Does MySpace Still Exist? Does Anyone Still Use it?
MySpace rose to fame from its 2003 launch, but its usage has declined sharply. Users wonder if it’s still online or completely defunct.
Current Status
- MySpace is technically still active in mid?2025. It remains owned by Viant Technology LLC, and the site operates in a limited, read?only style—with broken images, sparse new content, and music functionality disabled since early 2022
- The platform permanently lost all content uploaded before 2016 during a server migration failure in March 2019
Usage Stats
- In June 2025, MySpace received about 1.7?million visits (approx. 4.4 pages/visit, avg 1?min 39?sec) and ranked #25,742 globally, #76 in US social networks
- This is a steep decline from its peak: ~115?million monthly visitors in April 2008, and ~7?million by 2019
Who’s Using MySpace Now?
- Activity is extremely low. According to Reddit nostalgia threads, users describe it as a “digital graveyard” and mostly inactive
- Most visitors are likely former account holders browsing old profiles—rarely posting new content.
Why No Comeback?
- The platform lacks modern features, mobile usability, and social relevance.
- Nostalgic appeal isn’t enough to compete with contemporary networks.
