Because I'm feeling bored and ran out of ideas, I'm going to list reasons why Myspace should be sent to hell.
Cool New people
When logging in, Myspace greets you with pictures of random strangers. No they're not psychedelic stalkers, they're "Cool New People". Apparently Myspace thinks we want to be friends with child molesters.
Profile
No one needs to read your over-flashy and disorganized page. We don't need to know about your pointless life. Stop wasting your time updating your profile to make it look "perfect" when it was already doomed to begin with.
Profiles are also the gateway for Internet stalkers. Think of profiles as those big, flashy, Las Vegas style marquee signs. With flashy and pointless words everywhere, no wonder people are assaulted on Myspace. Your profiles practically say "Come in, its ok!".
Friend List
The friends list is the sole reason why Myspace exists. In my opinion, the friends list is highly inhumane. In Myspace, you are obligated to list your existing friends as an item or product of some sort. Adding them in your list like some crazed collector is the theme of this evil site. Funny thing is if you don't start treating your friends as products, they'll start getting mad. "Why haven't you added me yet, do you hate me or something?" I guess people do want to be treated as emotionless objects.
Top 8
Ah yes the infamous Top 8, one of the most hated aspects of Myspace. If collecting your friends wasn't bad enough, now you can label them as prized trophies. Problems arise once you have more than eight virtual friends. Friends in the Top 8 will glorify you and praise your kindness while the rest will feel resented at such a betrayal. You'll start getting flamed and your friends in real life will get pissed off because they aren't in your top 8 but a porn star is. Recently Myspace is able to view up to twenty-four friends at the same time now. Yay, we get a bigger trophy shelf now to objectify friends.
Comments
If anything can even come close to the heinous Friends list, it would be Comments. Someone needs to tell me what's the point of leaving a comment. Does "nice page" or "thx for the add" actually help you? No I don't think so, and neither does spamming smilies and those animated GIF's. I doubt comments were created for "commenting" because now they're mostly used to talk about personal lives. Well we don't need to know about how you think your face is ugly or what you were doing last night in bed. These conversations don't belong in a public website that millions around the world can view. They should remain in instant messaging, the phone, or even better, Real Life.
Popularity
Some users want to be friends with "cool" people in their school. These pitiful myspace users are stuck in the illusion that cool people actually log on to myspace. These loners think that by adding them, their popularity will go up. These desperate myspace users think they're popular now just because some lame user added them. They can't be friends with the cool kids in real life so they add them in some fake virtual online page. Yeah they're that desperate. Contrary to popular belief, adding celebrities and porn stars doesn't increase your status in society either. Frankly, it lowers it. Saying "your a frekin hawt babe" won't win over anyone of the opposite gender.
So that's my list of why Myspace sucks. Now that you know that Myspace is only for petty flirting, wannabes, and emos, get off and start living a real life. Instead of torturing yourself from the lack of comments, go and find a more productive and less evil hobby.
Thinking back, I wasted my time that night at May's house opening a new account on Friendster, cause my old one was a history.
