MySpace Deletes 12 Years of Music
In the 2000s, the social networking site Myspace was a popular place, not only for general social networking, but also for musicians, as they could upload their songs onto the service. The site fell out of popularity once Facebook became popular.

The Deletion of Music
On March 18, 2019, Myspace discovered that they had permanently lost 50 million songs during a botched server migration. The incident made MySpace re-enter the public consciousness due to it being abandoned after 2008.

Recovery Attempts
So far, only 500k files uploaded between 2008 and 2010 have been recovered, uploaded to the Internet Archive as the "Myspace Dragon Hoard".

John K. Stuff
John K. Stuff is mh:terribletvshows:John Kricfalusi's blog, where he posts his opinions on animation. He also gives info on the creation of animation.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) It's a bias-ridden blog filled with anti-Disney propaganda.
 * 2) Most of the pages are just his hate for almost every animation imaginable (to put simply, he thinks all animation post-1970 sucks) just for not living up to his extremely high standards. He gave mh:greatestmovies:Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs a zero score and said that was generous for him.
 * 3) *Not to mention, he even insults beloved animations like mh:greatestmovies:The Lion King (1994).
 * 4) Like most of his works, it's filled with vulgar and mean-spirited humour.
 * 5) *His review of mh:greatestmovies:Tangled (now deleted) was filled with homophobic remarks.
 * 6) This site popularised the term "CalArts style" which isn't a fair criticism as CalArts students have managed to go on to do unique looking animation.
 * 7) Now that John K. has been revealed to have been sexually harassing Spumco staff and underage girls, most of the site feels plain creepy.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The instructional posts are actually quite good. Fortunately he has a second site, John K. Curriculum, that focuses on these posts.
 * 2) He has a point on DVD releases of cartoons being ruined by DVNR (Digital Video Noise Reduction).
 * 3) His designs of celebrities like Donald Trump may look silly in a good way.
