    If MySpace hadn’t gone away, it would just be like Facebook is now anyway.

      It would be worse. The site got bought out by News Corp (FOX’s parent company) in 2005.

      The site would be some kind of TurningPointUSA / DailyWire right-wing trash factory. Every song on there would be Ben Shapiro rapping or Oliver Anthony releasing the “Rich Men North of Richmond” techno remix.

          I love it, but in these wonderful united states where myspace was based, let’s just say bludgeoning people over the head with a direct reference is usually more effective than a more subtle approach.

          Plus I would hate to drag all of Germany into our hypothetical corpo-hell by another name, even though MeinSpace is definitely the best sounding option. Even something like HeilSpace might not be direct enough.
