Even if it had good content, the ads would drive me nutso. I got an account ecause I saw people I knew from LJ had accounts and I wanted to look at their MySpace blogs, which required I register.
It's the most ghastly-slow site on the internet, every time I have to change screens for anything I get bombarded by ads and it seems like most of the pages I go to visit are purple text in 7 point font size on a black background. It eerily reminds me of some 90's geocities pages.
What's up with the fascination with small type in general on the web? I see more and more pages, especially blogs, with microscopic type. I know it's easy to enlarge text in IE, but IMO i shouldn't have to.
I think it's mostly dumb kids with giant monitors and screwed up settings for their browsers. So many of those myspace blogs are set for 1280 px wide and the font/background contrast makes many of them unreadable. Which is why I compare them to the previous scourge of personal web sites - Geocities.
Most blogger or LJ blogs in contrast, have a more professional and readable layout.
