in social media, but one that became too complex for many users. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She believes MySpace&#8217;s original strengths \u2013 music, creativity, and personal expression \u2013 could still resonate, but only with more accessible design. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It could be more user-friendly, with less coding involved,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Alex Mills, a social media strategist who has led campaigns for Spotify and Adobe, says the very thing people are nostalgic for, a feed without algorithms, was also &#8220;the thing that killed it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;People still want a feed,&#8221; Mills says. &#8220;They just want a better one than the ones optimising for rage bait.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kevin McClary, head of performance marketing at Gorilla 76, believes MySpace should not try to compete directly with Meta, TikTok, or X. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;They can be successful and sustainable even as a niche platform,&#8221; he says, arguing it should be rooted in 2000s culture. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">McClary says leaning into MySpace&#8217;s music identity could be a smart move, from profile songs to 2000s-themed festivals and merchandise. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He believes the audience could be broader than former users, with younger generations embracing the early-2000s aesthetics they never experienced firsthand. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;You see younger generations now buying old point-and-shoot digital cameras, MP3 players, even film cameras,&#8221; McClary says. &#8220;They clearly have an interest in the past.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">MySpace could meet users where that trend is growing by becoming a place rooted in a &#8220;specific time,&#8221; he says. He noted that creators making 2000s-style content on other platforms are often at the &#8220;mercy&#8221; of algorithms. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Fox agrees that differentiation is essential. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;MySpace shouldn&#8217;t hang their hat on features other platforms already dominate,&#8221; Fox says, pointing to Reels and short-form videos. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Popular formats can be added, she says, but they should not define the platform. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She also sees an opportunity to offer a calmer experience. Today&#8217;s feeds, she notes, are &#8220;algorithmic-driven AI, constantly in your face.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A platform where users have more control, or simply feel less overwhelmed, could stand out in a crowded market. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">For fans like Hawkins and Kristin, the appeal is emotional as much as practical. Both say they would return if MySpace kept its original spirit. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">For now, its comeback exists mostly as a promise \u2013 a reminder of a time when social media felt a little less polished and a lot more personal. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Are you still gonna have that same feeling?&#8221; Hawkins says. &#8220;Are you still gonna feel like, &#8216;oh my god, somebody loves me?'&#8221; <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
