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.]

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.
“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!
Thanks God I’m not in MySpace!
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

Speed Channel

and Myspace
can you say monopoly? I knew you could.
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.
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!
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.
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.
yepo, myspace is terrible!
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
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?
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??
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.
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.
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…
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!
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.
Stupid app suck FUCK MYSPACE.Fuck MYSPACE. FUCK MYSAPCE TOO HELL.
Myspace sucks ass, my college blocked the website because it kept giving the network viruses.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 [email protected] ))))))
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…
“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?
facebook is even worse now IMHO as it’s all more personal and even more “LOOK AT ME OMG OMFG LOL”.
@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.
myspace… that whirlwind of fucktards
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.
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!!
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?
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
All myspace can do is copy facebook right now to prevent people from switching.
spam..end of story
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.
Really like this post, thanks for writing.
