and kept my mouth shut about MySpace for a long time, wondering who in the heck could spend so much time posting flirts and comments and “what up doe” euphamisms on an Internet site? What good does it do?

2.  The fakeness of people. It really makes me wonder, are these people this uninhibited, sexually forward, callous, and idiotic in real life, or is it just the fact that I have 2 kids and grew up before everybody else in my demographic?
1.  The general inferiority of MySpace, when compared to other social communities such as Yahoo, which have so much more going for them (a decent look and fee, better authoring tools, and a real platform of content to call on), including voice and video (Skype’s new 3.0 community features make MySpace look little).

There you have it. 10 reasons why MySpace sucks. Flame away.

  1. all your 10 are correct. but as someone Well Over 40, well, this is why MySpace “works”: easy Login leads directly to one’s “Friends” List. and, any other list one could need. case closed. end of story. once “connected” on MySpace, ones friends can easily find their ‘Real’ Blog, Website, whatever. i use MySpace so peeps can find our I’net Radio Station. the site works WAY better than Yahoo or MSN or any of the rest becuz everything one needs to find out about someone is all on one page. can’t beat that.

  2. LOL,
    Correct I seem to be the only one with an IQ high enough too realize that myspace is a total waist of time. Why should I go on a place to talk to my fucking friends? I can talk to then over IM and not have to let 100000000 people look at my hot ass face.

  3. I agree with everything you have said. I think one thing you may have missed though is the spam and vulnerabilities. I am a software programmer and the amount of exploits that exist is mind blowing. Good article.

  5. I am a YA author who has used myspace extensively for the past two and a half years. I accumulated over 71,000 friends and probably hold the largest author profile on myspace.

    I use myspace, primarily, as a means to contact readers of fantasy and to spread word about a novel I’ve written called Luthiel’s Song.

    For one thing, I am fanatical about responding to fan mail. Unfortunately, as myspace has a hair trigger policy on spam, due my high daily usage, I was flagged and as of this writing no longer have use of my profile.

    I do not use bots. I am not a porn site.

    I promote literacy to students aged 11-17 and I write books.

    In order to save all my hard work and prevent my profile from becoming deleted, I contacted myspace directly. Not only did it take them three days to reply to my first email, the original message I received stated my profile would be usable again immediately with all changes having set within 24 hours.

    24 hours has come and gone but I still do not have access to my profile’s ability to email, request friends, and send comments.

    I contacted myspace once more.

    Their answer to me — ‘wait another 24 hours.’

    All for something I never did in the first place — spam.

    I am of two minds about myspace. On one hand, it is a fantastic platform for networking and gives artists like me an amazing opportunity (or so it seems). On the other, profile deletion occurs very often and the reasons tend to be nothing short of arbitrary. In all, I’d say the relationship between myspace and its clientel is adversarial at best.

    Despite all of this, I happen to need myspace. I sincerely wish there was another site on the internet that provided what myspace does but without the prospect of an axe hanging over my head if I send replies out to my fanmail.

    Thoughts??

  8. I agree, my space is hurting more than it ever had a chance of helping…..i personally do not have a my space account, 1 – because i prefer to interact with the people and 2 – the things i have heard and seen happen to people with an account, even people without accounts have been messed with by myspace users. Yes, there are people on myspace who i know are decent, but for the most part it seems like getting out a ruler would make things faster and easier. It is a cheesy way to show whoever cares you have “friends”. the worst of the worst my space users are just lonely insecure people who obviously do not know how to interact in the real world, if they did, they wouldn’t need to make up their own little world online. one word – pathetic

  13. Totally agree its a useless piece of crap for attention seeking bitch girls and male faggots low life nOOBS!! You ar better off locking yourself inside a HUGE trashbin with u and all ur “friends” and lite urself on fire. Nuff said

  14. MySpace is going down! Time is the answer to when, but it\’s going down. It\’s a failure in the making. The damn creators need to get their fucking code and encryption together first before all these viruses, worms, spammers, phishing occurances, and deleted accounts become ONE HUGE MESS!!! No account on MySpace is SAFE. Myspace is *NOT* SAFE – PERIOD! It\’s going down.

  15. dude.. i love myspace.. u can ‘suck my tits’ cause myspace is cool… and all yall who think its gay are gay.. so go fuck ur bestfriends mom and get a job and stop smoking weed and go suck dick…
