Let's understand: Myspace was a social networking platform that gained immense popularity in the early 2000s before Facebook entered the game. Facebook's NSM was Monthly active users, while Myspace used registered users as the NSM. The problem with Myspace's metric? It focused on attracting new users who may not use the platform regularly, while Facebook's metric focused on keeping existing users engaged.
