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?

This was one big reason which contributed to Facebook's success and the failure of Myspace.
