Is MySpace Coming Back? An 18-Year-Old Made a Clone and It Just Hit 1 Million Users.

A MySpace clone site called SpaceHey passed the million-user mark last week.

Its founder, 22-year-old student Anton Röhm, began working on the website during the pandemic when he was just 18 years old. The pandemic’s restrictions kept Röhm from traveling the world like he originally wanted to before starting university — so he turned to coding for fun.

“I thought hey, why don’t I build something like MySpace back then, but just new and with the basic functions, the creative freedom, and additionally solving the problems that I see on social media nowadays,” Röhm said in a 2021 talk in Hamburg, Germany. “And that’s how SpaceHey came about.”
