No. MySpace was customizable. I redesigned my MySpace profile. Yeah, most people didn't do that. Some people did with the help of Google. You search for some code that would change the layout of MySpace, your page. I was doing that since around 2004. I joined Facebook in 2006 but was still customizing my MySpace even in 2008 and probably longer than that. Actually, I still have a MySpace as you can see in the link. Some people say MySpace is gone. But it is still here.
Yes, you may be right about the problems with MySpace and especially Facebook. I don't disagree completely with some of the problems that MySpace may have had.
I am not really aware of all of those problems with MySpace. I can't totally confirm how true they may be but it wouldn't surprised me. Maybe I'm too much of a computer geek nerd weirdo to notice. I don't know a lot of computer code but I was doing web design with Mea Omnia which died. So, i do know a thing or two about Word Press, some HTML and markdown code. But at the same time, I think that MySpace was better maintained than Facebook.
Yes, the principle is true that it is better when things are maintained enough and not too little. I hate Facebook and I wrote an article about that today. I prefer MySpace over Facebook.
The default layouts of MySpace was bulky, probably, and not as lean and as professional as Facebook, generally speaking, basically. However, MySpace had customization options that Facebook didn't. That is what I like about MySpace. It was like what a web builder is like to some extent. You could totally redesign your MySpace wall / timeline / profile / page completely. You could put videos anywhere on the screen, even in the corners, the footers, headers, stretched out, as many as you want. More customizable than Tagged. Upvoted. Resteemed.
RE: Everything will eventually go the way of MySpace unless you maintain it properly!
