And perhaps social media like Facebook, Google+ in general.

oh well
they were fads at best anyway

And I feel fine.

I haven't watched the video

But semi-related, why did Myspace fail anyway? and why is the Myspace brand so damaged that it couldn't be revived?

Oh and also semi-related but apparently Soundcloud ain't doing so great. They'll probably keep on trucking but still. I never liked Soundcloud anyway, I used it for my stuff several years ago and the TOS for the artist seemed a bit less friendly than most and the UI was AWFUL and it was just generally a huge mess.

Good riddance.

That's assuming the typical twit pays attention or gives a crap, which is doubtful so long as they can still receive the hourly updates from their fave celebs.

Money and a lack of understanding of what users liked about it, basically. Companies/bands started using it as a marketing tool, and the site started to change to accommodate that. Features broke outright, everyone had to deal with tons and tons of spam, and when they finally tried to relaunch the site, it was even more broken and centered around whoring products. Plus Facebook was getting popular, so people were migrating there and weren't willing to go back.

In its heyday, though, it was great for meeting new people. I'd add a bazillion people, then strike up a hundred conversations at once and get all kinds of different perspectives on everything imaginable. No other social media platform has made that kind of thing as feasible as Myspace did back in the day. I don't think any of the people running the company ever understood that, though.

And nothing of value was / will be lost.

Sidenote: Couldn't be bothered to watch the vid, but either way, don't think it would have changed much anyway.

Never understood why people used these "social media" sites to begin with...

Hello! It starts with the word "twit".

What did you people think was going to happen!? :P

Most logical conclusion would have been it becoming a "twat" :P

twatter then

Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook are all merging.

It will be called YouTwitFace.

Good riddance, if so. It's the worst social media site ever invented, and my life's only gotten better since I left.

You watched the video did you not?
