Recently, the current owners of the MySpace website expressed interest in bringing the site back as a social platform, like how it used to be. I've asked this already in my bulletins but I'd like to know how the general oldweb community feels about this. So are you gonna check out MySpace once it comes back? And do you think sites like SpaceHey, Napoleonite and FriendRewind will still be allowed to function once MySpace becomes a social platform again?
it is not guaranteed MySpace will be back as the social platform as we knew it. it might end up a web3 technobro platform enshittified out of box, might be something decent. we don't know
so napo, sh and fr are still absolutely have all rights to exist

@tomohaze I'm willing to bet it's gonna be the 1st option ngl. I hope they don't try to go after the actual revivals :')

Tbh, I don鈥檛 really think genz should go to MySpace cause it鈥檚 probably gonna be filled will just adult creeps, especially since most of genz is gonna wanna be on there, they might take that as a lead to find minors on there, 馃
Probably gonna be changed too much, if they want profit they'll end up being just like any other social media (reels, shorts, tiktoks...)

@permanentdaylight聽this is what I'm worried about - in order for it to succeed, it needs to be profitable and I'm curious how that can realistically be achieved. Back when MySpace was popular, popup ads and banners at the top/bottom of the web page were the primary online advertising medium and neither of those seem like the main way to advertise online anymore. So will they resort to tracking us in the background and selling the data like Meta? Or will they have to incorporate short-form advertisements somehow? Neither of those options are necessarily desirable.
"I'll have two number 9's, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with cheese, and a large soda."
Yeah, I really don't see how it'll be profitable long-term unless they make it... Not myspace.
I hate the idea of it, i worry it will take from sites like this, be overrun by millenials, and it likely will not have the html customization that these myspace-like sites have.
It's literally owned by an AI tech marketing group now. I will not be giving them my data or time.
I really don't need to destroy the planet while making cute blogs and new friends. I will just stary here where it's cozy and not owned by a dirty corp.聽

@kaylvang 饟崲执嗷嬧潃 wait it is? I didn't know that. This is gonna be such a disaster ig it's the divine bullshit all over again T0T

@foggywinter i'm not that hopeful either but tbh myspace was toxic bcs the whole internet was toxic asf at that time. Bullying was unfortunately very normalized online back then :(

To be owned by an AI tech company is never a good sign. FriendRewind respects the values and ethos of the OG myspace so as far as I'm concerned, this is where I'm staying

@sugaryFixation聽and it's a cozy spot too :)
I don't think it's gonna be going anywhere tbh, some people might join and get bored after a few weeks considering how rotted all of our brains are by mainstream social media. If it does take off I don't think it'll be anything amazing tbh, maybe I'm too much of聽 a negative nancy tho

@ChelovekFlower nah i don't think it's going anywhere either considering that myspace is currently owned by an AI tech company (jesus it's the divine thing all over) and i'd bet they would turn myspace into modern social media so that it's more profitable TvT
I think it's a really big positive in the days of modern internet, we'll (hopefully) have a platform that isn't run by likes, trends or algorithms and I'd love to see it. Bring back originality and personal pages lol

@dolliene it's gonna be owned by an AI company though D:

i have an unshakable feeling its going to go horribly i think it started when the first thing i saw on the site when i opened it was kanye west
IF SICK IS DEFINED BY WHAT'S DIFFERENT, WELL THEN PULL THE PLUG OUT AND LET ME DIE
i hope they update it and make it into an app to for mobile user and also update the app in general and keep some stuff the same and some different because i want to experience that 2000s myspace era even tho i wasn"t there when it was popping off so now that's it coming back i cant wait to experience it聽
tbh i have very low hopes for it.. a lot of reboots always kinda suck and i generally think myspace should keep its legacy as it was instead of bringing it back and potentially making it worse 馃槶 i generally think that kids nowadays aren鈥檛 a good demographic for myspace and most adults who used it are probably too adult-y to be using it all the time.. thus the platform either flopping or become a cesspool of toxic people and slop聽
im so hungry..
I'd like to think the whole thing will go well but that's likely not gonna be the case
