16 Reasons Why MySpace Sucks

16-reasons-why-myspace-sucks

Note: The average Myspace Users has an IQ of 115. Are you smarter than that? Take this IQ test and find out!

MySpace is the most popular social networking service (SNS) out there, with over 100 million user accounts and over 80% of SNS activity on the net. It’s also consistently ranked as one of the top 10 most-visited websites in the entire world by Alexa. Most people with two-thirds of a brain can figure out that MySpace sucks as soon as they log into the site for the first time, yet it continues to maintain its popularity. If you have a friend who likes to use MySpace, please refer them to this handy list of reasons why MySpace Sucks:

1. It is full of thousands upon thousands of spammer user accounts: If you use MySpace, you’re probably aware of the fact that you get a lot of friend requests from random people and music groups you’ve never met or heard of. This is because thousands of YouTube user accounts are maintained by spammers who use friend-adding programs to automatically add as many friends as possible. When they get thousands of friends, they post spam bulletins advertising stuff. MySpace has failed to take appropriate action to curb this massive abuse.

2. The site is slow: Anyone trying to use the site can expect a lot of messages such as “Server Too Busy,” “Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred. This error has been forwarded to MySpace’s technical group,” and so on. This is because MySpace’s servers are not powerful enough to host the traffic the site gets. Those spam bots use up a lot of site resources!

3. User-created profile pages look terrible and cause technical errors: Customizable profile pages are a nice thing, but when you allow customization to the point of having users completely f*ck up the appearance of pages and crash the browsers of those visiting profiles, your site sucks.

4. It is full of spyware: Industry experts have warned that MySpace is a “hotbed” for spyware and other malicious programs that can infect your computer.

5. It lets users crap-up their profiles with tons of videos and music: Nobody wants to see your favorite 20 music videos or listen to your terrible band’s music.

6. “Celebrity” user accounts: There are thousands of fake celebrity user accounts set up by their fans on MySpace. Why do people actually add these idiotic accounts to their friend lists? Is there something amusing about this? Frankly, it sucks.

7. Ugly advertisements everywhere: I guess if you’re already allowing users to make hideously ugly and broken profile pages, throwing hideously ugly and distracting ads all over your site isn’t a problem either.

8. There is no useful search feature: Want to search for your friends? People in your area? People with similar interests? Good luck with that: MySpace’s search tools are absolutely horrible.

9. Security flaws: MySpace has already proven itself extremely vulnerable to hacking, with the most famous case being one last year in which a worm turned thousands of user profiles into redirect links to a 9/11 conspiracy page. It may have not been extremely dangerous, but next time it could be…

10. Bulletins: This useful feature allows users to have their inboxes spammed with thousands of retarded chain letters and ads for bands. Amazing!

11. It is a haven for child molesters and pedophiles.

12. They are anti-human rights: MySpace recently launched a Chinese version of their site, readily agreeing to restrict users from seeing the truth about the Chinese regime’s crimes. Censored/Restricted topics include: religion, politics, Taiwanese independence, the Dalai Lama, and persecution of Falun Gong members.

13. MySpace is owned by NewsCorp: Rupert Murdoch’s evil corporation, which runs Fox News, also owns MySpace.

14. MySpace censors your political opinions: Those who go against the wishes of News Corp/ Fox News better watch out: it is well known that MySpace censors links.

15. MySpace users are stupid: If the ugly user-created profile pages, blogs full of idiotic and poorly-written crap, and terrible user bands aren’t enough to convince you that most of MySpace’s users are stupid, you can also see this study that shows they are statistically less-educated than users of other social networking sites.

16. MySpace is UGLY!!! I mentioned user-created pages earlier, but even the part of the site that isn’t user profiles looks terrible. [Computer geeks can also tell you that the code under the surface of the site itself is also ugly.]

  1. Oh, let’s not forget the annoying ads that scream “Hello!”, whenever you hover over it.

  2. I agree, I can’t stand how you have to listen to everyones music when myspace loads too.

  3. I just wrote on my myspace page: News Corp sucks the sweat off a dead mans balls. Suck a dick Rupert Murdoch, on my space. Lets see if that gets censored.

    Digital Glamour Photography…

    hey great stuff…

  5. ok. i agree on some of that stuff, but not all of it… some ppl have friends around the u.s. and cant get in touch with them, so they use myspace or something else. phone minutes are getting more expensive every year, and me personaly…i dont have that kind of money…so i use myspace, ya it sucks sometimes but id rather use it than pay almost a dollar a minute(depends on which phone plan), just to talk to my freinds that live in other states. and i Hate how it says that there is a technical error…and i have had to change my password 3 times b/c someone had hacked into it.It Sucked!!!

  6. THANK YOU! Finally someone thats not a moron!

  7. Hell Yes My space sucks. It is a cult of teeny boppers and child molesters who like to get in touch with eachother.I have no use for it. I belive it should get the same treatment as napster and get shut down.

  8. Yeah, it does but I avoid all that crap and it works.I’m only friends with my REAL friends that I met in person.And my laptop is REALLY REALLY fast on myspace or anywhere.The only reason I get on myspace is to talk to my friends and write in a blog,which you can also go to http://www.opendiary.com that place is the 2nd perfect place to go to for a blog or online diary and it’s not popular at all.The say that it’s the lowest score of users, and it has only 2,367 users…doesn’t mean they all get online there.I went there a few days ago and they said there was only 38 people on there blogs.I think it’s a great place to go.And blogspot,blogger,other things.But, anyway MYSPACE STILL SUCKS!!!

  9. I love myspace and you people have no brains.I’m going potty.

    (not really tom)

  10. i dont like myspace neither but i do like the concept. here is a better one it has all the features of myspace but with out the clutter and negative features. take a look for your selves. demo account is already set up just click login to try it http://www.friendview.net

  11. Dump myspace and check out my site that PAYS YOU to do what you do on myspace.

    Sign-up and create profile for FREE..

    A no brainer…

  12. I finally quit MySpace and left a nice little sign off letter, including a link to this article. And guess what? They’ve labeled the link as “spam/spyware/virus” and it gives you that phishing warning before it lets you click through. Just one more reason.

  13. I like myspace. What I don’t like is that the last few weeks after about 10 at night I can’t connect. Ever. Oh, the sign up to pay for advertising works, but that’s about it.

  14. I won’t lie, I too use Myspace, but I also enjoy my time on Yuwie as well.

    Yuwie is filled with a great team of people and the founder of it all actually listens to what we have to say; and takes it into consideration.

    That’s more than I can say about most sites who tend to completely ignore their users once they’ve gained ground in the market and are earning a healthy living.

    Unlike many other social sites, Yuwie! is taking a twist on the whole social networking trend and actually sharing a part of its advertising revenue with its users.

    Sure its pennies at first, but its still a baby only having a little over 500,000 members compared to the 200 million of Myspace and is likely more money than you’ll ever see from Myspace or Facebook alike.

    So, why not give Yuwie! a shot? It’s free to sign up and you might be surprised to find that its not all that different than Myspace or Facebook aside from what I find to be a much more mature and family oriented audience.

    Oh, and one more thing, Yuwie! DOES NOT tolerate spam. So, you won’t have to worry about being harrassed by those pesky porn bots with pictures of half naked girls begging to be your friend or the comment spam bots posing as your buddies rejoicing over how they just won a “$500 Macy’s giftcard”.

    Yuwie pays by Paypal or Check, $5 cashout for Paypal and $25 for a check, and who doesn’t use Paypal nowadays? Sure Paypal isn’t without it’s flaws, but it still commands the lead over being one of the most safest and easiest ways to transfer money online.

    Join Yuwie!

  15. Holy crap this is so true..

    LOL.

  16. Okay, I’ll play devil’s advocate here. Some of your comments about MySpace are true. There are a lot of musicians on MySpace (I’m one of them). But the truth is that MySpace remains the BEST way for independent musicians to market their music to new audiences.

    Thank God the people on MySpace (or the web in general) aren’t as close-minded as some of the people here, or indie musicians would REALLY be in trouble. But the fact remains that MySpace is the most popular site out there BECAUSE of the fact that it allows so much interaction. (By the way, I agree that News Corp sucks. If they get their way, the Republicans will ‘big-brother’ us all to death.)

    I understand your point about searching for your REAL friends on MySpace, but let’s face it, MySpace was originally started by a BAND to promote their music, so of course it favors musicians. The whole “social” aspect of it was added as a marketing gimmick.

    If you’re looking for a true “social networking” site, one where you can find your real friends online, isn’t that what Facebook is for? Or better yet, isn’t that what a TELEPHONE is for? That’s how I contact MY real friends! Maybe you should take a deep breath, get off the computer once in a while, and go hang out with REAL LIVE flesh and blood people. Try it, it’s fun!

    What a revolutionary concept, huh?

  17. Myspace is the worst social networking site ever … 99.9% of the profiles haven’t been logged into in years. Most of the profiles are (female)spammers trying to get you to sign up for some other site … its a shame to take such a good concept and ruin it. Myspace will fall … mark my words.

  18. wow dude your fuckin lame ass, I think theres a reason Its one of the most viewed websites in the world …..

    TOP 1 REASON WHY WHO-SUCKS … SUCKS

    1. They have this fuckin stupid ass editor

  19. Sniper of The One Above on April 19th, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    Wow, if this sucks so bad, why not just go back to molesting people on *shudder* MySpace *shudder*.
    MySpace does, in fact, suck. Half the people are molesters and the rest either have anger problems or are druggies.

  20. someone didnt have any friends on myspace.

  21. the person who wrote this is biased.

  22. Sniff, I’m nearly in tears reading this :’). I HATE myspace, and you just gave me 16 more reasons to hate it. I used to just hate it because my ex-girl has one (stupid reason yes; do I care no), but now I have 17 reasons. THANK YOU! I have NEVER had a freakin’ myspace and NEVER WILL! It should be eliminated and I tell people this a lot. So my closing comments, are simply, THANK YOU MAN!

  23. Jewxs own the damned site, so whatever they don’t aggree with they censor – so much for the freedom of speech. They deleted my profile without warning, simply because they did not like itr, but I couldn’t care less – the site is full of idiots, retards, niggas rap – a good hang out place for subhumans. Fuck it.

  24. lol!I hate myspace.Though Myspace is not near as bad as Yuwie!You see all these people on here begging you to join Yuwie?There is a reason behind that.

  25. Victor deserved to be deleted. What a fuckwit

  26. who sucks donkey dick ……………………………………..myspace sucks donkey dick lol

  27. myspace ruins relationships …. well no i take that back , the fucking idiots that cheat on myspace fucking ruins relationships , and the fucking online whores

  28. I think MySpace is very useful for bands and is a way to keep in contact with people. But some bands really take the piss with it. Bands that have only just formed who think the world owe them something, using MySpace to post their spam and crap, adding you for the sake of adding you, no gig listings just posting things on their upcoming shows like “Rehearsal @ 7pm”, “Songwriting session” as if anyone cares!
    Any old crap photos just thrown up with badly recorded video clips from mobile phones that you cant make a thing out from.
    After using MySpace to book gigs for a venue (on their request) it really does piss me off. Useful for bands that have talent and can actually play, but unfortunately swaped with no-hopers who think that putting a MySpace page up will make them rock stars.

  29. Myspace is for gay little 12 year olds who want to look badass by posting pics of themselves not looking at the camera. Or worse, looking at the camera and hugging a friend and giving the “peace” sign and sticking their tongues out. I hate it SOOOOO much.

  30. I agree with a lot of this, except the “Myspace users are stupid” portion. A great deal of Myspace user accounts are maintained by bots or idiots, but there are a fair share of people on there will college degrees and even graduate degrees. My friends, all of whom have earned at least 4-year degrees, have some sort of myspace presence.

    p.s. Some people have also found very creative ways to take advantage of the customizing leniency to create very elaborate and stunning profiles.

  31. Why do people keep saying Myspace is for idiots and Facebook is for refined people? Give me a break. Facebook is nothing but apps bombarding ugly, monotonous profiles in ways almost as bad if not worse than most hideous Myspace profiles. It’s also an information gathering machine that watches people like digital sheep. Facebook has as many agendas and assholes behind it as Myspace. They’re both for idiots.

    “Anti-Human Rights”

    Apparently China being a sovereign country and deciding to try and keep as much degenerate and demoralizing crap out of its society as possible is the worst thing since the Holy-Co$t. The iron grip of Free-Dumb must not stand still!

    “Censorship”

    Does the government take part in filtering MySpace? Furthermore, if Alex Jones is such a fountain of TROOOOTH, why exactly does he need to sell shit on his four websites and act like a crazy jewish prophet and make a hilariously bad “I predict the Trade Center will be demolished” video several days after the fact and then claim that he made it before-hand? Oh well, when you’re scared shitless of “Fascism” even though you can’t define it…

  33. [...] So LinkedIn, Facebook and MySpace are just as important … okay, not MySpace. [...]

  37. John Paul Jones on August 23rd, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    MUST BOOKMARK THIS PAGE.

    AND THEN MUST SEND IT TO EVERYONE I KNOW WHO USES MYSPACE.

    But in all seriousness, this page is awesome. But there is one good thing about MySpace. It’s the best way for independent musicians to advertise their music. I mean, the idiots on MySpace are so impressionable that they’ll listen to anything.

  38. MySpace sucks and the freakin’ skanks on there ruin it! Stick your “friend requests” where the sun don’t shine – oh, wait, nevermind you half naked ugly SKANKS!!! go find your own friend and/or boyfriend and put some clothes on you low class loser!

  39. no offense to anyone who is not a skank but has a normal myspace page. the skanks are apparently desperate for attention!!!!!!!! HA HA HA

  40. Toms Decomposing Colon on August 27th, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    Nothing but a bunch of commercialized fecal feaster’s who’d deep throat anything with a sneaker ad label.These fuckers will be breeding one day-Remember that!

    Fuck MySpace & the asscrackheads who spend their days/nights being rounded up like sheep to be cornholed by the latest “cool” corporate label.They are perpetuating global stupidity & are the very reason why gas prices are so high!

  41. MySpace SUCKS
    OMG Does it suck.

  43. [...] Source Share and Enjoy: [...]

  44. I agree. I forgot my password, Its very difficult to login.

  45. MYSPACE SUCKS!

  46. Myspace is a social blight on our society that does little more than allow pathetic nobodies to feed their ego and sense of self-importance while making themselves, their families, friends, colleagues, and lives totally vulnerable to intrusions and incursions by outsiders with malicious agendas. Con artists, potential stalkers, pedophiles, sociopaths, and would-be identity thieves frolic anonymously amongst the throngs with total freedom, masquerading as potential friends, networking contacts, and confidants, ready to lure unsuspecting users into deleterious and sometimes dangerous affiliations. Like in the real world, they strategically target the weakest members of the herd who are prone to being overly trusting, naive, ignorant, or simply reckless. To make matters worse, many unsuspecting myspace users tend to provide these deviants and opportunists with all the personal information and details required to a) pretend to share interests, b) gain someone’s trust, and c) ingratiate or insert themselves into someone’s life. Furthermore, these moronic posers unwittingly offer-up ample data (ie. cities, companies, true surnames) to actually enable a really motivated, disturbed, or fixated stalker to seek them out in the real world and initiate actual physical interactions. It’s basically the wild west: a platform for egocentric drivel, a haven for undesirables, and a crazy marketing machine that only exists because of ad revenues. One last thing… WTF is with accumulating and essentially trading friends like some sort of warped commodity? Are we back in grade school trading baseball cards here? These are people, not assets! And I don’t care even the slightest bit what some arrogant peon with real-world social phobias scored on a personality test… really none of us do. The only reason I can imagine anyone wanting to waste their life perusing such useless clutter is if they’re a wacko voyeur with dark motivations. SO BEWARE! That “friend” your significant other met on myspace probably wants to defile them sexually (or worse) and is perpetrating a long con at your expense. If myspace disappeared totally, the world would, IMHO, be a better place. Honestly, I would scoff at the shared melancholy of thousands of socially repressed, narcissistic losers who would suddenly be lost without it, who have spent years of their lives building and tweaking their perfect virtual monument to their own egos. And one more thing: I blame this whole thing on the “Me” generation… all these kids who grew up being told they’re each special and everyone deserves a voice, etc. etc. What a joke! You’re not famous and you never will be… you’re a nobody. Deal with it. Everyone doesn’t get a trophy in this life.

  47. myspace sucks balls. everything about it sucks. it has plagued my 2 brothers and they log on every fucking half hour to see how many “friends” they can get and what “kool comments” someone might post and take goddammn pictures in the bathroom. thats all they talk about! it annoys me to insanity.

  48. Having used and been a member of myspace for several years, I feel I should offer my perspective.

    On your points:
    1. Spam happens, but not if you use a little common sense. Enabling Captcha = no more spam. I don’t see how much simpler it could be. ANY SNS, just like ANY email service, or ANYTHING that you even glance is constantly being targeted by spammers. Bigger SNS’s are naturally bigger targets, but I get no spam in myspace, and haven’t for a loooong time. As soon as you connect to the internet, you are a target. Everyone knows this, and most just learn how to stay armed and camo’d.
    2. I think I’ve got that message twice, ever. Maybe that’s a fluke, but I have not had a problem with speed in years. The only times I have gotten that message was when they were in the process of upgrading their site. To me, that’s just the nature of the beast.
    3. Commie.
    4. Once again, nature of th beast. It’s not Myspace, it’s social networking and the internet in general, and myspace is one of the top players in that field. In fact here is the title and tagline of the article YOU are citing and misrepresenting: “Social-networking sites a ‘hotbed’ for spyware
    Youths on MySpace and similar sites aren’t cautious about surfing the Web”
    So you are posting on whosucks.com about how much you hate social naetworking sites. I think Alanis wrote a song about that.
    5. Yeah, everybody hates getting online and seeing nothing but free music and streaming video from both mainstream and independent artists of every genre, much of which they never would have heard of before looking for it on myspace. Note that I said ‘looking for it’.
    6. Two points… Fan sites and fan content are often more creative, enthusiastic, and genuine than the official (i.e. commercial) equivalent created by whatever company the band decided to hire. Also, many mainstream bands create a myspace profile and link to it from their official sites. If you ever do start liking music and video… and people, you may notice this when you email your favorite artist to tell them ho much you hate emailing musicians.
    7.True. Ads suck. But once again, it’s the nature of the beast. Would I prefer no ads? Funk yeah! Have you found a myspace equivalent that’s half as powerful which doesn’t contain ads? Can you find one with less ads? Go ahead, I’ll wait right here.
    8. Yeah, it could be better, and probably will be. They actually have a pretty heavily equipped search engine for meeting new friends, but it get’s a tiny bit trickier when that girl at kinko’s that you’ve been dying to stalk won’t tell you her myspace address. So far, your only option is importing your friends from your email accounts and other sns’s. But that requires you to have some friends that you already communicate with.
    9. Didn’t you say that already? That same hack could have been applied to any sit running similar content. For more, reread #4.
    10. Bulletins are from your friends only, people and bands that you wanted to keep up with. I really don’t know what needs to be said.
    11. Once again, you’re confusing myspace with the internet. Myspace does all they can, and more than most, to protect it’s underage members… not that the burden should be entirely on them. Hey, Parents? “Middle and high school principals in Boston, like school administrator Judith Malone Neville, are warning parents to monitor what their children put online. Police and school officials nationwide urge parents to remind their children that when they post their private thoughts online, strangers are definitely watching.” Makes a little more sense for parents to dictate what the actions of their children than for their children to dictate the behavior of the world, doesn’t it? As a parent, I feel for those who have suffered, but Myspace has never raped a child, or forced a parent to let the computer babysit for them.
    12. That’s one for you.
    13. Are you serious? Have you seen some of the funkin’ rants from every freaking side of the fence that saturate Myspace? I’m a proud Obama supporter and I’ve posted so much anti-republican liberal propaganda…
    14. It’s that or nothing. It was china that wanted it that way, and you abide by the law of the land. In china the age of consent is 14, but we still can’t watch their child porn.
    15. Myspace is easier to use, which just seems to torture you. Don’t think that’s the reason? then don’t link to an article that says just that. Incidentally, in said article, they start out simply comparing facebook and myspace, go on to talk about how much the world is changing thanks to these ‘powerful tools’, and somewhere in between approaches racism with comments like this:
    “The Goodie Two-shoes, jocks, athletes or other ‘good’ kids are now going to Facebook,” Boyd writes in her report. “These kids tend to come from families who emphasize education and going to college. They are primarily white, but not exclusively. They are in honors classes, looking forward to the prom and live in a world dictated by after school activities,” she added.
    On the other hand, “MySpace is still home for Latino/Hispanic teens, immigrant teens, ‘burnouts,’ ‘alternative kids’” and others who don’t quite fit the typical mold of the popular high school student, she wrote. “These are kids whose parents didn’t go to college, who are expected to get a job when they finish high school.”
    16. Having been a computer geek since I was a teenager (early nineties), a computer technician for years, and using my computer for everything, I’m going to tell you what at least one computer geek says. Go build a massive international network that allows people from across the globe to easily meet, share, and communicate while integrating multimedia sharing with a communications phalanx of user-created interest groups, blogs, forums, etc. and then you’ll have a legitimate reason to bitch about social networking sites. I am happy with my little space. It looks good, it’s easy to maintain, and it does exactly what I need it to where nothing else can. I can build and have built sites with streaming media, discussion forums, etc. and you know what the biggest difference is. Myspace is less work, almost zero maintenance, free, and generates instant traffic.

    But then again, maybe I just don’t know what I’m talking about.
    Reach me at myspace.com/damienqui and, as Roger Manning said, have a nice day.

  49. Oh, but don’t go there right now, as I am totally trying to get myself booted

  50. Myspace sucks ass, my college blocked the website because it kept giving the network viruses.

  51. Seriously I believe you’re a jealous little baby that’s mad because he didn’t think of it first. If your have the genius Tom is perhaps you’d quit your crying and try to come up with sonething half as good as myspace. I find you annoying and very much a crybaby. Yes myspace sucks from time to time and it gets frusterating, but it happens to be a great, simple way to keep in touch with my friends. So take you’re crying rump to your momma, idiot.

  52. And seriously all of you do the country a favor and grow up.

  53. Yeah really myspace sucks loads, to post videos dat i made, i made a utube acc like a year ago nd i started making friends nd talking der its really amazing on der, den i tried making a myspace acc nd i found it to be horrible i closed the acc within 12 hrs i made it seriously myspace is fucked from every side lol.

  54. i hate myspace cuz of the constant ads and shit and i also hate myspace because there a new thing every week in a bad way. i mean that there is always a new thing that doesn’t work no myspace. one week it’ll be music another week you wont be able to comment on any channel. also there is a whole bunch of old people who wanna touch your balls on the site by making there perfectly normal daughter an account and make her into a slutty bitch who wants to fuck so she picks people up and they go to the old guys house to get fucked but they ended up with having to bend over for a old hag

  55. Myspace is fucking stupid. And your “private” pages aren’t really private.. anyone with two ounces of hacking knowledge can really look at your crap.. it’s bs. Myspace “big brother” recently deleted one of my pictures that they considered “questionable content”.. though I’ve seen full nude pictures and all kinds of crap that’s been on there forever. Fucking gay shit won’t let me upload new pictures now. Fucker. I was trying to upload a FUCK MYSPACE picture and see if they’d delete that. I am ashamed to say I’ve had an account since like 2005 and I’m really thinking about deleting it. Myspace just gets worse every day.

  56. “MySpace is owned by NewsCorp: Rupert Murdoch’s evil corporation, which runs Fox News, also owns MySpace.”

    The crybabies of the world whine about Fox if you don’t like turn it off. That is what I do with both FOX and The Clinton News Network, CNN, they are both worthless. The BCC is the only halfway decent world news network out there. The also are crap on a lot of subjects. The problem is people don’t read anymore, how many books did you read this past year? Stop Crying you worthless examples of the human race. I am sick of your misspelled profanity being hailed as news. Go Die!

  57. [...] So LinkedIn, Facebook and MySpace are just as important … okay, not MySpace. [...]

  58. Thanks God I’m not in MySpace!

  59. And the number one reason myspace sucks: the whole site is owned by Rupert Murdoch CEO of News Corporation whos properties include:
    Fox Business Network
    Fox Kids Europe
    Fox News Channel
    Fox Sports Net
    Fox Television Network
    FX
    My Network TV
    News Limited News
    Sky Box Office
    Sky Movies
    Sky One
    Sky Sports
    Speed Channel
    STAR TV Taiwan
    Times Higher Education Supplement Magazine
    Times Literary Supplement Magazine
    Times of London
    Weekly Standard Magazine
    and Myspace

    can you say monopoly? I knew you could.

  60. Thank God I have the brain cells to know that myspace it a piece of shit. I’m sick and tired of seeing fucking pre-teens on there that think they’re “gangsta shit” and emo out their profiles because it’s “hhhhhxxxxcccccc”. It’s nothing but a superficial shit hole for kids who think they’re cool.

  61. I hate MySpace because of all the fucking ads on there. I can’t find shit with all the other shit blocking my view. It needs to be cleaned up.

    You are quite right. For music and art related activities go to http://www.putiton.com It’s much cleaner and easy to use. If you need lots of friends on the internet go to facebook. Enough of this myspace stuff already!

  63. Bruce Johnston on May 28th, 2009 at 10:49 am

    Come on guys, myspace ain’t that bad, a bit slow but there’s still fun to be had with it. Sam (the dude above me)- I check out http://www.putiton.com and think that when the usership grows it will be an awesome site. Maybe even replace myspace’s relevance to music! Who know’s? However, these guys are a tough crowd so don’t expect them to love it immediately.

  64. [...] flash, and other nonessential garbage reminds me of cluttered and amateurish myspace pages (16 Reasons Why MySpace Sucks). In essence, having fewer items for a visitor to download and having smaller items that a visitor [...]

  65. Most of the profiles are (female)spammers trying to get you to sign up for some other site … its a shame to take such a good concept and ruin it. Myspace will fall … mark my words.

  66. yepo, myspace is terrible!

  67. I COULD NOT AGREE MORE!
    THATS WHY I MADE MY OWN SOCIAL NETWORK!
    FUCK TOM!
    IF YOU HATE MYSPACE- TRY THIS
    YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!

    Myspace is better than facebook

  69. Dear Mr. Jefferson,
    Reading your rant was a waste of time, humorous and annoying. Even though you made a few valid points they where overshadowed by your desperate attempt at an ‘educated’ post that instead reeks of resentment and what seems like a childish temper. There is a way to make an article that is both informative and effective in conveying its message without coming across as being so judgmental and brash. I think you’ve failed at this. You have many truthful and factual statements here but you should be a little more concerned with winning over your audience than being destructive for your cause. Only people who have pent up anger and haste like you will appreciate this article. Otherwise, it will fall on deaf ears.
    I am both pro MS and pro FB. Any SNS can have its flaws and its strengths. It’s mostly tit for tat. You sound very bitter. Maybe you should try a glass of wine and a bubble bath?

  70. I would like Mspace if it was safer. But since it clearly isn’t safe (your account can get hacked into easily) I’m just going to stick with Facebook.

    If you just type in “How to” on Google and wait for some suggestions to come up, one of them is “How to break into a Myspace account.” Am I the only one who thinks thats messed up??

  71. One guy here stated that he`s paying a dollar per minute to call other states. I don`t know of any phone service that charges a dollar per minute to make a long distance call.

  72. Myspace is just idiot. If you’d spend half of your time spent trying to set a discrete looking at your profile in going out with your friends, well maybe you’d not surely be so alone as you feel when you watch your stupid myspace page.

  73. Ha lol…so true…myspace IS full of child molesters and idiots…just like tom anderson….lol…oh and NEWSCORP OWNS MYSPACE????….thats disappointing…and all you nerdraged people out there not agreeing to this…..FUCK YOU!!! STOP USING MYSPACE!!! AND IF U JUST “LOVE” MYSPACE THEN WHY DID U EVEN READ THIS TRUTHFUL POST????…..anyways…MYSPACE’S REIGN OF TERROR AND GAYNESS SHALL STOP!!!!….and tom anderson should die….oh and btw when u look up tom anderson in wikipedia…he looks like a pedophile…

  74. Thank you, thank you, thank you! – And here I was, thinking I was the only rationally thinking human being left on earth who had noticed it!

    Thank you for making my day!

    I love you all!

  75. [...] 10 years or so has. I was hastened to this conclusion, of course, a couple years back during the MySpace [...]

  76. Ok, I agree that we all have a right to our own opinions. I’ll respect that you hate myspace. But, I have to say, the way you describe people who use myspace is biased. Sure, MOST people on myspace are idiots or emo-kids, but not everyone. I know that (most) of my friends are NOT illiterate little tweebs. And neither am I. The only reason I use myspace is to talk to my friends when we can’t get together, which is very hard to do now-a-days, due to the fact that my parents forced me to take online school (but I’ll be going back to regular school next week, thank god).
    Also, in my opinion, I don’t like Facebook and Twitter. Myspace and email are the only social networking sites I use, and on both I only talk to people I’ve met, not adults or total strangers. Trust me, I’m paranoid enough to not add anyone I don’t know personally.

  77. Stupid app suck FUCK MYSPACE.Fuck MYSPACE. FUCK MYSAPCE TOO HELL.

  78. Myspace sucks ass, my college blocked the website because it kept giving the network viruses.

  79. Lets not forget the thousands of boys and girls who get raped because of the friggin site. It lost 900 MILLION DOLLARS TODAY! YAY! I hope the website goes DOWN TO THE GROUND. Damn that website.

  80. MySpace is for cretins. Oh My God No, I signed up and bailed shortly thereafter. They won’t let you delete your page! So…..I just changed all the info, deleted my photos, and wrote insults against MySpace in the info boxes!
    All the mail I got was pre-fab spam from men who don’t exist (and if they do, should be eliminated) who said they read my profile. If they had read my profile, they would never have written me. My profile said NO OUT OF TOWN LETTERS please and all I got was guys from ‘USA’ or some nebulous place on the globe. The letters were pathetic and obviously were sent out to alot of morbidly lonely women to see who would bite. I didn’t. I bailed! Alot of 419 stuff going down judging by the poor English in the crazy letters.

  81. Seemed like the thing to do at the time. When I began to get repetitive form letters the length of the Constitution from jagoffs who obviously never read my profile, I began to suspect spammers. I asked to be deleted but was sent links to my email that did not work in deleting my profile. There are guys who add you as a friend then harass you until you must delete them from your friends and block their mail.Not one quality man has entered my realm through MySpace. I am a knock-out with class, not showing my rear end and cleavage. I do have quite a few friends but they are as useless as breasts on a nun. What’s the point. we will never meet. I have been obstructed from deletion so seem doomed to have the profile until the Second Coming. Thankfully I have McAfee security installed in my PC so am not too worried about cyber intrusion.

  82. Hmmmm. As I browse people on My Space I see that our American culture has deteriorated to the breaking point.People’s photos and profiles are crude and reflect cultural depravity and rank blashemy in some cases. How many people are flashing the devil’s hand sign? Or their tits? Or their tush? Or blatantly showing highly satanic imagery like it is cool to worship a fallen angel. So many unattrative people shown at their worst. No wonder our society is rife with blank, mind controlled drones. Places like MySpace give them a forum. A really nice, decent profile is shunned like the plague.

  83. As for the hackers who can really look at your stuff, I always post fake names, birthdates, zip codes. My photos are neublous and some of them are not me, just someone who looks like me from a distance. especially aafter Ihave customized the photo. I do no online banking at all so there is nothing to see. Anyone who puts their real ID info on MySpace or an online dating site is a naive person who could get fleeced.

  84. ALERT!!! Big MySpace scam! DO NOT fill out anyo fhte IQ tests or other questionnaires that pop us. They all lead to the eventual asking of your phone # and cell phone provider.If you enter the info, you will see a charge of at least $19.99 from Flycell.com, who is the perp behind all these love quizzes and IQ tests. When I entered a complaint, MySpace assured me they were innocent and would look into it. Horse puckey. They are profiting from it and the same old crap is poppoing up every day on the site. AT&T is aware of this via many complaints from people who never signed up for flycell.com services, but were charged nonetheless. They removed the charge from my bill.

  85. {{{{{{Ron on September 6th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
    OMFG BITCH IT DONT SUCK ITS BETTER WAIT I TAKE THAT BACK ITS WAY BETTER THEN FACE BOOK BECUZ FACE BOOK ITS SHIT THE DUDE WHO CREATED IT. WHAT ELSE FACEBOOK U CANT ADD MUSIC BUT MYSPACE DOES. MYSPACE USSUALY HAVE MUSICANS IN THERE AND ACTORS. FACEBOOK IS LIKE POLITCIAN AND DUM STUFF FOR REAL AND MYSPACE IS POPULAR THEN FACEBOOK THEERE GETTING TONS OF HITS THEN FACEBOOK SO SUCK MY DIRTY ASS COCK. ALL THOSE CRACK HEADS WHO HATE MYSPACE MAIL ME BACK AND I WILL PUT A SCREAMER VID WATCH. my email is roncasasboy@yahoo.com ))))))

    This kid is a retard obviously. Someone hasn’t realized that Facebook is for the intelligent and higher class kids that want to do something with their lives. Where as myspace kids are ignorant poor class. Myspace sucks … Mainly because of the Child Molesters, Retarted people that think their myspace page is the shit and looks so cool when in reality its the most ignorant thing I have ever seen in my life. Idiots posting their phone number on there saying ”OMG TXT ME” “CALL ME ;) ” Seriously?? You really want someone to call you saying taking your friends name and saying they got a new number and want to meet you somewhere and then rape/molest you and you sit there and wonder why that just happened? People need to get fucking real. If you want to keep in touch with someone get a cellphone and call them. I could possibly sit there and write about the pointless shit and poor taste in music not to mention the crappy unsigned bands that want to get famous. Its rediculous… Not to mention the 10 year old girls posting half nude pics on there to impress someone is insane. Advertising porn. Its just a Internet Mainframe for morbidly obese guys to stare at young girls and get their rocks off and get people molested because they dont know any better. Myspace is fucking useless. Close the stupid shit down and give more space on the internet for more usefull things like How to turn a tv on with out a remote…. Seriously. -.- Fucking A…

  86. “I do with both FOX and The Clinton News Network, CNN, they are both worthless. The BCC is the only halfway decent world news network out there.”

    So you watch the “BCC” frequently?

  87. facebook is even worse now IMHO as it’s all more personal and even more “LOOK AT ME OMG OMFG LOL”.

  88. @Lol…

    Haha. Caps… shows everyones intelligence. Acutally Facebook is the second most visited website in the world (According to Alexa) Not for you saying he is retarded is just a silly childish attack just because you do not agree with him.

  89. myspace… that whirlwind of fucktards

  90. I am so upset right now and this just ruined my day. Not exciting news at all. If i wanted my music playlist to be on myspace I would have made one a long time ago. and im upset that my music playlist is being “intergrated” into myspace which means im prob gonna lose a lot of songs. errrh im so angry! bring Imeem back!. ALSO, myspace produces 15 year old female killers like Alyssa Bustamante. Myspace advertises porn. myspace is for kids who are ignorant poor class fucktards…

    MySpace is for cretins. They won’t even let me delete my page! Lets not forget the thousands of boys and girls who get raped because of the friggin site. It lost 900 MILLION DOLLARS TODAY! YAY! I hope the website goes DOWN TO THE GROUND. Damn that website. I would like Mspace if it was safer. But since it clearly isn’t safe (your account can get hacked into easily) I’m just going to stick with Facebook. It is a cult of teeny boppers and child molesters who like to get in touch with each other.

  91. That guy in the corner on December 10th, 2009 at 10:15 am

    Here’s a fresh reason.

    They took over IMEEM. That site was the best music source around and now Myspace takes it. It’s not fair.

    Myspace is the devil of the internet!!

  92. There are 2 type of people on myspace
    1. Pedofiles, rapist and whatever looking for 10-16 year old sluts
    2. Slutty girls around 10-16 years old looking for pedos
    FINAL?

  93. The problem I have with myspace are the “pretend to be friends” fakes,the tech issues are very annoying,The high school attitudes on there are so childish.They ought to call it Myfakes instead.

  94. A friend of mine was hit by a car and he had asked me to publish a book of his. So I changed my MySpace profile to say it was about his story… and some pansy reported me. MySpace sent me a canned letter saying my account was deleted without a chance to protest the allegations so I told them to suck my ass. On times when I’d actually written a thoughtful, cooperative response to them, all I would get back was another generic response that included every possible contingency they could think of (about 12 things). I haven’t used them since except to sponge free music. Even then I’d rather pay for iTunes than deal with their substandard quality of user and sea of spam.

    Facebook has been a little dorky around the edges, but when you take a look at someone like Steve Forbes, the Woz or Bill Gates, for example, you realize that sometimes you can live with a bit of dorkishness in the face of a greater good. I haven’t seriously used MySpace in about two years and I hope the platform implodes. Go Facebook!

  95. Those mother fuckers bought off imeem. Thats the only reason I need to hate it. If I ever see Rupert Murdoch, I’m gonna beat the shit out of him.

  96. FUCKINGHATEMYSPACE on January 26th, 2010 at 5:04 pm

    YEAH it should shut down soon and get rid of Myspace. They added fuel on the fire of people who used Imeem, Imeem is far better than Myspace seriously….

    “We’re happy to share that we’ve recreated your imeem playlists on MySpace Music. We spent a lot of time and effort to make a home for your music on our platform and beginning today you’ll be able to access your playlists.”

    RECREATED MY ASS!! THERE”S A LOT OF MISSING PLAYLIST AND SONGS!!!I uploaded lots of original songs came from my PC at Imeem now onlye few remaining. In Imeem I can search a lot of songs and listen to them even some songs that impossible to find you can find it there, now that it was gone… YOU SUCKS REALLY HARD MYSPACE!

  97. I never really liked myspace nor do i like facebook or any other social networking sites. They just seem like just a waste of time.

  98. It claims to have a “no adult links” ToS section but allows Suicide Girls and Jenna Jameson to link to their adult sites. It is nothing more than a contradiction to itself.

  99. All myspace can do is copy facebook right now to prevent people from switching.

  100. spam..end of story

  101. Too much drama, racism, whores, dummies, and nerds on it. Everyone in my school have one… I had one for 2 days and then I closed it. YouTube used to be good but it’s still better then MySpace.

  102. Really like this post, thanks for writing.
